1911 the Revolution

- Music Before and After

FOREWORD

100 years ago, the Xinhai Revolution began in Wuchang. It was followed by a series of changes in various aspects of life in China. What happened to music? In preparing for an outline of music in China a century ago, there were many hurdles to overcome. Firstly, related materials had not been kept in good order, and it was hard to find enough music recordings to make a representative broadcast. Fortunately, with the help of a number of experts and scholars, we are finally able to present to you a series of four programmes entitled 1911 - Music Before and After the Revolution (in Cantonese). Special thanks goes to members of the Cantacore Society who came in to our studio to record music which, up to that point, had only been available in print. To tie in with the centenary, we also bring to you the Hong Kongs world premiere of the Chinese orchestra version of Huang Ruos opera Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Going even further back in time, we note that 200 years ago, Franz Liszt was born (1811-1886). In terms of versatility, he was the superstar of his time: - He was a fabulous pianist who drew an exciting crowd everywhere he went. - He was a prolific composer, recordings of merely his piano works (for piano solo and piano and orchestra), takes up a massive space of almost 100 CDs and this doesnt even touch his symphonic output, art songs, organ works and oratorios. - He was a forerunner. He created the genre of the symphonic poem, and although he was not the first one to use thematic transformation technique, he perfected it. Interestingly, when he first explored atonality, Schoenberg (1874-1951) was still a kid! - He was an inspiring teacher. His students included big names such as Hans von Blow and Carl Tausig. - He was an influential music critic and writer whose works include a biography of Chopin. In the two-month series Liszt Superstar (in Cantonese), pianist and veteran arts administrator So Hau-leung brings you a range of different works by the great Hungarian master. To tie in with the bicentenary, Tuesdays Live on 4 will include works mostly written by Liszt. Finally, on the subject of anniversary, we invite you to tune in to Live on 4 on 7 Oct for the New York Philharmonics performance last month of Mahlers Resurrection Symphony to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 911.

For more than fifty years, the International Tchaikovsky Competition has been regarded as one of
the major events in the global music community, and as an outstanding opportunity for extraordinary young musicians to gain international recognition and establish their careers. In Russia, the event is considered one of the main competitions of the country. The International Tchaikovsky Competition is held once every four years. The first, in 1958, embraced two disciplines: piano and violin. In 1962, a cello category was added, and the vocal division (with separate prizes for men and women) was introduced at the third competition in 1966. Among the competition winners who have achieved worldwide recognition are pianists Vladimir Ashkenazy and Mikhail Pletnev; violinists Gidon Kremer and Victoria Mullova; cellists Antonio Meneses and Mario Brunello; and singers Evgeny Nesterenko and Elena Obraztsova. An unprecedented number of applicants from almost 50 countries for this years 14th International Tchaikovsky Competition was evidence of the re-birth of this prestigious international music event. The considerable number of worldwide applications received was a clear reflection of the 2011 re-launch under the new management of Valery Gergiev, Chairman of the Organising Committee, and Richard Rodzinski, General Director of the Competition. The competition saw applicants from New Zealand and Brazil, with non-European countries representing almost a third of applications. Asian countries comprised three out of the top five most popular countries - notably Japan, China and South Korea - the latter of which is the second most popular contributing country overall. Russia remained the strongest contributor, with the greatest number of overall candidates hailing from the competitions home country. In 2011, for the first time, the competition was presented simultaneously at halls in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Moscow hosted the piano and cello competitions, while St. Petersburg presented the violin and vocal competitions. The Winners Gala Concert was recorded on 2 July in the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg, with the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev. It will be broadcast on Radio 4 on 5 Oct (Part 1) and 12 Oct (Part 2) featuring:

The

Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HKPO) welcomes Moscow-born violinist Igor Yuzefovich, Baltimore Symphony Orchestras Assistant Concertmaster since 2005, as its new Concertmaster.

Igor Yuzefovich
\$N _

Born in a musical family, Yuzefovich began his violin study at the age of five. He emigrated to the US in 1991 and continued his musical training at the Preparatory Division of the Peabody Institute and continued on to the Peabody Conservatory, where he obtained his Bachelor of Music degree and Graduate Performance Diploma. Yuzefovich has won numerous competitions. His concerts have taken him from Carnegie Hall in New York to the Cairo Opera House in Egypt. He has also performed in Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Russia, France, Israel, Jordan, and South Africa. Yuzefovich is an active chamber musician. He is a member of the Russian Quartet and has led the group in winning the 1996 Fischoff International Chamber Music Competition. He is also a co-founder of the Monument Piano Trio in Baltimore. Yuzefovich will officially take up his post with HKPO from 1 January 2012, but will appear as Guest Concertmaster for six weeks from September to December.

his years Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Daniel Barenboim, led a peace concert with his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (WEDO) in Imjingak near Koreas Demilitarized Zone on South Koreas Independence Day, 15 August. During this tour in Seoul, the WEDO performed the Beethoven symphony cycle during its three-day concert, culminating in the magnificent Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Choral, at the Korean border. Four renowned Korean soloists were hand-picked by the 69year old Maestro: soprano Sumi Jo, mezzo-soprano Lee Ah-Kyung, tenor Park Ji-Min, and bass Maurice Hamm. Three Korean choirs also joined in the concert. Beethovens Symphony No.9, with its final movement Ode to Joy, was chosen to deliver a message of peace and humanity, hoping to encourage dialogue between the two Koreas, as Daniel Barenboim said in a video message prior to the concert. WEDO, composed of about 100 young musicians from Israel, Palestine, and other Arab countries, was co-founded in 1999 by Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said, the late Palestinian literary scholar. The orchestra has performed in areas struck by political divide such as Ramallah and Palestine, as well as in the Gaza strip with members of other prominent orchestras.

Sundays 2:00pm

The October listing for Sunday Opera consists of seven complete works, including a rare German comic opera
containing Gustav Mahlers unique contribution to operatic composition, and a special feature dedicated to the memory of an exceptionally gifted young tenor who passed away in September, aged 43.

2 October : Puccinis Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi

The idea of presenting three different one-act operas as a single evenings entertainment had been with Giacomo Puccini (18581924) for a number of years since the 1900s. It was not until a decade later that he was able to create three short pieces under the generic title Il Trittico (The Triptych). All three works were given their world premiere in December 1918 at the Metropolitan Opera New York.

9 October : Puccinis Il Tabarro and La Rondine

The dark melodramatic thriller Il Tabarro (The Cloak) was the first of the Il Trittco operas. Giorgetta, young wife of the barge-owner Michele, is in love with the young stevedore Luigi. They meet on the barge by the Seine at night, after Michele has retired to sleep. This night, Michele stays on the deck and he lights a pipe. Luigi mistakes the match-light as Giorgettas usual signal for him to appear. Michele throttles him and hides the body under his cloak. When his wife comes on to the deck, he opens his cloak and forces her face upon her lovers corpse. Our recording features baritone Carlo Guelfi as Michele, soprano Maria Guleghina as Giorgetta, and tenor Neil Shikoff as Luigi. Antonio Pappano conducts the London Voices and the London Symphony Orchestra.

Suor Angelica (Sister Angelica) is a mystical story about a woman spending a life of atonement in a convent for the sin of having had an illegitimate child. Upon being told about the death of her young son, she drinks a poison and prays. A vision of the Virgin and a child appears as her soul is received into heaven. The music is poignantly lyrical with an unmistakable Puccinian touch, movingly interpreted by soprano Victoria de los Angeles and mezzo-soprano Fedora Barbieri. The Rome Opera Chorus and Orchestra are conducted by Tullio Serafin. Gianni Schicchi is the story of the sharp-witted character who is helping a group of disinherited mourners to recover their share of deceased relatives fortune. Schicchi simply impersonates the dead man and dictates a new will, leaving each relative a small portion, but the biggest share for himself. This is Puccinis only true comedy, which many critics regard as his masterpiece. Baritone Leo Nucci sings the title role with soprano Mirella Freni portraying his daughter and tenor Roberto Alagna her fianc. The orchestra gives excellent support under maestro Bruno Bartoletti.

La Rondine (The Swallow) was commissioned as an operetta by a Viennese publisher in 1912, but was completed only after the First World War, by which time the situation in Europe had changed drastically, making it necessary for Puccini to refashion the work into a light lyric opera. Magda is a rich bankers mistress. She falls in love with young Ruggero and runs away with him for an idyllic life in the country. When Ruggeros parents give consent for them to marry, Magda tells him the truth: She is a courtesan and cannot be his bride. Sadly, like a swallow, she returns to her protector in Paris.
Ruggero and Magda are sung by the celebrated then-husband-wife team, tenor Roberto Alagna and soprano Angela Gheorghiu. The London Voices and London Symphony Orchestra perform under the baton of Antonio Pappano.

16 October : Weber / Mahlers Die drei Pintos

Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) began to compose the music for the three-act comedy Die drei Pintos (The Three Pintos) in 1821, but left it unfinished at his death. In 1886, the young conductor at the Leipzig Stadttheater, Gustav Mahler (1860-1911), was approached by Webers grandson and became keenly interested in completing the unfinished work. He took over the fragmentary manuscript, orchestrated the existing music in accordance with Webers wishes, and, making use of Webers themes and motifs, composed a large amount of new music (nearly two-thirds) to fill up the missing parts.

The completed work was premiered in Leipzig in January 1888 with Mahler conducting. This was the only occasion of the great symphonist venturing into the field of opera as composer, though as opera conductor, Mahler was at the top of the world in his position as Director Absolute of the Vienna State Opera and later the Metropolitan Opera of New York.

the queen to safety in France. At news of his loss, the bride loses her mind and expresses her grief in a moving mad scene. In the end the couple are united and peace is restored. The Paris premire in 1835 was a great success, and 17 performances were given in its first season. The opera was then staged in the major capitals of Europe to enthusiastic audiences. Our recording boasts of a magnificent cast led by diva Beverly Sills and tenor Nicolai Gedda. Julius Rudel conducts the Ambrosian Opera Chorus and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Die drei Pintos tells the story of Don Pinto de Fonseca and the complicated intrigues involving his two imposters and his promised bride, who is eventually won by one of the impostors. We present a rare live recording made during performances at the 2009 Wexford Festival, featuring bass Alessandro Svab, soprano Barbara Zechmeister, and tenor Peter Furlong. Paolo Arrivaberi is the conductor.
We offer this programme to commemorate the centenary of Gustav Mahlers death.

30 October : Verdis Il Trovatore

Our last programme of this month is offered as a tribute to one of the most gifted operatic tenors of the new generation, Salvatore Licitra, who died on 5 September as the result of a severe scooter accident, at the age of 43.

Il Trovatore (The Troubadour) is a powerful musical melodrama by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), created in his early maturity. The libretto by Salvatore Cammarano has often been criticized as confusing and uninspiring, but Verdis music is of a very high order, especially in its capacity to dramatize characters and situations and raise the quality of the whole opera above the level of a dire tale of jealousy and revenge.
Each of the principals is assigned at least one great solo scene, with the hero, his beloved Leonora, and his gypsy foster mother being given the most beautiful and effective passages. A gypsy woman, intent on avenging the death of her mother, has abducted the infant son of her enemy. The boy grows up as Manrico, leader of the rebel forces fighting against the powerful Count di Luna. The two opponents, without themselves knowing it, are, in fact, brothers. They both love Leonora but the lady chooses to follow Manrico, and the ensuing battler results in the lovers death in captivity. Salvatore Licitra as Manrico led a team of energetic singers including soprano Barbara Frittoli, mezzo-soprano Violeta Urmana, and baritone Leo Nucci in a committed, urgent interpretation supported by the Chorus and Orchestra of the Theatre of La Scala conducted by Riccardo Muti.
Salvatore Licitra

Carl Maria von Weber started the opera, and Gustav Mahler finished it around 65 years later.

23 October : Bellinis I Puritani

Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) is considered by many the greatest exponent of bel canto opera, a musical style that emphasizes beauty of voice and virtuosity. He is admired for his finely-spun melodies, subtly supported by extended harmony and fluid orchestral accompaniment. The gentle flow of his delicate lines exercised an important influence on many major composers, most notably Chopin in his nocturnes and other lyrical pieces. In his short life, Bellini composed 11 operas. I Puritani (The Puritans) was his last work, containing pages of unsurpassed lyrical beauty. The action takes place in England during the civil war between the Puritan supporters of Cromwell and the Stuarts, the Royalists. Elvira, daughter of a Puritan commander, is betrothed to Arturo, a Royalist, who disappears on their wedding day on a secret mission to escort

Lo King-man n 5 September, Il Messaggero, Italys leading newspaper, published this sad announcement: Salvatore Licitra non ce lha fatta: il tenore muore dopo 9 giorni di coma. (Salvatore Licitra did not make it: the tenor dies after 9 days in a coma.) Born in Switzerland to Sicilian parents, Licitra grew up in Milan. He began to study singing at the age of 18, first at the Music Academy of Parma and later at the vocal school established by Carlo Bergonzi in Busseto. He made his debut as a principal artist in 1998, substituting for the lead tenor in Verdis Un Ballo in Maschera at the Verona Arena on the opening night of the season. His success led to an invitation to star in a new production of Verdis La Forza del Destino at La Scala of Milan conducted by Riccardo Muti. He soon appeared on the stages of many great opera houses throughout Italy and in Vienna, London and Berlin. In 2002, Licitra made his New York Metropolitan debut in Puccinis Tosca, substituting for Luciano Pavarotti at two hours notice. He was received with standing ovations and thereafter became one of the most popular opera singers everywhere including Japan and Taiwan. Hundreds of music lovers heard him in recital at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts on 25 June this year. On 27 August 2011, while riding his motor scooter in Donnalucata in Ragusa Province, Sicily, Licitra lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a wall. He suffered severe head and chest injuries and remained in a coma until pronounced dead nine days later. A beautiful voice falls silent at its prime. In this months Sunday Opera, you can hear Salvatore Licitra plays the role as Manrico in Verdis Il Trovatore. For details, please refer to page 23.

Fabio Luisi

uffering from a series of health problems and severe back pain, James Levine, the Metropolitan Operas music director, has withdrawn from a number of productions at the Met. While resting on vacation this summer, he suffered a fall and damaged a vertebra in his back. As a result, Levine has decided to cancel all his appearances with the Met for the rest of 2011. The Met has therefore elevated its principal guest conductor, Fabio Luisi, to the title of principal conductor. He will take over most of Levines conducting assignments, including the new production of Mozarts Don Giovanni and Wagners Siegfried, which is part of the new Robert La Page staging. Mets General Manager Peter Gelb stressed that Levine will remain as its music director. Although he has turned down several performances over the past years, Levine still has the support of Gelb, who rejected the suggestion that Levines latest health setback would lead to his departure from the Met.

Il Gardellino
Founded 23 years ago, Il Gardellino has gained an outstanding reputation in the world of historical performance. This UK Baroque ensemble borrows its name from Vivaldis concerto, Il Gardellino. In this concert, they juxtapose J.S. Bachs music with those of his contemporaries whose repertoire is often neglected, such as Alessandro Marcello and Johann Gottlieb Janitsch.

Daphne Lee
n/SN_[ The entrance of Studio 2

It is very exciting to be the recording producer of Young Music Makers

2011. The 13 performers, ranging in age from 13 to 20, are young

and energetic, showcase their extraordinary talent on their own musical instruments. They all have a passion for performing music and sharing beautiful melodies. It is definitely a challenging task for them to record 30 minutes of music within a tight schedule, whilst the music recorded is raw, without editing. This group of post 90s are busy with various activities relating to the YMM programme, such as recording the radio programmes, being interviewed for the television, and participating in CD recording sessions.
To watch or listen to the exciting and refreshing performances of YMM

2011, please take note of the following schedule:

On Radio: Every Sunday at 8pm and Friday at 2 pm at Radio 4 (FM 97.6-98.9) On TV: Every Tuesday at 10:15 am and Friday at 9:45 am on TVB Pearl Every Tuesday at 3:30 pm and Wednesday at 3 pm on ATV World Or visit the following websites: On RADIO -- rthk.hk/special/ymm2011 On eTV -- eTVonline.tv
