This tribute concert is a

celebration of the 90th birthday of Pierre Boulez,

one of the towering figures of modern music. Pierre Boulez has conducted The Cleveland Orchestra over a time span of nearly fifty years — the longest for any conductor throughout the Orchestra’s history.

Since making his american professional conducting debut with the Orchestra at the invitation of george Szell in 1965, Mr. Boulez has led the Orchestra in more than 220 concerts in Cleveland and on tour throughout the world. He was appointed the Orchestra’s first Principal guest Conductor in 1969 and served as Musical advisor for two seasons beginning shortly after Szell’s death in 1970. His recordings with the Orchestra won five grammy awards. With his natural charisma and extraordinary musical gifts, Pierre Boulez has exercised untold influence both here in Cleveland and throughout the world.

With The Cleveland Orchestra, Pierre Boulez was particularly renowned for his insightful, nuanced interpretations of music by 20th-century composers. This concert, led by Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, pays tribute to our friend and mentor.

as a composer, Pierre Boulez defined the image of the iconoclastic avant-garde in his music of the 1940s and 1950s. His compositions are paired here with music from the most influential opera of the 20th century, of which Boulez was an early champion. His landmark recording of the complete opera won a grammy in 1968. Truly devastating in its emotional impact, wozzeck tells the story of a soldier struggling with what we now recognize as post-traumatic stress disorder, but with devastating consequences.

WIGGlESWORTH Études-Tableaux [WORLD PReMIeRe - Cleveland Orchestra Commission]mAHlER Symphony No. 6 (“Tragic”)

“Not one of his works came as directly from his inmost heart as this,” Mahler’s wife, alma, wrote. Powerful and monumental, this is orchestral music at its most gripping and dramatic. Moments of tender beauty contrast bleak, utter despair. Its famous three-blow ending seems to be a premonition of three tragic events that took place in Mahler’s life. But despite his bleak pessimism, Mahler leaves us with the sensation that we are more alive than ever before.

JANÁČEK JealousyDVOŘÁK Violin ConcertomUSSORGSKy/RAVEl Pictures at an exhibition

Immersed in the musical traditions of his homeland, Dvořák’s Violin Concerto delights in spicy folk-like elements full of character, nimbleness, and lyrical drama. Concluding the program is a much-loved classic of the orchestral repertoire: Ravel’s opulent orchestration of Mussorgsky’s piano suite Pictures at an exhibition. Inspired by a posthumous exhibit of watercolors and drawings by the composer’s dear friend, Victor Hartmann, Mussorgsky’s enthusiastic and reverent homage to Hartmann is a series of musical depictions of the artist’s canvasses.

SIbElIUS Symphony No. 7SIbElIUS Violin ConcertoSCHOENbERG Pelleas and Melisande

Sibelius never achieved his childhood dream of becoming a virtuoso violinist, and while he went on to considerable success as a composer, this concerto is like a young man’s portrait of his first true love ... tempestuous, delicately beautiful, and hopelessly complicated. (Popular culture note: the Sibelius Violin Concerto is the most often recorded 20th-century concerto.)

“Alina Ibragimova is one of the most richly talented and expressive of violinists; in every performance, she instinctively finds the essence of the music and delivers it with a combination of grace and daring.” — The Guardian

FEb 13 — Friday at 8:00 p.m.

The Cleveland Orchestra Brett Mitchell, conductor

The collaboration between director alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann resulted in a series of unforgettable films — and Vertigo (1958), with its rich, seductive, and complex musical score, is perhaps the greatest achievement of this legendary partnership. Police detective John “Scottie” Ferguson (James Stewart) is afflicted with vertigo during a rooftop chase in the film’s opening scene, resulting in the death of a fellow officer. an old college chum hires Scottie as a private investigator to follow his wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak). Scottie becomes increasingly enamored of Madeleine, and observation turns to obsession, until deceitful truths are revealed with tragic consequences.

We might think of Brahms as a buttoned-up academic, but his music is filled with emotion … from bittersweet joy to exuberant happiness, from lighthearted humor to serious introspection. His two piano concertos stand as pillars of the piano repertoire, and these concerts feature the rare opportunity to hear them both presented in the same weekend, when Franz Welser-Möst and the Orchestra are joined by Yefim Bronfman, one of the most talented virtuoso pianists performing today.

One of Beethoven’s greatest and most admired symphonies — and one of his greatest financial successes — the Seventh has been popular since its first performances. a Viennese newspaper account said “the symphony brought forth applause which rose to the point of ecstasy.” It is still loved today for its energy and beauty, and its lilting dance rhythms are some of Beethoven’s most delightful moments. (Popular culture note: the second movement of this symphony brings magic to the soundtrack of the movie The King’s Speech.)

SPRING SEASON

2015

a Performance installation with The Cleveland Orchestra

The Cleveland OrchestraFranz Welser-Möst, conductorYuval Sharon, directorRegine Hangler, soprano (Daphne)andreas Schager, tenor (apollo)Norbert Ernst, tenor (Leukippos)ain anger, bass (Peneios)Nancy Maultsby, mezzo-soprano (Gaea)Men of the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus STRAUSS Daphne (Opera in One act)

(Sung in German with English supertitles)

MAY 27 — Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. MAY 30 — Saturday at 8:00 p.m.

For the first time, The Cleveland Orchestra presents Strauss’s captivating opera about the enchanting nymph who must choose between the love of men and her freedom. Composed during the politically perilous period after the Nazis came to power, Daphne had deep personal significance to the composer. Strauss was well aware that the myth of Daphne was the subject of the very first opera ever composed; his own version can be seen as a guarded demand for the integrity and continuity of creativity in the face of political and worldly hindrances.
