SUMMARY:Beethoven 4 and Anna Clyne
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nAnna Clyne\n\nWithin Her Arms \nLudwig van Beethoven\nSymphony No. 4 in B-Flat Major\, Op. 60 \n\nFor recommended listening\, please click here.\n\nIn between two of the most famous classical works ever written (his third and fifth symphonies)\, Beethoven produced this gem of a composition. Light\, airy\, and approachable\, it certainly warrants more love; Schumann called it “a slender Greek maiden between two huge Nordic giants.” Can a piece of music be mournful and elegiac\, somber and grieving\, while also exquisitely beautiful\, even radiant\, and full of life? Give a listen to Anna Clyne’s ode to her mother\, Within Her Arms\, and see what you think. \n

SUMMARY:Upbeat with Alasdair:  Celebrating Ravel – His Enduring Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The Music Festival celebrates the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel’s birth with a special concert on Sunday\, August 10.  While Ravel never embraced the label of “Impressionist\,” he certainly became famous for music that evokes images through music. He was also a master orchestrator\, crafting soundscapes of exquisite sensitivity and – to many listeners – instantly recognizable as his own.  In this edition of Upbeat\, Maestro Neale discusses Ravel’s enduring appeal and offers some listening hints for the upcoming concert. \nViewers can enjoy the talk in person at the Community Library lecture hall (415 Spruce Ave\, Ketchum) or broadcast live on the Festival’s website. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. (MT). The presentation begins at 11:00 a.m. (MT). \nAdmission is free. Space is limited. Reservations are required to attend in person and are now available on The Community Library’s calendar. \n\n\n\nAugust 7 : https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/13825533 \n\n\n\nCapacity is unlimited for the online broadcast and reservations are not required to watch online. Only in-person attendees will be able to participate in the Q&A session that will take place towards the end of the presentation. \n

SUMMARY:An Evening of Ravel followed by Lawn Party
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nMaurice Ravel\nExcerpts from Miroirs\nValses Nobles et sentimentales\nDaphnis et Chloé\, Suite No. 2\n \n\nFor recommended listening\, please click here.\n\nHere’s an all-Ravel program in honor of the great composer’s 150th birthday. The concert opens with two of Ravel’s Miroirs\, pieces he dedicated to avant-garde artists who were also his friends. Next up: a set of seven waltzes and an epilogue under the title Valses nobles et sentimentales. Ravel acknowledged Schubert as his inspiration\, but there’s no mistaking Ravel’s distinctive sound and elegant orchestration.  The evening concludes with Stephanie Childress conducting Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2. Stravinsky called it “not only Ravel’s best work\, but also one of the most beautiful products of all French music.” Sit back\, relax\, and let the arrival of dawn wash over you.

SUMMARY:Gautier Capuçon Plays Elgar
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nGabriella Smith\nTumblebird Contrails \nEdward Elgar\nCello Concerto in E Minor\, Op. 85 \n\nFor recommended listening\, please click here.\n\nWhat do the movie Tár and the Netflix show Wednesday have in common? Key characters playing Elgar’s cello concerto! Hailed as Elgar’s final masterpiece\, it’s a gorgeous but not particularly happy work (would Wednesday Addams play anything remotely happy?) influenced by the devastating impact of World War I on the composer’s psyche. Gautier Capuçon returns to Sun Valley to deliver this hauntingly beautiful music. Stephanie Childress opens the concert with Tumblebird Contrails\, a piece the composer Gabriella Smith says was “inspired by a single moment sitting in the sand at the edge of the ocean\, listening to the hallucinatory sounds of the Pacific\, watching a pair of ravens playing in the wind.” \n  \n

SUMMARY:Brahms Symphony No. 4
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nJohannes Brahms\nSymphony No. 4 in E Minor  \n\nFor recommended listening\, please click here.\n\nFans of Beethoven may bristle at the suggestion\, but there’s a sizable contingent that views Brahms’s Fourth Symphony as the very embodiment of the symphonic ideal. Precisely constructed\, it displays Brahms’s absolutely mastery of the form. Filled with beautiful tunes and waves of romantic emotion\, it also remains steadfastly earnest\, even austere. Brahms recognized this quality\, writing from his mountain retreat near Vienna that his symphony “tastes of the climate here. The cherries don’t ripen in these parts; you wouldn’t eat them!” Pay particular attention to the finale\, a masterful homage to one of Bach’s chaconnes—a stately dance with 32 variations over a repeating bass line. It’s brilliant. \n  \n  \n

He chose to add a cello\, rather than a viola\, to the traditional string quartet\, and the result is a wonderful exploration of the instrument’s capabilities. At times the second cello reinforces the bass line\, at other times it soars into its highest range\, and at one point the two cellos play a lovely duet. The great cellist Gautier Capuçon joins with several Festival Orchestra musicians to bring this magnificent piece to life. \n  \n  \n

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
