Simon Rattle’s Berliners Bring Mahler and More

Simon Rattle, halfway through his 10-year contract as music
director of the Berlin Philharmonic, has brought that venerated
orchestra to Carnegie Hall for the Berlin in Lights festival. On
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, in the first two of three sold-out
programs, he paired new scores by the Finnish composer Magnus
Lindberg and the British composer Thomas Adès with autumnal works
by Mahler: the Ninth Symphony and “Das Lied von der Erde.” I found
the performances overwhelming; to judge from the prolonged ovations
on both nights the audiences agreed.

Two months after an unspecified medical condition caused him to miss three major appearances at Carnegie Hall, Claudio Abbado returned to conducting this week with a pair of concerts in Bologna.
The revered Italian maestro led the chamber ensemble of Orchestra Mozart, a group of young Italian professional musicians which he co-founded in Bologna in 2005, in works by Pergolesi on November 6 and 7. The concerts launched a three-year project surveying the music of the composer; the 300th anniversary of Pergolesi's birth falls in 2010.
Earlier this fall, illness led Abbado to withdraw from the North American debut performances of

意大利指挥家阿巴多因健康原因取消了最近的所有演出计划,包括下月在纽约卡耐基音乐厅的音乐会。
2000年,阿巴多因胃癌切除了大部分的胃,从那时起他大幅度削减了他演出合同,把精力集中在自己最喜欢的演出上。
阿巴多今年夏天曾在瑞士与卢塞恩音乐节乐团合作。音乐节组织者发表的生命说,74岁的阿巴多没有向他们提供目前身体情况的细节,他取消演出是因为医生的建议。大师希望自己能尽快返回舞台。
音乐节的负责人Michael Haefliger说:“阿巴多9月5日从撒丁岛的家中打来电话,通知了取消音乐会的决定。听起来他的情况不好,我不能问他究竟发生了什么,只是希望他尽快恢复,很快能够指挥。”

凯鲁比尼的G大调序曲对于一般的听众还很陌生,真奇怪我会如此地喜欢它。纽约爱乐乐团给出了天鹅绒般的开头,紧接着的是烈火加硫磺的戏剧性。在穆蒂心里,好象它是最伟大的音乐会序曲。感觉这首作品是特别为弦乐谱写的,穆蒂从乐队那里唤起了我所听到的最精巧纤细的声音。按照文献记载,G大调序曲的首演非常成功,观众要求乐队重复演奏。如

Giulini remembered
Oper Chic is listening to nothing but Giulini CDs today, the
two-year anniversary of the great conductor's death, and offers
this touching tribute. She has asked me to re-post the interview
that I did with the maestro on his 90th birthday, in 2004. I
obey.

The forgotten maestro
Carlo Maria Giulini brought greatness to the Los Angeles
Philharmonic. But today, on his 90th birthday, all music has left
him.
The bells are tolling in Milan, but Carlo Maria Giulini does not notice. When they are brought to his attention, he shows no interest.
The great conductor, who turns 90 today, has left all things musical behind. 'It's very far from my life now,'' he says in heavily accented English. He apolog

The pianist Leon Fleisher, who began to recover the use of his
right hand more than 10 years ago after suffering from a
neurological disorder for some three decades, now plays and records

IT is now more than 10 years since Leon Fleisher began to recover the use of his right hand in an astonishing twist that conferred a Hollywood-style happy ending on a story with all the hallmarks of a tear-jerker. Piano fans know the details: how in 1964, preparing for a tour of the Soviet Union with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra, Mr.
