SUMMARY:Olga Kern Plays Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nReena Esmail\nTestament\n \nSergei Rachmaninoff\nPiano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor\, Op. 18 \n\nFor recommended listening\, please click here.\n\nHome to some of the most popular and recognizable tunes in classical music\, Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto was an instant success and remains one of the most-performed orchestra pieces today. It will be in good hands (apologies) with Olga Kern\, who won first prize at the Rachmaninoff International Piano competition at age 17 and remains the only woman to win the Gold Medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in the last 50 years. The concert opens with Reena Esmail’s Testament\, which features traditional Hindustani melodies and easily demonstrates why Esmail’s music is receiving so much play these days. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Olga Kern and Festival Musicians Play Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nSergei Rachmaninoff\nPresto in E Minor from Six Moments Musicaux\, Op. 16\, No. 4 \nCharles Lysberg\nSpinning Wheel \nMoritz Moszkowski\nÉtincelles [Sparks] from Eight Characteristic Pieces\, Op. 36\, No. 6 \nClaude Debussy\nFeux d’artifice (Fireworks] from Préludes \nAlexander Scriabin\nAndante in F-sharp Major from Eight Etudes\, Op. 42\, No. 4\nAffannato [Breathless] in C-sharp Minor from Eight Etudes\, Op. 42\, No. 5 \nSergei Prokofiev\nPresto energico from Four Etudes\, Op. 2\, No. 4 \nLudwig van Beethoven\nTrio in D Major for Piano\, Violin\, and Cello\, Op. 70\, No. 1\, “Ghost” \n\nFor recommended listening\, please click here.\n\nOlga Kern opens this program with a series of light\, short\, and speedy pieces for solo piano.  Following\, she joins with Festival musicians for Beethoven’s Piano Trio in D Major\, which got the nickname “Ghost” because of its ominous and spooky middle  movement.  It’s eerie\, mournful\, and almost painfully slow.  In contrast\, the two movements that surround it are short\, cheerful and light-hearted\, making for an interesting spooky sandwich.  George Bernard Shaw wrote of Beethoven that “he could write music whose beauty will last you all your life; he could take the driest sticks of themes and work them up so interestingly that you will find something new in them at the hundredth hearing.”  Listen and enjoy the simple “sticks” of themes in the very beginning of both outer movements. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Season Finale: An Evening of Richard Strauss
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nRichard Strauss\nDeath and Transfiguration\, Op. 24\nSuite from Der Rosenkavalier” \n\nFor recommended listening\, please click here.\n\nThe Summer Season concludes with two pieces from Richard Strauss: his tone poem Death and Transfiguration and the suite from his opera Der Rosenkavalier. Tone poems are compositions that relate to stories in the “real world\,” such as a hike in the alps in Eine Alpensinfonie. This one explores mystery of death and what lies beyond. Strauss wrote: “It occurred to me to present in the form of a tone poem the dying hours of a man who had striven towards the highest idealistic aims\, maybe indeed those of an artist.” Der Rosenkavalier gives us the finest music from Strauss’s happy\, funny\, and sentimental opera. Listen for the famous waltz towards the end – a beautiful but also funny bit because waltzes didn’t really exist during the time of the opera’s setting in Mozart’s Vienna. Critics of the day gave Strauss a hard time for that\, but we get to enjoy it. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
