SUMMARY:Brahms’s A German Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nJohannes Brahms\nEin deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem)\, Op. 45 \n\nFor all its title suggests\, A German Requiem is more balm than dirge\, a work offering comfort and faith in the power of love. Instead of the traditional Latin\, Brahms selected texts from the German Lutheran Bible (hence the title) that emphasize hope and healing\, and he didn’t tie the piece to any particular nationality or religion. Doing the vocal honors are the American Festival Chorus\, soprano Christina Pier\, and baritone Benjamin Appl. \n\nAlasdair’s take on the program:\nBrahms’s stroke of genius in writing this work was to write it for the living\, not the dead\, and its humanity exudes from every pore. \n

SUMMARY:Christina Pier and Benjamin Appl Sing Lieder
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nClara Schumann\n3 Lieder Op. 12 \nFranz Schubert\nSelected Lieder \nRobert Schumann\nDichterliebe (A Poet’s Love)\, Op. 48 \n\nThe soloists from Brahms’s German Requiem offer a recital of lieder (German songs) supported by the Festival’s Principal Keyboard Peter Henderson. Christina Pier’s selections include works by Franz Schubert and Clara Schumann. Benjamin Appl will sing Schumann’s Dichterliebe (A Poet’s Love)\, a cycle of 16 short—sometimes only three lines—songs based on poems about love. It starts out happily enough\, with visions of flowers and birds\, but ends with the poet contemplating drowning his sorrows\, his love\, and his dreams in a coffin in the sea. \n\nAlasdair’s take on the program:\nSchumann’s Dichterliebe stands at the pinnacle of 19th Century song-writing\, and its tale of love and loss will be sure to affect you deeply. \n

SUMMARY:Alexander Malofeev Plays Prokofiev
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nSergei Prokofiev\nExcerpts from Romeo and Juliet\, Op. 64 \nSergei Prokofiev\nPiano Concerto No. 3 in C Major\, Op. 26 \n\nProkofiev’s third piano concerto is the most performed of the five he wrote\, and you’ll quickly understand why. He somehow manages to blend insanely quick and percussive piano-playing with lyrical melodies and exquisite harmonies. Pianist Alexander Malofeev\, who won the International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition at age 12\, is the perfect soloist to bring this sparkling piece to life. The program opens with selections from Prokofiev’s beloved Romeo and Juliet. \n\nAlasdair’s take on the program:\nLast year I heard the brilliant young Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev in Paris and I rushed to bring him to Sun Valley as soon as possible—you won’t be disappointed! \n

SUMMARY:Tan Dun’s Water Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nTan Dun\nWater Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra \nMaurice Ravel\nRapsodie espagnole  \n\nOne of the world’s leading composers\, Tan Dun wrote that his Water Concerto was inspired by his childhood life along a river: “I transpose memories of beautiful laundry sounds\, swimming sounds\, water dancing sounds\, and water popping sounds.” The Festival’s Principal Percussion Mark Damoulakis will bring water itself into the music using a variety of vessels. You might want to sit a few rows back. Next\, Associate Conductor Euan Shields makes his Music Festival debut conducting Ravel’s Rapsodie espagnole\, a piece inspired by the composer’s Basque heritage that evokes Spain’s sights\, sounds\, and passions. \n\nAlasdair’s take on the program:\nIt’s safe to say that in 40 years of concert-going in Sun Valley\, there’s never been anything quite like Tan Dun’s Water Concerto. Prepare yourself for an immersive experience! \n

SUMMARY:Festival Orchestra Pops Night: The American Songbook
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nRichard Hayman\nArmed Forces Medley \nCome Swing With Me!\n\nConductor\, arranger\, and composer Jeff Tyzik invites you to Come Swing With Me! Step back in time to the heyday of the 1950’s Las Vegas strip when the biggest names in show business ruled the room and a well-poured martini was always within reach. Tyzik will bring his own orchestral arrangements of some of the great standards\, and the soulful crooner Paul Loren will take you on a musical journey highlighting iconic voices of the era\, from Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to Duke Ellington and Bobby Darin. \n\nAlasdair’s take on the program:\nWhat a fun evening this is going to be: great songs from a great era and something for everybody! \n

SUMMARY:Gil Shaham plays Barber
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nThomas Adès\nExcerpts from Inferno (Dante Ballet – Part I) \nSamuel Barber\nViolin Concerto\, Op. 14 \n\nSamuel Barber was a serious composer and a gifted orchestral craftsman perhaps best known for his cinematic Adagio for Strings. Equally lush and compelling\, his violin concerto gained popularity for its lyrical and songful first two movements and completely virtuosic third. The great violinist Gil Shaham returns to Sun Valley to share this marvelous work with us. To open the concert\, Euan Shields conducts several excerpts from Thomas Adès’s Inferno\, whose passages vividly depict episodes in Dante’s journey through Hell. \n\nAlasdair’s take on the program:\nI’ve known Gil since I conducted him in the Julliard pre-college orchestra; even then I knew he was destined to be one of the greatest violinists of his generation. \n

SUMMARY:Gil Shaham and Festival Musicians Play Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nMaurice Ravel\nIntroduction and Allegro for Harp\, Flute\, Clarinet\, and\nString Quartet \nLudwig van Beethoven\nString Quintet in A Major\, Op. 47b\, “Kreutzer” \n\nBeethoven wrote a string quintet?? Though it was published after his death\, scholars believe the great composer re-arranged his famous “Kreutzer” violin sonata into a quintet featuring two cellos. Full of fiery passion\, it features demanding solo parts for each instrument. The program opens with Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro for Harp\, Flute\, Clarinet\, and String Quartet\, a piece commissioned by a harp company to show off its instruments. Yet while the harp shines brightly\, this is ultimately a shared tapestry that showcases Ravel’s masterful orchestration. \n

SUMMARY:Season Finale: Mahler’s Symphony No. 1
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Concert Chat at 5:45 PM\nLawn Paver Bar \n\nGustav Mahler\nSymphony No. 1 in D Major\, “Titan” \n\nThe Festival’s Summer Season concludes with Mahler’s first symphony\, whose monumental score demanded the largest orchestra ever assembled at the time. An epic narrative of struggle and triumph\, it opens with the sounds of nature awakening\, moves through dances\, folk tunes\, and a funeral march that twists “Frère Jacques” into something of a parody\, and in the final movement pulls the audience into a heroic journey from despair to a glorious triumph. Watch out for some of Mahler’s tricks along the way–just when you think you might have arrived in heaven\, things crash down only to begin the journey all over again! \n\nAlasdair’s take on the program:\nMahler’s first symphony is a staggeringly original first foray into the genre\, and it still packs an enormous punch nearly 140 years after its conception. \n
