History of the Bach Festival SocietyThe Bach Festival Society was founded in 1935 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Johann Sebastian Bach’s birth by presenting the composer’s orchestral and choral music to the public for its enlightenment, education, and enjoyment. As Central Florida’s oldest operating performing arts organization, the Bach Festival Society is well known internationally and has enjoyed a long tradition of bringing world-class talent to the Winter Park community. Since its inception, the Society has expanded its offerings beyond the annual Bach Festival to include Choral Masterworks and Visiting Artists performances, as well as a variety of educational and community outreach programs to encourage participation in music at all levels.

ALISA WEILERSTIEN, CELLOAmerican cellist Alisa Weilerstein has attracted widespread attention worldwide for playing that combines a natural virtuosic command and technical precision with impassioned musicianship. The intensity of her playing has regularly been lauded, as has the spontaneity and sensitivity of her interpretations. In September 2011 she was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, and in 2010 she became an exclusive recording artist for Decca Classics, the first cellist to be signed by the prestigious label in over 30 years.

She has appeared with all of the major orchestras throughout the United States and Europe, and has toured with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields as a soloist, including an appearance with the Bach Festival Society in the 2012-13 season.

Ms. Weilerstein’s 2013-14 season includes engagements across Europe and the United States. Ms. Weilerstein is artist-in-residence with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra this season, and has engagements with the Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, and

San Francisco symphonies and the Israel Philharmonic. She will return to the Southbank Center in London to perform with Kirill Karabits and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and to the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam to perform with James Gaffigan and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. She will also give a recital at London’s Wigmore Hall in December as part of a European tour with pianist Inon Barnatan.

In 2009, Ms. Weilerstein was one of four artists invited by the First Lady, Michelle Obama, to participate in a widely-applauded and high profile classical music event at the White House that included student workshops hosted by the First Lady, and playing for guests including President Obama and the First Family. A month later she was the soloist on a tour of Venezuela with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, led by Gustavo Dudamel. She has subsequently made numerous return visits to Venezuela to teach and perform with the orchestra as part of its famed El Sistema program of music education.

Ms. Weilerstein’s love for the cello began when she was just two-and-a-half after her grandmother assembled a makeshift set of instruments out of cereal boxes to entertain her when she was ill with the chicken pox. Ms. Weilerstein, who was born in 1982, was instantly drawn to the Rice Krispies box cello but soon grew frustrated that it didn’t make a sound. After convincing her parents to buy her a real cello when she was four, she showed a natural affinity for the instrument and performed her first public concert six months later. Her Cleveland Orchestra debut was in October 1995, at age 13, playing the Tchaikovsky “Rococo” Variations. She made her Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Youth Symphony in March 1997. Ms. Weilerstein is a graduate of the Young Artist Program at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where she studied with Richard Weiss. In May 2004, she graduated from Columbia University in New York with a degree in Russian History.

BIOGRAPHIES

“Claude Debussy, musicien français” is how he signed his last works, a declaration of courageous patriotism in the face of the attacking Germans, the “Bosch” as he called them. (The Germans repaid his boldness with a hellish farewell of an artillery attack of Paris on March 25, 1918, as Debussy lay dying.) Yet Debussy’s defiance in the face of invasion was not the only reason we can think of him as “French musician.” Following, perhaps, the example of his younger contemporary, Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), late in life Debussy found the style of his French predecessors Couperin (1668-1733) and Rameau (1726-1764)

an attractive model to stimulate his creativity.

CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862-1918) was a born iconoclast. Son of a shop owner and his seamstress wife, Debussy and his family moved from the Paris suburb of his birth to the city, then fled the Franco-Prussian War in 1867 to the safety of Cannes, where the young boy took his first piano lessons. The talented child entered the Paris Conservatory at the age of 10 and stayed until he was 21. In concert he played so well he could have made a career as a pianist, but he wanted to compose, and in his own way, with dissonance. Debussy’s

INON BARNATAN, PIANOOne of today’s most exciting and compelling artists, Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan has recently been appointed New York Philharmonic’s first Artist in Association. He will perform multiple times with the orchestra over several seasons, beginning with his subscription debut playing Ravel’s Concerto in G with Alan Gilbert in 2014-15.

Mr. Barnatan will also return to the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and Louisville, New Jersey, Ulster, Vancouver, and Quebec Symphony Orchestras, and perform with the Atlanta, Eugene, Milwaukee, and National Arts Centre Orchestras. He will also make his solo recital debuts at the Celebrity Series of Boston and at the Harris Theater in Chicago, among others.

Mr. Barnatan has performed with many of the most esteemed ensembles in the USA, including the symphony orchestras of Atlanta, Dallas, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. He has toured twice with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields as a conductor and soloist, including an appearance with the Bach Festival Society in the 2012-13 season. In 2009, he was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, an honor reflecting the strong impression he has made on the American music scene in such a short period of time.

In addition to his American appearances, Mr. Barnatan has appeared as a soloist with the Aachen Symphony, the Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Deutsche Symphonie Orchester Berlin, National Arts Centre Orchestra, Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, London Soloists Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra of New Europe, and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. He is a frequent performer at Wigmore Hall and the Concertgebouw and has appeared in some of Europe’s most illustrious venues, such as The Paris Louvre, Berlin’s Philharmonie, and London’s South Bank.

Born in Tel Aviv in 1979, Inon Barnatan started playing the piano at the age of 3 after his parents discovered he had perfect pitch, and he made his orchestral debut at 11. His studies connect him to some of the 20th century’s most illustrious pianists and teachers: he studied with Professor Victor Derevianko, who himself studied with the Russian master Heinrich Neuhaus, and in 1997 he moved to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music with Maria Curcio—who was a student of the legendary Artur Schnabel—and with Christopher Elton. Leon Fleisher has also been an influential teacher and mentor. In 2006 Mr. Barnatan moved to New York City, where he currently resides in a converted warehouse in Harlem.

BIOGRAPHIES

academic turmoil was matched by a chaotic private life, his behavior willful. Although he won the Prix de Rome in 1884, he hated living in the city as much as he disliked the music of Donizetti. He found the extended harmonies and free rhythms of Liszt’s and Wagner’s work attractive, but when he returned to Paris his new compositions were small and restrained, so unlike the massive sound of his ideals. Experiments with medieval modes and whole tone scales led Debussy to his signature harmonic style. By 1894, with the premiere of Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune he was recognized as an important composer, albeit scandalous. One thing was left for Debussy to absorb into his compositional quiver, the sound of a Javanese gamelan music with its pentatonic scales.

Diagnosed with cancer in 1909, Debussy submitted to difficult surgery in 1915, yet he remained sick and sometimes unable to work. The final project he set himself was to write a sonata for six different instruments, but was able to complete only half the task: cello and piano as well as flute, viola, and harp, both finished in 1915, and the violin and piano recital in 1917. These are abstract pieces, not music with a story, written in the style of his musical forbearers who created the first pre-Classic sonatas in the 17th century. Some fans of Debussy were disgruntled at the premieres as the typical glorious wash of sound was replaced by something different. The SONATA IN D MINOR FOR CELLO AND PIANO is not what we might expect; rather than a sprawling journey of paragraphs of developed ideas Debussy presents us with three gem-like conversations, full of little phrases that appear and vanish. At the opening of first movement, Prologue–Lent, we know where jazz pianists get the spirit of their contemplative playing, and the cello doesn’t wait until the thought finishes, just joins in. The rest of the movement is a series of wavering tempos, as the movement goes through a bit of agitation before settling back to the first languid character, the cellist ending on ethereal double-stops. Whether or not the Serenade was originally intended to be titled

“Pierrot Angry at the Moon,” it is certainly different from Schoenberg’s expressionist statement from 1911, full of snapping pizzicatos and giggling riffs. This movement may have been dedicated to Debussy’s adored daughter, Claude-Emma, the reason Debussy was able to struggle with depression and ill-health and, as he said, not become a suicide. The second movement slides (almost literally) into the third without pause (attaca) into the Finale: Animé, starting with a bright, almost perpetual motion, a glimpse of a young boulevardier who becomes reflective before resuming the jaunt through the avenues. It is wise to reflect that the composer was a brilliant pianist when listening to this sonata, for both instruments are equals engaged in music making.

Sometimes a piece of music benefits from being heard in a different arrangement: just consider Ravel’s version of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. In the case of the FANTASIA IN C MAJOR, D. 934 (OP. 159 POSTH.) by FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797–1828), Weilerstein and Barnatan collaborated on transferring the violin work to cello, primarily by changing registers and not by changing notes. The premiere, less than a year before Schubert’s death, by a virtuoso violinist and excellent pianist that were in Schubert’s circle, somehow failed to connect with the audience, some of whom wandered out before the piece was finished. The piece was declared not good, and it remained unpublished until 1850. Performance of the work requires two equally extraordinarily talented players, whether in the original violin or transcribed version.

Since the Renaissance and the beginning of purely instrumental music, the word Fantasy has meant a work that seems more improvisatory than structured. To many composers, Schubert included, this means a piece that can be in several sections, with different keys, and moods, but instead of the sections being in discrete movements, the parts are linked together into a whole unit, as though the performer were improvising on the spot (a concept that works best for piano fantasies), the composer-performer pouring

out his heart in real time. (See drawings of Franz Liszt at the keyboard, his gaze fixed upward at a spot beyond our vision to get the full Romantic meaning of the word.) Schubert is a bit less unstructured in his concept, and while the movements flow from one to the other, there are neat dividing lines. The Andante molto that opens the piece begins with piano fluttering tremolos against which the cello enters, spinning out a melody worthy of the greatest songsmith of his time. In this section the pianist acts more as an accompanying orchestra to the soloist, but after a few cadenza-like phrases for cello and piano, the spirit suddenly changes to a dance, with both instruments trading phrases, the technique becoming more breathtaking as the music continues. The instruments do take a brief breath as the piano sets up the third section, an Andantino series of variations on Schubert’s own Sei mir gegrüsst (Greetings to You). For Schubert to create variations on his own songs was not unusual; he does this in what we now call the “Trout” Quintet (Piano Quintet in A Major, D. 667), so nicknamed after the set of variations on Schubert’s lied Die Forelle in the fourth movement. This movement closes with an echo of the first movement, and that leads to the Finale, an Allegro vivace that races through a Presto to the end.

Like Debussy, DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) was first a pianist. After all, he was able to help support his family by playing piano in the silent movies as a teen. When he finished the opera Lady Macbeth of the Mstensk District in late 1932, he decided to switch gears and took a break to write the 24 PRELUDES FOR PIANO, OP. 34. (There is also a set of 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87, written during the winter of 1950-51.) The little preludes are not meant to be in the style of Bach but rather are little morsels of mood that vary from whimsical to funereal, much as Chopin wrote in his 24 Preludes. Shostakovich was known for being a quick composer, but that he wrote one of these little pieces each day while on winter holiday is a marvel. Russian-born composer, pianist, and

poet LERA AUERBACH (b. 1974), a Juilliard graduate, completed these arrangements for cello and piano; she has also written her own sets of preludes as well as other chamber compositions.

Beethoven called his violin sonatas “Piano Sonatas with Violin Obbligato,” and it might be more realistic if SERGEI RACHMANINOFF had named the CELLO SONATA IN G MINOR, OP. 19 in a similar fashion. But Rachmaninoff can be forgiven the exuberant writing for piano, for he had just finished his very successful Second Piano Concerto, Op. 18, the breakthrough composition following his treatment for depression, and it is no surprise that some of the sweeping lines and pianistic writing are reminiscent of that work. This work, finished during the summer of 1901, is the last chamber music he wrote. Rachmaninoff had written for cello twice before, ignoring other instruments, because he considered the cello an equal to the piano in strength. The scope of the Cello Sonata is grand, with four movements, each major theme being introduced by the piano. Fragments of music from the Lento introduction lead directly to the cello’s soaring first theme of the Allegro moderato. The piano takes the second theme, and the two instruments share the development of these ideas until a flashy cadenza-like piano solo leads to the coda. The second movement, in a melancholy C minor, hardly fits its Allegro scherzando marking, the edginess of the theme relieved by a central section of melting beauty. With a brief Andante the listener is treated again to another of Rachmaninoff’s seemingly endless supply of melodic inventions. The Allegro mosso dashes along, its drive making the virtuoso performance of both players all the more remarkable. The whole piece ends as does the Second Piano Concerto, the brilliance of the entire sonata so fiercely intense and bright that it glows.
