Book Synopsis A Portrait in Four Movements by : Andrew Patner
Download or read book A Portrait in Four Movements written by Andrew Patner and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Playing in an orchestra in an intelligent way is the best school for democracy.”—Daniel Barenboim The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has been led by a storied group of conductors. And from 1994 to 2015, through the best work of Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Bernard Haitink, and Riccardo Muti, Andrew Patner was right there. As a classical music critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and WFMT radio, Patner was able to trace the arc of the CSO’s changing repertories, all while cultivating a deep rapport with its four principal conductors. This book assembles Patner’s reviews of the concerts given by the CSO during this time, as well as transcripts of his remarkable radio interviews with these colossal figures. These pages hold tidbits for the curious, such as Patner’s “driving survey” that playfully ranks the Maestri he knew on a scale of “total comfort” to “fright level five,” and the observation that Muti appears to be a southpaw on the baseball field. Moving easily between registers, they also open revealing windows onto the sometimes difficult pasts that brought these conductors to music in the first place, including Boulez’s and Haitink’s heartbreaking experiences of Nazi occupation in their native countries as children. Throughout, these reviews and interviews are threaded together with insights about the power of music and the techniques behind it—from the conductors’ varied approaches to research, preparing scores, and interacting with other musicians, to how the sound and personality of the orchestra evolved over time, to the ways that we can all learn to listen better and hear more in the music we love. Featuring a foreword by fellow critic Alex Ross on the ethos and humor that informed Patner’s writing, as well as an introduction and extensive historical commentary by musicologist Douglas W. Shadle, this book offers a rich portrait of the musical life of Chicago through the eyes and ears of one of its most beloved critics.

Book Synopsis Welcome to the Symphony by : Carolyn Sloan
Download or read book Welcome to the Symphony written by Carolyn Sloan and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using one of the most famous works in classical music—Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony—here is the perfect way to introduce a young child to the world of classical music. This charming and interactive picture book with its panel of 19 sound buttons is like a ticket to a concert hall, taking readers on a journey from the exciting first moment when the musicians begin tuning up to the end of the first movement (attention newcomers: don’t clap yet!). At each step of the way, readers learn the basics of classical music and the orchestra: What is a conductor? What is a symphony? Who was Beethoven? The different aspects of music: melody, harmony, tempo, theme. And the families of instruments—strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. But the best part is that every critical idea is illustrated in gorgeous sound. The sound panel allows readers to hear the different parts of the symphony and voices of the music—the famous beginning of the Fifth, what a clarinet sounds like, the difference between a violin and a viola, what a melody is, and what harmony is. Kids will want to match their voices to the A note that tunes the orchestra, dance to the rhythmic passages—and, of course, sing along to da-da-da-daah!
Book Synopsis Evening at Symphony by : Janet Baker-Carr

Book excerpt: "Each week during the concert season, the PBS series Evening at Symphony, produced by WGBH TV Boston, brings the music of a great symphony orchestra to thousands of homes across the country. The Boston Symphony Orchestra, which performs these programs, epitomizes the fascination and the achievement of a remarkable musical institution. Since its inception in 1881 under the auspices of Major Henry Lee Higginson, the orchestra has reached out through recordings and television to an ever-growing national and international audience. The artistic aim remains what it has always been--the making of music. All symphony orchestras represent both a cultural investment and big business. Typically, more than 100 people play in the Orchestra year-round and their activities cover a wide spectrum of musical events--regular program series in Symphony Hall, the springtime Pops and summer Tanglewood concerts, concert tours, recording sessions, special chamber music concerts, and the filming and producing of Evening at Symphony. This handsomely illustrated volume takes the reader backstage at the BSO to discover for himself the history of the institution, the famous conductors, the musicians, the interaction of audience and performers, the special lore of this highly gifted group of people--in short, all the elements that are essential to the life of a major performing orchestra." --Dust jacket flap.

Download or read book Seiji written by Caroline Smedvig and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 1998 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seiji Ozawa will mark his twenty-fifth anniversary with the Boston Symphony during the 1998-99 season, making him the longest-tenured music director in the distinguished orchestra's 117-year history. This collection of striking photographs and personal tributes celebrates the charisma and career of a remarkable musician. Lincoln Russell captures the experience of watching Ozawa at work, which John Williams has called "beyond fathoming; he has the best hands and body for conducting in this business". The photographs feature many of the artists who have appeared with Ozawa, from Mstislav Rostropovich to Jessye Norman, but they perhaps best capture the man himself, who reveals great intensity on and off the stage. An introduction by a renowned music critic and essays by Andre Previn, Yo-Yo Ma, and others bring this unique portrait to life.Born in Shenyang, China, in 1935, Seiji Ozawa began his association with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the Tanglewood Music Center in 1960. He held music directorships at the Chicago Symphony's Ravinia Festival, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and the San Francisco Symphony before being appointed music director of the Boston Symphony in 1973 at the age of thirty-eight. Under his leadership he has built upon the BSO's worldwide reputation and strengthened its commitment to new music.
