Richard Strauss, 2019
[…] establish the society protecting the copyrights of German composers; he was elected President of Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein, the German music association; he also took over the orchestra of the Tonkünstlerverband, another German professional music organization and toured with it in Europe. Very much like Mahler, he was too busy to compose during the musical seasons and did it mostly during the summers. Mahler found refuge in several spots in Austria: from 1893 to 1896 in Steinbach on the Atter See in Upper Austria, then, briefly in Bad Aussee, from 1901 to 1907 in Maiernigg on the Worther See in Carinthia, and for the last three summers of his life – in Toblach in Tyrol. Strauss’s life was more organized: from 1890 to 1908 he spent every summer in a mountain villa of Pauline's parents in Marquartstein, Bavaria. This is where he turned to opera, opening another chapter of his creative […]

Friedrich Gulda Plays Mozart
Austrian pianist Friedrich Gulda died on January 27, 2000. He died at his home which was located at Steinbach am Attersee, in Austria, the same town where Gustav Mahler had a home and spent several summers composing there. Gulda loved the music of Mozart, as do I and millions of musicians like me. In some sense this Cd is dedicated to Gulda’s memory. The selections on this recording are as follows: Gulda: Improvisation 1 + 2, a live recording of a concert on June 27, 1982 at the Munich “Klaviersommer” with the jazz pianist Chick Corea Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 12 in F major, K332, a live recording of a concert on June 27, 1982 at the Munich “Klaviersommer” with the jazz pianist Chick Corea Rondo for Piano & Orchestra in A major, K386 Rondo for Piano & Orchestra in D major, K382 All performed by Friedrich Gulda […]

[…] Dostojevski, enzovoort ad infinitum. Het komt er ook niet op aan dat de mode haar goden wisselt. Hoofdzaak is dat er goden zijn.’ Hoe kunnen we nog door die idealiserende vertekeningen heen lezen zonder in een te gemakkelijke postmoderne zelfgenoegzaamheid te vervallen? Valt het op te lossen door naar foto’s te kijken? Terug naar het gestolde lichaam. 6 ‘Vol spanning en voorpret zag ik uit naar de weken die ik met Mahler in Steinbach zou doorbrengen. Op een heerlijke julidag kwam ik met de stoomboot aan. Mahler stond mij op de aanlegsteiger op te wachten en sleepte ondanks mijn protest eigenhandig mijn koffer de steiger af, tot een gedienstige hand die van hem overnam. Toen mijn blik onderweg op het Höllengebirge viel, dat met zijn starre rotswanden de achtergrond vormde van het verder zo liefelijke landschap, zei Mahler: “Daar hoeft u helemaal niet meer naar te kijken – […]

[…] as well as a conductor with ‘complete mastery’ of the orchestra. In 1908 Karl Muck, then the conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, recommended Fiedler as his successor as conductor of the orchestra, and he was duly appointed, having already appeared in the United States during 1905, when he had conducted the New York Philharmonic Orchestra alongside Willem Mengelberg and a year before the guest appearance of a German conductor noted for his Brahms, Fritz Steinbach. Although he spent four years at the helm in Boston, his conducting attracted some criticism, especially for his volatility as an interpreter, which was viewed as pleasing ‘the general public’ rather than ‘connoisseurs’. Among his achievements there, he conducted the world premiere of Paderewski’s massive Symphony in B minor “Polonia in 1909. Fiedler returned to Hamburg in 1912, where Siegmund von Hausegger was now in charge of the Philharmonic Orchestra; and since co-residence was […]
