The Russian National Orchestra was founded by Mikhail Pletnev in 1990 as a courageous demonstration of artistic freedom during the Soviet regime and has risen to the pinnacle of the classical music world; it was selected recently as one of the world’s top orchestras by a panel of international critics. The RNO will perform a special all-Rachmaninoff program celebrating the 100th Anniversary of his arrival in America in 1918, when he took up permanent US residence for the rest of his life (and performed twice for CAMA at the Lobero in 1929 and 1941). The all-Rachmaninoff program will include his ever-popular Second Piano Concerto featuring Tchaikovsky Competition silver medalist George Li.
ALL-RACHMANINOFF PROGRAM:
Vocalise, Op.34, No.14

RUSSIAN NATIONAL
ORCHESTRA
The Russian National Orchestra
was founded in 1990 by
pianist and conductor Mikhail Pletnev. Of
its debut at the BBC Proms in London,
the Evening Standard wrote, “They played
with such captivating beauty that the audience
gave an involuntary sigh of pleasure.”
The RNO has been described as “a
living symbol of the best in Russian art”
(Miami Herald) and “as close to perfect as
one could hope for” (Trinity Mirror).
Maintaining an active international
schedule, the RNO appears in the music
capitals of Europe, Asia and the Americas,
is a frequent guest at festivals such
as Edinburgh, the BBC Proms and Festival
Napa Valley, and presents the RNO
Grand Festival each September to open
the Moscow season.
RNO concerts are often aired on National
Public Radio, the European Broadcasting
Union, and Russia’s Kultura
8 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION
channel. Their discography, launched
with a highly praised 1991 recording of
Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique, now numbers
more than 80 critically acclaimed recordings.
Notable releases include the complete
Beethoven symphonies and piano
concertos on Deutsche Grammophon,
Tchaikovsky’s six symphonies for Pentatone,
and the RNO Shostakovich project,
also on Pentatone, cited as “the most exciting
cycle of the Shostakovich symphonies
to be put down on disc, and easily the
best recorded” (SACD.net).
Their recording of Prokofiev’s Peter
and the Wolf and Beintus’ Wolf Tracks,
conducted by Kent Nagano and narrated
by Sophia Loren, Bill Clinton and Mikhail
Gorbachev, received a 2004 Grammy
Award, making the RNO the first Russian
orchestra to win the recording industry’s
highest honor. Their recording of Shostakovich
Symphony No.7, conducted by
Paavo Järvi, was awarded the Diapason
d’Or de l’Année 2015 as the year’s best
symphonic album, and was nominated for
a 2016 Grammy Award.
The RNO is unique among the principal
Russian ensembles as a private
institution funded with the support of
individuals, corporations and foundations
in Russia and throughout the world.
MIKHAIL
PLETNEV
Founder and Artistic Director
Mikhail Pletnev’s genius as pianist,
conductor and composer enchants and
amazes audiences around the globe. He
was Gold Medal and First Prize winner of
the 1978 Tchaikovsky International Piano
Competition when he was 21, a prize
that earned him early recognition worldwide.
An invitation to perform at the 1988
superpower summit in Washington led to

a friendship with Mikhail Gorbachev and
the historic opportunity to make music in
artistic freedom.
In 1990 Pletnev formed the first independent
orchestra in Russia’s history.
Many of the country’s finest musicians
joined Pletnev in launching the Russian
National Orchestra. Under his leadership,
the RNO achieved in a few short years a
towering stature among the world’s orchestras.
Pletnev describes the RNO as
his greatest joy and continues to serve
as its Artistic Director and Principal
Conductor.
Pletnev’s performances and recordings
have proved him to be an outstanding
interpreter of an extensive repertoire,
both as pianist and conductor. His recordings
have earned numerous prizes
including a 2005 Grammy Award for his
own arrangement of Prokofiev’s Cinderella.
He received Grammy nominations
for Schumann's Symphonic Etudes (2004)
and Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev Piano
Concertos No.3 (2003). His album of
Scarlatti’s Sonatas (Virgin/EMI) received
a 1996 Gramophone Award. BBC Music
Magazine called the recording “piano
playing at its greatest... this performance
alone would be enough to secure Pletnev
a place among the greatest pianists
ever known.” His recording of the complete
Beethoven symphonies and piano
concertos (Deutsche Grammophon) was
named “Best of 2007” by The New Yorker.
Pletnev’s compositions include works
for orchestra, piano, strings and voices.
His transcriptions of Nutcracker
Suite and Sleeping Beauty were selected
for the 1998 anthology “Great Pianists of
the 20th Century” (Philips Classics).
Today he is one of Russia’s most respected
and influential artists. Pianist,
conductor, composer and cultural leader—all
are significant facets of Mikhail
Pletnev’s life as an artist. Yet he considers
himself, simply, a musician.
GEORGE LI pianist
Since winning the Silver Medal at the
2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition,
pianist George Li has rapidly established
a major international reputation and
performs regularly with some of the world’s
leading orchestras and conductors.
In the 2018-19 season, Li makes his
debuts with the London Philharmonic,
Montreal Symphony, Tokyo Symphony,
10 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION

and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic; embarks
on an 11-city recital tour of China;
and tours the United States with the
Russian National Orchestra and Mikhail
Pletnev and Kirill Karabits.
Concerto highlights include performances
with the New York Philharmonic,
San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles
Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra,
Rotterdam Philharmonic, DSO Berlin,
Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Oslo Philharmonic,
Orchestre National de Lyon, Sydney
Symphony, and St. Petersburg Philharmonic.
He frequently appears with Valery
Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra.
In recital, Li performs at venues including
Carnegie Hall, Davies Hall in San
Francisco, the Mariinsky Theatre, Munich’s
Gasteig, the Louvre, Seoul Arts
Center, Tokyo’s Asahi Hall and Musashino
Hall, NCPA Beijing, Shanghai Poly Theater,
and Amici della Musica Firenze, as
well as appearances at major festivals including
the Edinburgh International Festival,
Ravinia Festival, Aix-en-Provence
Festival, and Montreux Festival.
Li is an exclusive Warner Classics
recording artist, with his debut recital
album released in October 2017, which
was recorded live from the Mariinsky. n

SERGEI
RACHMANINOFF
Notes on the Program by Howard Posner
Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise was the last of
the 14 Romances for voice and piano
that he published in 1915. A vocalise is a
song, or singing exercise, without words
(in Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise the singer
could just choose a vowel). He dedicated
to Antonina Nezhdanova, a leading
soprano in the Bolshoi Opera. She had
withdrawn from the leading role in Rachmaninoff’s
1905 opera Francesca da Rimini,
but Rachmaninoff was never one
to hold a grudge. He orchestrated the
piano part shortly after he and he and
Nezhdanova performed the premiere, and
a version for orchestra without a singer
soon followed. Its popularity has led to
countless versions for virtually every instrument.
Youtube now has ten versions
performed on theremin.
His second piano concerto marked
a sort of return to the living for Rachmaninoff.
The 1897 St. Petersburg premiere
of his first symphony had been a
disaster. The composer/critic Cesar Cui
likened it to a program symphony about
the Ten Plagues composed by a talented
12 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION
student in the “conservatory in hell.”
Rachmaninoff could, and did, blame
it on a bad performance, as did many
observers, but his letters also show that
he had doubts about the quality of the
symphony, which was not performed
again until nearly a half century later,
after his death. Its failure sent him into
a four-year productive drought that has
been called “depression” or “collapse,”
but in fact he was perfectly functional,
able to perform and conduct, and enjoy
the company of friends. He took a post
as conductor of the Moscow Private
Russian Opera Company in 1897 and
made his international debut in London
in 1899. But he had a crippling crisis of
confidence in himself as a composer,
and was able to compose only two piano
pieces and four songs between 1897
and 1901.
By chance, Rachmaninoff’s aunt had
been suffering from a nervous condition,
and had been helped by a hypnotherapist
named Nicolai Dahl. Every day from
January to April 1900, Rachmaninoff
had sessions with Dahl, which consisted
largely of Dahl’s telling him he was going
to compose with facility and create
a great concerto. Whether because of
Dahl, or because he was bound to climb
out of the hole sooner or later, Rachmaninoff
began composing in earnest
that summer, and found that the melodic
ideas were flowing abundantly enough
that he could work on the concerto and
a suite for two pianos at the same time.
He finished the concerto in April 1901,
and dedicated it to Dahl. It has been a hit
for more than century because it is collection
of good tunes, but it also synthesizes
concerto conventions, particularly
the de rigeur displays of virtuosity, into
a unified whole than concertos typically
tend to be.
All three movements begin in the
“wrong” key. The piano begins the first
movement, alone, in F Minor, emphasized
by a persistent low F, but the opening
turns out to be a modulation to C Minor.
The piano’s cascades of notes that
follow are impressive, but they are an
integral accompaniment that provides
harmony and rhythmic propulsion for
the very Russian-sounding first theme,
orchestrated in a very Russian way with
throaty-sounding strings. It sets a pattern
for the concerto: lots of flowing,
CAMA AT THE GRANADA THEATRE - RUSSIAN NATIONAL ORCHESTRA
13
long-lined melodies, and a solo part that
spends a remarkable portion of the concerto
as an accompanist, even if the accompaniments
are impressive cascades
of notes.
The slow movement’s opening is the
flip side of the first movement’s, with the
orchestra beginning in C Minor and arriving
improbably in E Major after four measures,
at which point the piano comes in
with an arpeggiated figure that seems to
be an accompaniment for a melody in the
clarinet. It’s not quite that simple, as the
“melody” and “accompaniment” figures
change roles as they are redistributed
between orchestra and piano during the
movement: this is one of the reasons the
concerto takes on the feel of chamber
music at times. The middle movement’s
texture is light and transparent, with the
strings muted throughout.
The finale brings the wrong-key
opening progression full circle, starting
in E Major and arriving eventually
in C Minor for the first theme, a scampering,
flighty thing that will leave little
impression on the ear because the
second subject, one of Rachmaninoff’s
most famous long-lined big tunes, will
be what you remember.
Rachmaninoff went through dry
spells of a different sort after he left Russia
in the wake of the 1917 Revolution.
He had invested nearly all his money in
an estate near Tambov, about midway
between Moscow and Volgograd, which
left him and his family nearly broke
when they left Russia in 1918. Rachmaninoff
spent much of the rest of his
career on tour, performing and recording,
and practicing new repertoire when
he got a break. It allowed him to live like
a wealthy man if a transient one, but left
him with little time, and little inclination,
to compose.
“Perhaps the incessant practice
and eternal rush inseparable from life
as a concert artist takes too much toll
of my strength; perhaps I feel that the
kind of music I care to write is not acceptable
today,” he once wrote. “For
when I left Russia, I left behind me the
desire to compose: losing my country I
lost myself also. To the exile whose musical
roots, traditions, and background
have been annihilated, there remains
no desire for self-expression.” He never
returned to the Soviet Union (though he
14 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION
made plans to visit in 1921), and publicly
disapproved of its policies toward
the arts, but he never entirely turned his
back on it. In his last years, after the Axis
invasion of Russia, he performed benefit
concerts for the Russian people and the
Red Army.
Rachmaninoff composed only six
original works after 1918, the last of
which was the Symphonic Dances in the
summer of 1940. It must have been a
difficult few months. He was staying at
a Long Island estate overlooking Northport
Bay, while recuperating from surgery.
In June, France fell to the German
army, which concerned Rachmaninoff
because his daughter lived there. Nonetheless
he made quick progress on a
very ambitious large-scale work. On August
21 he wrote to Eugene Ormandy, the
Philadelphia Orchestra music director,
that the work was “finished,” which did
not actually mean finished. “I shall now
begin the orchestration. Unfortunately
my concert tour begins on 14 October. I
have a great deal of practice to do and
I don’t know whether I shall be able to
finish the orchestration before November.”
Ormandy, who had scheduled the premiere
for January and needed the score
by December, could not have been
thrilled to hear this. In the event, the premiere
took place as planned.
Rachmaninoff originally thought to
title the work “Fantastic Dances” and
give the movements descriptive titles:
“Noon,” “Twilight” and “Midnight,” according
to one source, or “Morning,”
“Noon” and “Evening,” according to another.
The titles would have conveyed
nothing worthwhile to the listener, which
is doubtless why he never used them.
Although large stretches of the music
don’t seem danceable in the sense
that, say, Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances invariably
are, Rachmaninoff saw the music
as potential ballet material. Mikhail
Fokine, who had choreographed the original
Paris productions of Les Sylphides,
Petrushka and Firebird, and more recently
formed a ballet company in New York,
was interested in staging it, but died in
1942 before anything came of the idea.
The Symphonic Dances begin boldly,
with a primitive, elemental brawniness
that can distract from the extraordinarily
detailed orchestration that
achieves a bright clarity and great variety.
CAMA AT THE GRANADA THEATRE - RUSSIAN NATIONAL ORCHESTRA
15
Rarely, for example, has the bass clarinet
heard to such advantage. The clarity and
color become more apparent in the first
movement’s slower, lyrical mid-section,
the first half of which is soulful chamber
music for the woodwinds, each contributing
a distinctive voice while the alto
saxophone sings a melancholy song. The
music of the first section returns after an
elaborate transition, and then relaxes into
a gentle finish. As it does so, a second or
two after the glockenspiel makes it only
appearance, the strings quote the motto
theme from the First Symphony, which,
significantly, shares its first four notes
with the Gregorian Dies irae chant. Rachmaninoff
could scarcely have imagined
that the symphony would ever see the
light of day again, so the reference must
have been strictly for himself.
The second movement begins as a
disagreement, with most of the orchestra
trying to start a waltz over the objections
of the brass. The waltz that eventually
asserts is a nervous one, with occasional
tempo and meter changes, and the occasional
interruption from the brass.
In the last movement, the Dies irae
makes an actual appearance in the brass,
beginning with four-note hints and eventually
building up to quotations of its first
seven notes, which is enough for a positive
I.D. It’s not clear why Rachmaninoff,
who was raised in the Russian Orthodox
Church and never went to church anyway,
was so enamored of the chant from
the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass about
judgment day; he likely absorbed it from
Berlioz and Liszt. It makes prominent appearances
in his Rhapsody on a Theme
of Paganini, The Isle of the Dead, and Third
Symphony, and less prominent appearances
in other Rachmaninoff works. An even
more prominent quote in the third movement
is from the ninth movement of his All
Night Vigil, a 1915 Orthodox liturgical work
for chorus. He lifted much of the last part
of the movement, in which Christ’s empty
tomb is discovered, to much rejoicing by
the angels. Rachmaninoff even wrote “Alliluya”
into the score at the point where the
trumpets play the Alliluya music from the
All Night Vigil. It leads immediately into the
coda, an unangelic bacchanale of about
20 seconds’ length. n

MASTERSERIES AT THE LOBERO THEATRE
SEASON SPONSORSHIP: ESPERIA FOUNDATION
Tales of Two Cities
The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House
Conceived, programmed, and scripted by Alison Mackay
Saturday, March 9 | Lobero Theatre, 8:00 PM
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra with Trio Arabica
Elisa Citterio Director
It’s 1740, and coffee houses are the places to listen to music and share stories, in both the famous
trading center of Leipzig and one of the oldest cities in the world, Damascus. Anyone who has attended
one of Tafelmusik’s three previous multi-media concert projects at the Lobero in the past decade
can attest to the incredible originality and conception of their insightful musical stage creations that
combine live music, text and stunning projections transporting the audience back in time and place.
Not to be missed!
