Finale: Alla breve (D minor-D Major) 25:50 Andre Watts, piano Seiji Ozawa, conductor New York Philharmonic Orchestra ANDRE WATTS: "André Watts is a German-born American pianist who was known for a surpassing technique and understated manner that made him a favoured concert performer. Watts was the son of an African American soldier and a Hungarian mother. At age nine he made his debut at a Philadelphia Orchestra children’s concert. He attracted wide attention when at age 16 he performed on television under conductor Leonard Bernstein. Though already a mature musician, he chose to continue study with Leon Fleischer. In 1976 he gave a concert that was the first live television broadcast of a solo recital in history. His popularity continued into the 21st century. Watts was the recipient of numerous honours, including the Avery Fisher Prize (1988) and the National Medal of Arts (2011)." SEIJI OZAWA: "American orchestra conductor Seiji Ozawa is noted for his energetic style and sweeping performances of 19th-century Western symphonic works. Among the honors he received throughout his career were two Emmy Awards for his performances on public television specials, the French Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, and honorary doctorates in music from Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts, the New England Conservatory of Music, and Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts. In February 1998 he joined musicians around the world via satellite link to close the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. Seiji Ozawa was born on September 1, 1935, in Hoten, Manchukuo (now in China), of Japanese parents. He grew up in Japan and showed interest in Western music as a child. He had hoped to become a pianist, but at age 16 he injured his hands. Ozawa then turned to conducting, studying with Hideo Saito at the Toho School in Tokyo. In 1959, after conducting with the NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai) Symphony Orchestra of Japan and the Japanese Philharmonic, Ozawa went to Europe, where he won the Besançon International Conductors’ Competition. The following summer he studied in the United States under Charles Munch at the Berkshire Music Festival in Tanglewood, Massachusetts, where he won the Koussevitzky Prize. At that time he began a long and fruitful association with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. After a further year of study with Herbert von Karajan in Berlin, Ozawa was engaged as an assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic by Leonard Bernstein. From 1964 to 1968 Ozawa served as music director of the Ravinia Festival in Chicago. He became music director of Canada’s Toronto Symphony Orchestra in 1965 and of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in 1970. In 1973 Ozawa was appointed conductor and music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a position that had for years been the exclusive preserve of European conductors. His tenure with the symphony lasted until 2002, the longest of any active music director with a major orchestra. Ozawa became increasingly interested in opera during the 1990s. In 1992 he debuted with the Metropolitan Opera in New York and, as a tribute to Hideo Saito, cofounded the Saito Kinen Festival in Matsumoto, Japan. He was principal conductor of the Vienna State Opera from 2002 to 2010. Early in 2010 Ozawa underwent surgery for esophageal cancer, which forced him to retreat from the public stage for the better part of the year. Ozawa made his return to public performance at the Saito Kinen Festival that September. Ongoing health issues continued to restrict his performance schedule, but he nonetheless made occasional appearances, notably at the Saito Kinen Festival. It was renamed the Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival in his honor in 2015. In 2011 Ozawa received the Japan Art Association’s Praemium Imperiale prize for music. He was named a Kennedy Center honoree in 2015." Remastered By: Wayne Yang, USA-Taiwan

Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique: Épisode de la vie d'un artiste ... en cinq parties, Op. 14 is programme music. The illustrations highlight key moments in the story of the symphony. The illustrations were hand-drawn in pencil, scanned, and then colored using Paint.net. The illustrations cover all 5 movements of the symphony. / Creative Commons License Music / Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14 Orchestre Lamoureux Igor Markevitch, Conductor / Illustration Program Notes / Movement 1 illustrations meld the programme of the symphony with Berlioz's attendance at a production of Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Odéon Theater in Paris, where he saw the role of Ophelia played by Harriett Smithson with whom he became obsessed and later married. Movement 2 illustrations depict a ball with patrons wearing Parisian formal ware of the time period. Movement 3 illustrations show the main character (the Artist) in the countryside contemplating his thoughts, followed by thunder. Some artistic liberty was taken to associate the orchestral thunder with lightening striking a tree. This is followed by the Artist taking opium, as described in the original program notes by Berlioz. Movement 4 illustrations follow closely the programme of the symphony. Movement 5 illustrations end with an "infernal wedding" of the Artist to his idée fixe in the form of a demon. The infernal wedding idea comes from the writings of the composer Robert Schumann on the topic Berlioz's symphony. The witches' sabbath was embellished with satanic symbols to enhance the drama of the scene. / Table of Contents / Mvt 1: 0:00 Mvt 2: 14:10 Mvt 3: 20:20 Mvt 4: 36:20 Mvt 5: 41:10 / Illustrator Biographies / T.A.Z. has a Ph.D. in chemistry and an M.A. in music.

Remastered in 24-bit, 96 kHz I. Tempo molto moderato 0:00 II. Andante mosso, quasi allegretto 13:15 III. Allegro molto 23:11 Leonard Bernstein, conductor New York Philharmonic, 1965 Score: (http•••) Leonard Bernstein: "Leonard Bernstein was an American conductor, composer, and pianist noted for his accomplishments in both classical and popular music, for his flamboyant conducting style, and for his pedagogic flair, especially in concerts for young people. Bernstein played piano from age 10. He attended Boston Latin School; Harvard University (A.B., 1939), where he took courses in music theory with Arthur Tillman Merritt and counterpoint with Walter Piston; the Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia (1939–41), where he studied conducting with Fritz Reiner and orchestration with Randall Thompson; and the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, Massachusetts, where he studied conducting with Serge Koussevitzky. In 1943 Bernstein was appointed assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic; the first signal of his forthcoming success came on November 14, 1943, when he was summoned unexpectedly to substitute for the conductor Bruno Walter. His technical self-assurance under difficult circumstances and his interpretive excellence made an immediate impression and marked the beginning of a brilliant career. He subsequently conducted the New York City Center orchestra (1945–47) and appeared as guest conductor in the United States, Europe, and Israel. In 1953 he became the first American to conduct at La Scala in Milan. From 1958 to 1969 Bernstein was conductor and musical director of the New York Philharmonic, becoming the first American-born holder of those posts. With this orchestra he made several international tours in Latin America, Europe, the Soviet Union, and Japan. His popularity increased through his appearances not only as conductor and pianist but also as a commentator and entertainer. Bernstein explained classical music to young listeners on such television shows as Omnibus and Young People’s Concerts. After 1969 he continued to write music and to perform as a guest conductor with several symphonies throughout the world. As a composer Bernstein made skillful use of diverse elements ranging from biblical themes, as in the Symphony No. 1 (1942; also called Jeremiah) and the Chichester Psalms (1965); to jazz rhythms, as in the Symphony No. 2 (1949; The Age of Anxiety), after a poem by W.H. Auden; to Jewish liturgical themes, as in the Symphony No. 3 (1963; Kaddish). His best-known works are the musicals On the Town (1944; filmed 1949), Wonderful Town (1953; filmed 1958), Candide (1956), and the very popular West Side Story (1957; filmed 1961), written in collaboration with Stephen Sondheim and Jerome Robbins. He also wrote the scores for the ballets Fancy Free (1944), Facsimile (1946), and Dybbuk (1974), and he composed the music for the film On the Waterfront (1954), for which he received an Academy Award nomination. His Mass, written especially for the occasion, was performed at the opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., in September 1971. In 1989 he conducted two historic performances of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D Minor (1824; Choral), which were held in East and West Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 1990 Bernstein was awarded the Japan Art Association’s Praemium Imperiale prize for music. Bernstein published a collection of lectures, The Joy of Music (1959); Young People’s Concerts, for Reading and Listening (1962, revised edition 1970); The Infinite Variety of Music (1966); and The Unanswered Question (1976), taken from his Charles Eliot Norton lectures at Harvard University (1973)."
