UTAH SYMPHONY
Bruckner Symphony No. 9
Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, conductor
Utah Chamber Artists, soloists
Barlow Bradford, Utah Chamber Artists Artistic Director
Few composers interweave spirituality and music like Bach and Bruckner did. This concert pairs Bach’s religious Choral Motet with Bruckner’s Symphony dedicated “to the beloved God.”
PROGRAM:
BACH: Motet No. 3 in E Minor, BWV. 227 (“Jesu, meine Freude”)
BRUCKNER: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Stanislaw Skrowaczewski commands a rare position in the international musical scene as both a major conducting figure and a highly regarded composer. Skrowaczewski’s interpretations of the Bruckner symphonies have earned him the Gold Medal of the Mahler-Bruckner Society, while his programming of contemporary music at the Minnesota Orchestra has been acknowledged with five ASCAP awards. An extensive discography includes recordings for RCA, Philips, CBS, Denon, EMI/Angel, Mercury, Vox, Erato, Muza, Arte Nova and Oehms Classics. Many celebrated earlier recordings have been re-released on CD and his digital recordings of Shostakovich, Brahms and particularly Bruckner have received highest praise. Skrowaczewski’s recordings of Bruckner's 11 symphonies and Beethoven’s 9 symphonies with the Saarlændischer Rundfunk Orchestra for Arte Nova have received enormous critical acclaim, with the Bruckner receiving the Cannes 2002 Award for Best Orchestral Recording of 18th/19th Century Orchestral Work. Other recent releases include Shostakovich’s First and Sixth Symphonies with the Halle Orchestra on their own label and Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony with the Deutsche Symphonie Orchester Berlin, recorded live in concert in 2003.
Utah Chamber Artists, based in Salt Lake City, was established in 1991 by Music Director, Barlow Bradford. The ensemble is comprised of forty singers and forty players who together create a balance and sonority rarely found in a combined choir and orchestra. Besides presenting the traditional and revered repertoire of the past, the group provides audiences with the finest contemporary works and regularly commissions new music.
Founded in 1940, the Utah Symphony has become an eminent presence in the American music scene through its distinctive performances worldwide and its well-known recording legacy. Previous to its official founding, the Utah Symphony’s first incarnation was as a Works Progress Administration Orchestra from 1935 to 1940.
The orchestra became recognized as a leading ensemble largely through the efforts of Maurice Abravanel, its Music Director from 1947 to 1979. Under his direction, the orchestra made its first recordings of works by Varese, Milhaud, Gottschalk, Honegger and Satie, as well as the first full set of the Mahler Symphonies.
Under Joseph Silverstein, whose tenure as Music Director began in 1983, and Keith Lockhart, Music Director from 1998 to 2009, the orchestra has continued its commitment to the music of our time, recording and premiering a number of great American works.
