Heifetz) March, Op. 12, No. 1 PROKOFIEV (arr. Heifetz) March from The Love for Three Oranges Program Notes: The Concert at a Glance Next to the human voice, the violin is the most expressive musical instrument, with a wide range of sounds and colors through which a composer can convey ideas or emotions. Separated by two centuries and many stylistic transformations, the works in this program share a common achievement: beauty of musical thought and sound, from the uncomplicated, open simplicity of Mozart to the sophisticated and technically demanding imagination of Prokofiev. Mozart’s three polished sonatas were written in 1778, when the composer was barely in his 20s. They exemplify the classic grace for which he is renowned, yet a disturbing note enters with the E-Minor Sonata—written at time when, during a trip to Paris, Mozart’s mother died. That disturbing quality runs through much of Prokofiev’s famous Sonata in F Minor, which, though an offshoot of the classical sonata that Mozart helped to codify, unleashes the expressionist angst of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Gil Shaham performs Brahms' "Violin Concerto in D Major." GREAT PERFORMANCES : How did you get involved with the Europakonzert in Palermo? Gil Shaham : I guess there's a little bit of a back story. I had played the Brahms concerto with Maestro Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic a couple of years before, and it was part of a larger project. I guess they were doing a Brahms cycle for many years, recording all of the orchestral works the symphonies, the serenades and we were doing the violin concerto and the double concerto for violin and cello. We did the violin concerto, and I guess, for me, it was really like a dream come true. Such a first-class, top-notch orchestra, and Maestro Abbado is somebody I've always admired, somebody I've always loved to work with. We recorded the violin concerto, and I remember that afterwards he had a very scary illness and we didn't know if we would continue, and he pulled out of it heroically and a couple of years later we did the double concerto. This was actually his final tour with the orchestra, and so I was very honored and happy to be a part of that tour, and especially that concert in Palermo. I guess that's kind of how it came about. GP : Since it was Claudio Abbado's final tour, did you feel any more emotional weight to the performance at Palermo?

Watch the Berlin Philharmonic perform the overture to Verdi's "Sicilian Vespers." Berlin Philharmonic Sony Classical: Claudio Abbado Deutsche Grammophon: Gil Shaham Teatro Massimo Performed in a different European city each year, the incomparable Berlin Philharmonic's annual Europakonzert commemorates the orchestra's 1882 founding while celebrating the cultural life of the European community. From the elegant Teatro Massimo opera house in Palermo, Sicily, the 2002 concert features sensational violinist Gil Shaham joining conductor Claudio Abbado in a performance of Johannes Brahms 's "Symphony No. 9, From the New World," as well as the dramatic overture to Giuseppe Verdi 's "Sicilian Vespers." And, leaving the opera house on an intermission stroll, GREAT PERFORMANCES offers viewers a tour of Palermo, showcasing the glorious architecture, lively markets, and musical heritage that have made it one of Italy's most vibrant cities. Maestro Abbado led the Berlin Philharmonic as they inaugurated the Europakonzert series at Prague's Smetana Hall in 1991, so it seems fitting that he has chosen this Europakonzert, in his native Italy, for his last televised concert as the principal conductor and artistic director of the orchestra. Learn more about Claudio Abbado, who made his conducting debut at Milan's La Scala in 1960; the Berlin Philharmonic; violinist Gil Shaham; and the music from the evening's program in the essay by writer Fred Plotkin.

N ovember 2003: Henry Doktorski appeared as guest accordionist with violinist Gil Shaham and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in two performances of Carlos Gardel's Por Una Cabeza arranged by John Williams. The concerts, on November 28 and 29, 2003 at the Heinz Center for the Performing Arts in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were conducted by PSO music director Mariss Jansons. Composed in 1935 by the great French-born Argentinean tango composer, singer and actor, Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Por Una Cabeza bemoans the composer's lack of fortune, both in wagering on horses and love. This sensuous tango was featured in Gardel's 1935 film, Tango Bar, released three months before his tragic and untimely death in a plane crash. Nearly a half-century later, Por Una Cabeza became famous by its performance in the 1992 Hollywood film, Scent of a Woman

Gil Shaham Violin Boyd Hagen At age 33 violinist Gil Shaham is internationally recognised by noted critics and leaders of the world's most celebrated symphonic ensembles as a veteran virtuoso of the instrument. He began his studies at the age of seven, making his orchestral debut with the Jerusalem Symphony and Israel Philharmonic, aged ten. Continuing his studies at the Julliard he made two dramatic, highly praised appearances in 1989 when he took over on a day's notice, from an ailing Itzhak Perlman. Since then his career has blossomed and he has been acclaimed consistently for his performances with the leading US orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony. Recitals and other orchestral engagements have taken him to music capitals worldwide and he is a regular visitor to summer festivals including Mostly Mozart and the Hollywood Bowl. Gil Shaham has recorded much of the central violin repertoire both solo and orchestral and his most recent release is The Fauré Album (Canary Classics/Artemis Classics), featuring the first violin sonata (with pianist Akira Eguchi) and several shorter works. His recording of the Barber and Korngold concertos with Andre Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra was nominated for a Grammy award in 1995.

A View from the Stands Grammy-nominated violinist plays at Royce Hall MUSIC: Though only 29, Shaham is already experienced performer of works from Beethoven to Bach By Barbara McGuire Daily Bruin Contributor Violinist Gil Shaham thinks luck is what kept him from playing on any street corners to pay rent. But his natural ability to manipulate a violin bow has just as much shaped what is a prestigious repertoire. But in making waves in the musical scene since age 10, Shaham has more than just luck ­ he has a discipline which has enabled him to skip over this "stepping stone" in the life of a musician. Shaham compares his musical discipline, coupled with its prestige and difficulty, to the job of an actor. "I guess what we do is we're sort of like actors. We get a script and we try to bring it to life for an audience," Shaham said in a recent phone interview.

Biographies Gil Shaham Violinist Gil Shaham is internationally recognized by audiences and many noted critics as one of today's most virtuosic and engaging classical artists. He is sought after throughout the world for concerto appearances with celebrated orchestras as well as for recital and ensemble appearances on the great concert stages and at the most prestigious festivals. Highlights of Mr. Shaham's 2002-03 season included a trio tour of North America with pianist Yefim Bronfman and cellist Truls Mørk, and a series of recitals in Europe with guitarist Goran Söllscher. He also gave solo recitals in the Far East and the United States and made numerous orchestral appearances throughout the world. Gil Shaham won a Grammy Award in 1999 for his recital album "American Scenes" with André Previn at the piano. Other recent releases include a Bartok disc (the Violin Concerto No. 2 and the two Rhapsodies for Violin and Orchestra) with Pierre Boulez and the Chicago Symphony, which earned two Grammy nominations; and an Arvo Pärt recording, on which Mr. Shaham performed "Tabula Rasa" and "Fratres III." His most recent releases are Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time" with Myung-Whun Chung, Mischa Maisky and Paul Meyer; and "Devil's Dance," a disc of showpieces with pianist Jonathan Feldman. Mr. Shaham was born in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, in 1971. In 1973 he moved with his parents to Israel, where at the age of 7 he began violin studies with Samuel Bernstein of the Rubin Academy of Music and was immediately granted annual scholarships by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. In 1981, while studying with Haim Taub in Jerusalem, he made debuts with the Jerusalem Symphony and the Israel Philharmonic. That same year he began his studies with Dorothy DeLay and Jens Ellerman at Aspen.

He has also studied at Columbia University.

Gil Shaham, violin < img src='http://frenchculture1.sitetracker.com/cgi-bin/sitestats.gif/img' border=0> Winners of a free CD of DN of Takoma Park, MD DC of New York, NY JB of Cambridge, MA About this Recording "The Fauré Album," available on Shaham's own Canary Classics label ("Canar" is the Hebrew word for "violinist") in association with Vanguard Classics, features the Grammy Award-winning violinist, long-time recital partner pianist Akira Eguchi, and cellist Brinton Smith in performances of the composer's early Sonata No. 1 in A Major for Violin and Piano, the late Trio for Piano, Cello and Violin, and nine short works including the popular "Après un rêve" ("After A Dream") in a transcription for trio by Akira Eguchi. Shaham views Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) as the "unsung hero" of French music, a modest master whose works - particularly the chamber music - and personality are still greatly misunderstood and underappreciated despite the popularity of works like the Requiem. Shaham comments: "I've loved Fauré's music since the first time I heard it. It's an unmistakable voice: elegant and tender, conveying the subtlest emotion, and yet very passionate and at times intense. I'd like to think that this album will draw attention to one of classical music's unsung heroes and help new listeners discover the timeless beauty of his creations."
