Biography<br />

Three decades ago, a group <strong>of</strong> inquisitive<br />

London musicians took a long hard look <strong>at</strong><br />

th<strong>at</strong> curious institution we call <strong>the</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong>,<br />

and decided to start again from scr<strong>at</strong>ch.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y began by throwing out <strong>the</strong> rulebook.<br />

Put a single conductor in charge? No way.<br />

Specialise in repertoire <strong>of</strong> a particular<br />

era? Too restricting. Perfect a work and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n move on? Too lazy. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Age</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Enlightenment</strong> was born.<br />

And as this distinctive ensemble<br />

playing on period-specific instruments<br />

began to get a foothold, it made a promise<br />

to itself. It vowed to keep questioning,<br />

adapting and inventing as long as it lived.<br />

Those original instruments became just<br />

one element <strong>of</strong> its quest for au<strong>the</strong>nticity.<br />

Baroque and Classical music became just<br />

one strand <strong>of</strong> its repertoire. Every time<br />

<strong>the</strong> musical establishment thought it had<br />

a handle on wh<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> OAE was all about,<br />

<strong>the</strong> ensemble pulled out ano<strong>the</strong>r shocker:<br />

a Symphonie Fantastique here, some<br />

conductor-less Bach <strong>the</strong>re. All <strong>the</strong> while,<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong>’s players called <strong>the</strong> shots.<br />

At first it felt like a minor miracle.<br />

Ideas and talent were plentiful; money<br />

wasn’t. Somehow, <strong>the</strong> OAE survived to a<br />

4


year. <strong>The</strong>n to two. <strong>The</strong>n to five.<br />

making. Gre<strong>at</strong> performances<br />

It began to make benchmark<br />

now become recordings on <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> ensemble’s<br />

recordings and <strong>at</strong>tract <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Orchestra</strong>’s in-house CD label.<br />

finest conductors. It became musicians were<br />

<strong>The</strong> ensemble has<br />

<strong>the</strong> toast <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> European branded eccentric formed <strong>the</strong> bedrock for some<br />

touring circuit. It bagged<br />

idealists. And th<strong>at</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> Glyndebourne’s most<br />

distinguished residencies <strong>at</strong><br />

ground-breaking recent<br />

<strong>the</strong>y were determined<br />

<strong>the</strong> Southbank Centre and<br />

productions. It travels as much<br />

Glyndebourne Festival Opera.<br />

It began, before long, to thrive.<br />

to remain. In <strong>the</strong> face<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> music industry’s<br />

abroad as to <strong>the</strong> UK regions:<br />

New York and Amsterdam<br />

And <strong>the</strong>n came <strong>the</strong> real<br />

big guns, <strong>the</strong> OAE<br />

court it, Birmingham<br />

challenge. <strong>The</strong> ensemble’s<br />

and Bristol cherish it.<br />

musicians were branded<br />

kept its head.<br />

Remarkable people are<br />

eccentric idealists. And th<strong>at</strong><br />

behind it. Simon R<strong>at</strong>tle, <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>y were determined to<br />

young conductor in whom <strong>the</strong><br />

remain. In <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> music industry’s<br />

big guns, <strong>the</strong> OAE kept its head. It got<br />

organised but remained experimentalist. It<br />

sustained its founding drive but welcomed<br />

new talent. It kept on exploring performance<br />

OAE placed so much <strong>of</strong> its initial trust, still<br />

cleaves to <strong>the</strong> ensemble. Iván Fischer, <strong>the</strong><br />

visionary who punted some <strong>of</strong> his most<br />

individual musical ideas on <strong>the</strong> young<br />

orchestra, continues to challenge it. Mark<br />

form<strong>at</strong>s, rehearsal approaches and Elder still mines for luminosity, shade<br />

musical techniques. It searched for and line. Vladimir Jurowski, <strong>the</strong> podium<br />

<strong>the</strong> right repertoire, instruments and<br />

approaches <strong>with</strong> even gre<strong>at</strong>er resolve.<br />

technician <strong>with</strong> an ins<strong>at</strong>iable appetite<br />

for cre<strong>at</strong>ive renewal, has drawn from<br />

It kept true to its founding vow. it some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most revel<strong>at</strong>ory noises<br />

In some small way, <strong>the</strong> OAE changed<br />

<strong>the</strong> classical music world too. It challenged<br />

<strong>of</strong> recent years. And, most recently, it’s<br />

been a labor<strong>at</strong>ory for John Butt’s most<br />

those distinguished partner organis<strong>at</strong>ions exciting Bach experiments. All five<br />

and brought <strong>the</strong> very best from <strong>the</strong>m,<br />

too. Symphony and opera orchestras<br />

began to ask it for advice. Existing period<br />

instrument groups started to vary <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

conductors and repertoire. New ones<br />

popped up all over Europe and America.<br />

And so <strong>the</strong> story continues, <strong>with</strong> ever<br />

more momentum and vision. <strong>The</strong> OAE’s<br />

series <strong>of</strong> nocturnal Night Shift performance<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m share <strong>the</strong> title Principal Artist.<br />

Of <strong>the</strong> instrumentalists, many remain<br />

from those brave first days; many have<br />

come since. All seem as eager and hungry<br />

as ever. <strong>The</strong>y’re <strong>of</strong>fered ever gre<strong>at</strong>er<br />

respect, but continue only to question<br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves. Because still, <strong>the</strong>y pride<br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves on sitting ever so slightly<br />

outside <strong>the</strong> box. <strong>The</strong>y wouldn’t want it any<br />

have redefined concert parameters. Its new<br />

home <strong>at</strong> London’s Kings Place has fostered<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r diversity <strong>of</strong> planning and music-<br />

Program Notes<br />

Ludwig<br />

van Beethoven (1770-1827)<br />

Symphony No.4 in B-fl<strong>at</strong> Major, Op.60<br />

I Adagio <strong>–</strong> Allegro vivace<br />

II Adagio<br />

III Allegro vivace<br />

IV Allegro ma non troppo<br />

Much <strong>of</strong> Beethoven’s music sounds every bit<br />

as revolutionary as <strong>the</strong> time in which it was<br />

written. In <strong>the</strong> first years <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nineteenth<br />

century, new social impulses were surging<br />

through Europe in <strong>the</strong> afterm<strong>at</strong>h <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

French Revolution. In <strong>the</strong>se turbulent times,<br />

<strong>the</strong> first fully freelance composer <strong>of</strong> note was<br />

wresting musical expression from <strong>the</strong> grip <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> aristocracy.<br />

Two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most iconic manifest<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

<strong>of</strong> Beethoven’s struggle are his Third and<br />

Fifth Symphonies. One heroic, one tragic,<br />

both deal in <strong>the</strong> big gestures th<strong>at</strong> aligned<br />

musical expression <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> upheavals <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

time. In between <strong>the</strong> two came a symphony<br />

th<strong>at</strong> sounded ra<strong>the</strong>r different. Beethoven<br />

Gustav Mahler, photo by<br />

actually wrote Adolph his E. Fourth Bieber-Kohut Symphony (1900) ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

side <strong>of</strong> work on his Fifth. <strong>The</strong> piece has<br />

been described variously as ‘delic<strong>at</strong>e’ and<br />

‘shrinking’. Perhaps it is best viewed not as a<br />

departure from <strong>the</strong> imper<strong>at</strong>ives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Third<br />

and Fifth, but as a c<strong>at</strong>ching <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bre<strong>at</strong>h in<br />

between <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

As in <strong>the</strong> Violin Concerto heard l<strong>at</strong>er<br />

tonight, it’s easy to miss <strong>the</strong> progressive<br />

characteristics in a piece th<strong>at</strong> doesn’t<br />

stampede or rail like its neighbours. In<br />

this symphony, Beethoven maintains <strong>the</strong><br />

elements <strong>of</strong> surprise, shock and suspense<br />

<strong>with</strong> which he had ensured audiences <strong>at</strong><br />

his concerts would sit up and listen. But<br />

here, <strong>the</strong>y’re more guarded and obscured.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> Beethoven expert Barry Cooper has<br />

observed, this symphony shows a far gre<strong>at</strong>er<br />

10


degree <strong>of</strong> integr<strong>at</strong>ion between sections. It<br />

blurs its boundaries more.<br />

We hear th<strong>at</strong> happening in <strong>the</strong> symphony’s<br />

opening movement. After a slow introduction<br />

full <strong>of</strong> suspense, <strong>the</strong> Allegro vivace seems<br />

to collapse into life. A steady stream <strong>of</strong><br />

boisterous music follows until <strong>the</strong> movement<br />

loses power and we hear ominous rumblings<br />

from <strong>the</strong> tuned drums <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> back <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

orchestra, <strong>the</strong> timpani.<br />

This is an unusual gesture from<br />

Beethoven. Firstly because it’s a drum ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

than a melody instrument which proceeds to<br />

herald <strong>the</strong> return <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> opening music, <strong>with</strong><br />

a 23-bar timpani rumble on <strong>the</strong> keynote, B<br />

fl<strong>at</strong>. Secondly, because Beethoven cre<strong>at</strong>es<br />

a curiously stabilizing mixture <strong>of</strong> rootedness<br />

and expect<strong>at</strong>ion in th<strong>at</strong> timpani roll, an idea<br />

he would take fur<strong>the</strong>r in <strong>the</strong> Violin Concerto.<br />

<strong>The</strong> timpani come to <strong>the</strong> fore again in<br />

Beethoven’s Adagio. We hear a graceful song<br />

over a puls<strong>at</strong>ing accompaniment, both on<br />

strings to begin <strong>with</strong>. Not really music for<br />

drums, you might think. But Beethoven’s<br />

timpani creep into <strong>the</strong> discourse once more,<br />

taking over th<strong>at</strong> th<strong>at</strong> accompaniment figure<br />

entirely in <strong>the</strong> movement’s closing bars.<br />

Traditionally, symphonic third movements<br />

referenced aristocr<strong>at</strong>ic dances, a Minuet<br />

altern<strong>at</strong>ing <strong>with</strong> a Trio in three-time. As in his<br />

First Symphony, <strong>the</strong> republican Beethoven<br />

subverts his dances, obliter<strong>at</strong>ing <strong>the</strong>m<br />

physically and aes<strong>the</strong>tically <strong>with</strong> crossrhythms<br />

and syncop<strong>at</strong>ions. Point made.<br />

All <strong>the</strong> musical <strong>the</strong>mes presented so<br />

far are heard again in Beethoven’s final<br />

movement. But <strong>the</strong>re are games in store<br />

here too. After a lone bassoon introduces<br />

a breakneck <strong>the</strong>me, <strong>the</strong> orchestra charges<br />

forwards before appearing to completely<br />

lose power again, twice. <strong>The</strong> second time,<br />

<strong>the</strong> music stops completely. First violins play<br />

<strong>the</strong> same <strong>the</strong>me quietly and <strong>at</strong> half speed,<br />

<strong>the</strong> bassoon follows hesitantly, and suddenly<br />

<strong>the</strong> full orchestra lunges in again to bring <strong>the</strong><br />

symphony to its close.<br />

Some claim <strong>the</strong> Fourth Symphony sounds<br />

different because it’s concerned more<br />

<strong>with</strong> musical arguments than <strong>with</strong> social<br />

or philosophical ones. Th<strong>at</strong> final movement<br />

adds weight to <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ory. Beethoven wrote<br />

<strong>the</strong> symphony quickly in <strong>the</strong> summer <strong>of</strong><br />

1806, rocked by poor performances <strong>of</strong> his<br />

opera Fidelio and deeply worried by his<br />

bro<strong>the</strong>r Carl’s ill-advised decision to marry.<br />

If Beethoven had sought to escape in ‘pure<br />

music’, <strong>the</strong> result suggests it was a fruitful<br />

and happy place to be.<br />

Ludwig<br />

van Beethoven (1770-1827)<br />

Violin Concerto in D Major, Op.61<br />

I Allegro ma non troppo<br />

II Larghetto <strong>–</strong><br />

III Rondo: Allegro<br />

Yet ano<strong>the</strong>r piece was brewing inside<br />

Beethoven in 1806, one th<strong>at</strong> also prompts<br />

thoughts <strong>of</strong> an emotional escape. In <strong>the</strong> very<br />

same notebooks as he was sketching <strong>the</strong><br />

Fifth Symphony, Beethoven was playing <strong>with</strong><br />

ideas for a work th<strong>at</strong> would share some <strong>of</strong><br />

its characteristics but would sound entirely<br />

different once more. It was a Violin Concerto<br />

11


Program Notes<br />

in <strong>the</strong> sunny key <strong>of</strong> D Major, <strong>the</strong> brightest<br />

and most contented orchestral work <strong>the</strong><br />

composer would write.<br />

<strong>The</strong> concerto was commissioned by<br />

Franz Clement, leader <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>The</strong><strong>at</strong>re an der<br />

Wien’s orchestra, which had introduced <strong>the</strong><br />

composer’s Third Symphony <strong>the</strong> year before.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re wasn’t a gre<strong>at</strong> deal <strong>of</strong> time separ<strong>at</strong>ing<br />

Beethoven’s finishing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> piece in mid-<br />

December 1806 and Clement’s booking to<br />

perform it on 23 <strong>of</strong> th<strong>at</strong> month. Ei<strong>the</strong>r way,<br />

<strong>the</strong> first performance was a notorious fiasco<br />

in which Clement resorted to showmanship<br />

in an <strong>at</strong>tempt to maintain <strong>the</strong> audience’s<br />

<strong>at</strong>tention. It took <strong>the</strong> more committed<br />

partnership <strong>of</strong> violinist Joseph Joachim and<br />

conductor Felix Mendelssohn to rescue <strong>the</strong><br />

concerto from obscurity, in London, almost<br />

forty years l<strong>at</strong>er.<br />

<strong>The</strong> demands placed on both Clement<br />

and Joachim were sizeable. Despite it’s<br />

cheerful n<strong>at</strong>ure, Beethoven’s concerto is a<br />

tricky customer. It is also a piece from which<br />

many <strong>of</strong> our modern notions <strong>of</strong> virtuosity<br />

stem. Beethoven was insistent th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> role<br />

<strong>of</strong> music in society be changed, an ideal he<br />

reflected musically as well as physically in<br />

his five piano concertos. <strong>The</strong> Violin Concerto<br />

may be genial and tender, but its solo line is<br />

a triumphant endorsement <strong>of</strong> individual will,<br />

spirit and integrity th<strong>at</strong> almost all subsequent<br />

concertos for <strong>the</strong> violin have built on.<br />

Once again, we experience a determined<br />

but quiet revolution in this piece. And once<br />

again, <strong>the</strong> timpani are to <strong>the</strong> fore. Five<br />

rooted but underst<strong>at</strong>ed drumbe<strong>at</strong>s secure<br />

<strong>the</strong> concerto’s found<strong>at</strong>ions and are followed<br />

by a <strong>the</strong>me th<strong>at</strong> does much <strong>the</strong> same via<br />

a combin<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> grandeur and economy.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> solo violin enters soon afterwards,<br />

it does so on <strong>the</strong> sharpened pitch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

keynote D, <strong>with</strong> Beethoven asking th<strong>at</strong> it be<br />

played ‘sweetly’.<br />

This was an unorthodox way to begin<br />

a concerto (which might well have put <strong>the</strong><br />

frighteners on Clement) but one th<strong>at</strong> gave<br />

<strong>the</strong> piece its distinctively genial footing.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se first pages establish <strong>the</strong> work’s tonal<br />

and rhythmic centres <strong>of</strong> gravity despite <strong>–</strong> or<br />

perhaps because <strong>of</strong> <strong>–</strong> th<strong>at</strong> semitone diversion.<br />

Listen out for <strong>the</strong> return <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> drumbe<strong>at</strong>s, <strong>at</strong><br />

pivotal moments, as <strong>the</strong> concerto proceeds<br />

(sometimes <strong>the</strong>y are reimagined by <strong>the</strong><br />

orchestra itself).<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r vital example <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> concerto’s<br />

unusual disposition comes in <strong>the</strong> middle<br />

movement, marked Larghetto (‘fairly<br />

slow’). Here <strong>the</strong> violin <strong>presents</strong> vari<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

on a contempl<strong>at</strong>ive <strong>the</strong>me over a muted<br />

accompaniment th<strong>at</strong> includes touching<br />

pizzic<strong>at</strong>os (plucked strings). In Beethovenian<br />

terms, this is music <strong>of</strong> compar<strong>at</strong>ively little<br />

action. But it rises to poignant climaxes<br />

before <strong>the</strong> strings hurl <strong>the</strong> music back into<br />

<strong>the</strong> home key <strong>with</strong> a sudden fortissimo (‘very<br />

loud’) outburst.<br />

<strong>The</strong> soloist’s cadenza <strong>–</strong> an improvised<br />

flourish <strong>–</strong> <strong>the</strong>n plonks <strong>the</strong> orchestra onto<br />

<strong>the</strong> rails <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> playful final movement, which<br />

employs a <strong>the</strong>me Beethoven doesn’t once<br />

feel <strong>the</strong> need to alter. <strong>The</strong> music charges<br />

along until it veers into a quiet diversion, and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n into ano<strong>the</strong>r strange key (A fl<strong>at</strong>), before<br />

halting conclusively once and for all.<br />

Presenting <strong>the</strong> world’s finest classical artists since 1919<br />

“I think too <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

people think <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

arts as decor<strong>at</strong>ion to<br />

<strong>the</strong> experiences <strong>of</strong> life,<br />

sort <strong>of</strong> a frosting on<br />

<strong>the</strong> cake. But to me,<br />

<strong>the</strong> arts are essential<br />

to understanding <strong>the</strong><br />

problems <strong>of</strong> life, and to<br />

helping us get through<br />

<strong>the</strong> experiences <strong>of</strong> life<br />

<strong>with</strong> intelligent understanding<br />

and grace.”<br />

<strong>CAMA</strong> Friend<br />
