[…] Rimsky-Korsakov, in St. Petersburg, by the Russian Symphony conducted by Rimsky-Korsakov (Gregorian date: Oct. 27). Also in 1886 Antonin Dvorák’s oratorio “St. Ludmilla,” Op. 71, was premiered at the Leeds Festival in England. In 1900 Zdenek Fibich died at age 49 in Prague, Czechoslovakia. In 1905 Dag Wirén was born in Noraberg, Oerebro, Sweden. Also in 1905 Claude Debussy’s “La Mer” was premiered at a Lamoureux Concert in Paris, conducted by Chevillard. In 1933 Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1 was premiered by the Leningrad Philharmonic conducted by Fritz Stiedry. He was piano soloist, and the trumpet solos were played by Alexander Shmidt.

Hallucinatory Atmospherics: Florent Schmitt's Rêves (1915)
[…] Légende would not be composed until after the end of the war. Still, it’s hard not to think that wartime circumstances contributed in some manner to the general flavor of both compositions. Certainly, any “resolution” that we may hear at the end of either piece doesn’t come across as anything particularly definitive or cathartic. Rêves received its first performance in November 1918 in Paris, in a combined Lamoureux/Colonne Orchestra concert under the direction of Camille Chevillard . But the first recording of the piece wouldn’t come along until nearly 70 years later. First recording: Leif Segerstam and the Rhineland-Pfalz State Philharmonic (1987). To my knowledge, there have been just two commercial recordings ever released of Rêves. The first one, made in 1987 by Leif Segerstam and Rheinland-Pfalz State Philharmonic Orchestra, originally appeared on Cybelia , a short-lived French record label with only limited distribution in the United States.

Brilliance and Sophistication: Florent Schmitt’s Trois Rapsodies (1904)
[…] it should come as little surprise that he orchestrated a number of his piano scores for performance in the concert hall. Examples of these works include Soirs, Feuillets de voyage, Puppazzi and Reflets d’Allemagne. Such was the case with the Trois rapsodies also. The first movement to be orchestrated was Rapsodie viennoise, done by Schmitt in 1911. It received its first performance by the Orchestre Lamoureux later that year under the direction of Camille Chevillard (and it was recorded by Albert Wolff with this same orchestra in 1931). Paul Paray (1886-1979) premiered more orchestral works of Florent Schmitt than any other conductor. The Trois rapsodies was premiered by Paray in Paris in 1928, several years after this photo was taken. Subsequently, Schmitt orchestrated the other two movements as well. The orchestrations were published by Durand , and the full set was premiered by Paul Paray and the […]
