DISC1 | Hidden Treasures
Program
- BEETHOVEN Overture to Fidelio
- TCHAIKOVSKY Variations on a Rococo Theme (original version)
- MAHLER Blumine
- MOZART Symphony No. 31 (Paris)
About
This program showcases lesser-known versions of famous works. Beethoven wrote three overtures to his opera Fidelio, but was still unsatisfied. The concert features his fourth and final version. Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations was altered by the cellist who premiered it, becoming the standard version. The original version of the work as Tchaikovsky composed it will be performed. Mahler’s Blumine was cut by the composer from his Symphony No. 1. In this concert, it stands on its own. Mozart composed two different slow movements for his Symphony No. 31, hoping to generate more audience enthusiasm. Sarasota Orchestra performs both movements, and our audience members will decide which they prefer! -
DISC2 | Copland: An American Journey
Program
- COPLAND Appalachian Spring Suite
- COPLAND Movements and Selections from: Rodeo, Old American Songs, Music for the Theatre, The Red Pony Film Suite, Orchestral Variations
About
Revel in the genius of “the Dean of American composers,” Aaron Copland. Conductor David Alan Miller leads this retrospective of the wide-ranging gifts of the composer whose music is synonymous with America. From the wide-open spaces depicted in his ballet scores Appalachian Spring and Rodeo, to his jazz-infused Music for the Theatre, Copland created a soundtrack of American life that continues to inspire. Audiences will bask in the glory of the Appalachian Spring Suite as originally scored for full orchestra. Hailed for a voice that glows with “perfect enunciation and pleasing warmth” (Boston Musical Intelligencer), bass-baritone William Socolof brings the all charm and grace of Copland’s American folksong arrangements fully to life. -
DISC3 | Unfinished Business
Featuring
Program
- SCHUBERT Symphony No. 8 (Unfinished)
- PERRY Short Piece for Orchestra
- HAYDN Symphony No. 45 (Farewell)
About
Sarasota Orchestra closes its season with a program of works that left the door open for more. No one is certain why Schubert never finished his Eighth Symphony, but the two movements that he did compose remain among his most beloved. Julia Perry’s Short Piece for Orchestra was the first work by a woman of color to be performed by the New York Philharmonic; Perry’s life and career were cut short at age 55. In his Symphony No. 45, Haydn sent a not-so subtle message to his employer that the orchestra was ready for a break. This symphony has delighted audiences for over 250 years and concludes our 76th season with a chuckle as each musician exits the stage in a dramatic send-off.
