 Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CAJanowski conducts Brahms and Schumann |
 |
 | ||
| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Saturday 18-May-13 08:00pm Janowski conducts Brahms and Schumann Two giants of the Romantic era grace the program. Schumann proudly called his overture “one of the strongest of my musical children.” His electrifying Fourth Symphony (it actually predated two of his others) was a birthday present to his young wife Clara. Brahms made the unusual concerto pairing of violin and cello partly to mend a break in his friendship with a virtuoso violinist. The instruments’ pronounced difference in sound resulted in a dramatic, Gypsy-flavored work. | ||

Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA Robertson leads Ravel and Gershwin |
|
| ||
| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Wednesday 22-May-13 08:00pm Robertson leads Ravel and Gershwin Ravel, who heard jazz in Harlem with Gershwin, was dumbfounded by the dazzling Rhapsody in Blue, which Gershwin played at a birthday party for the French composer. When Gershwin asked to study with him, Ravel said "It is better to write good Gershwin than bad Ravel." The jazz-influenced Concerto for the Left Hand was written for a pianist grievously injured during the First World War. The dark undertones of La Valse, an homage to Viennese waltz, suggest a furious farewell to gentility in post-war Europe. Elliott Carter's powerful Variations for Orchestra, another 20th-century masterwork, opens the program. | ||

|

| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Friday 21-Jun-13 06:30pm Stravinsky's Russian Roots The joyous Les Noces “depicts” a wedding the way an Altman film uses scraps of conversation to tell a tale, and boasts four pianists on stage. One hundred years ago, Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Stravinsky and Monteux—legends all—triggered the most scandalous evening in ballet history with the premiere of The Rite of Spring. The combination of Stravinsky’s revolutionary music and Nijinsky’s startlingly un-balletic choreography caused a riot. Now universally admired, the music has lost none of its freshness and power. | ||

| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Saturday 22-Jun-13 08:00pm Stravinsky's Russian Roots The joyous Les Noces “depicts” a wedding the way an Altman film uses scraps of conversation to tell a tale, and boasts four pianists on stage. One hundred years ago, Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Stravinsky and Monteux—legends all—triggered the most scandalous evening in ballet history with the premiere of The Rite of Spring. The combination of Stravinsky’s revolutionary music and Nijinsky’s startlingly un-balletic choreography caused a riot. Now universally admired, the music has lost none of its freshness and power. | ||
