Extractions: January 26, 2002 With this week's performances of Gustav Mahler's Seventh Symphony, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and music director Neeme Jarvi have reached the halfway point in their Mahler cycle. The Fifth, Ninth, Second, First and Seventh symphonies have been checked off the list (in that order), and the monumental song cycle "Das Lied von der Erde" will be heard in May. The series is deepening in expression and nuance as Jarvi and the DSO travel further into Mahler's sprawling universe of emotion and sonority nostalgia and nightmare, soulfulness and satire, orchestral rocketry and calm are all but a heartbeat apart. The Seventh, the most delphian of Mahler's symphonies, is the least programmatic, philosophical or autobiographical. Its five movements do trace a path of darkness to daylight, but this is as close as Mahler came to absolute music. The work's lack of cosmic implications played to both the strengths and weaknesses of Jarvi's intuitive approach on Thursday. With no specific tale to tell, Jarvi could indulge Mahler's fantastic playground of color and character. Jarvi almost whipped the marches into muscular dances. He italicized the skirls of woodwinds and dreamlike atmospherics in the night music. He leaned into the humorous scherzo and cast a seductive gaze on the exotic music of violin, harp, guitar and mandolin. The DSO played at its most expressive; solos percolated with personality.
NEEME JÄRVI - Conductor | Dirigent As preface to the Mahler, the 18year-old German violinist julia Fischeroffered a technically refined account of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. http://www.neemejarvi.com/011.htm
Extractions: Just as he did with Stravinsky's Rite of Spring in November, in his first appearance with the DSO since suffering a stroke in July, Jarvi shaped a performance of Mahler's huge, often bizarre symphony that managed to illuminate the work without sacrificing its wildness or its ambiguity. The Seventh Symphony, which Mahler completed in 1908, bears comparison with Stravinsky's notoriously challenging Rite of Spring ballet of 1913. Perhaps it's the combination of Mahler's demonic syncopations and the work's crazy mood swings that has kept the Seventh from winning the public affection lavished on his other symphonies.

Women In Music Courses At Agnes Scott College female brass player Susan Welty, violinist Alice Oglesby by Johnson and French professorJulia de Pree Peter Wapnewski (Frankfurt am Main fischer Bucherei, 1966 http://music.acu.edu/www/iawm/articles/feb97/johnson.html
Extractions: It should come as no surprise that a women's liberal arts college might offer a course in "women in music" or that the applied music students and faculty might learn and perform works by female composers. What is surprising is that until ten years ago at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, it was the rare exception for a female composer to be assigned or programmed. Not only were works by women never mentioned in music history or theory courses, but the only library book on the topic of women in music was George Upton's Women and Music, with its nineteenth-century attitude that women were incapable of composing and should restrict their musical endeavors to salon music and supporting their male friends and relatives who composed. Much has changed in the last ten years at academic institutions nationwide. Although developments at this suburban Atlanta four-year college closely resemble those at similar institutions, others are no doubt unique or at least unusual, and might be of interest to colleagues in higher education. Women's Studies was slow in coming to Agnes Scott, with the first course being offered in 1978, the first director of Women's Studies being appointed in 1989, and a minor being offered for the first time the same year. The first concert on campus devoted solely to female composers was given by organist-harpsichordist Calvert Johnson in February 1988. Assisting was flutist Carol Lyn Butcher, who presented her own program devoted to works by women the following October, accompanied by Johnson. Since then, most of the applied music faculty have routinely assigned works by women to their students, and both student and faculty recitals have included compositions by women as a normal procedure to the point that it is simply not novel anymore to hear a composition by a woman.

Intro The other revelation of the evening was the excellent playing of JuliaFischer, a 19year old German violinist, in the Sibelius. http://www.hoertnagel.de/agentur/NewYork_js.htm
Extractions: Giving away the ending is not usually a concern in reviewing an orchestral program, especially one that consists entirely of chestnuts. But readers who plan to attend the remaining concert of the New York Philharmonic's current series at Avery Fisher Hall tonight and would like to discover the nice little surprise at the end for themselves should report back here tomorrow. Certainly no great revelations were expected of a program consisting of Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet," Sibelius's Violin Concerto and Stravinsky's "Petrouchka" on Saturday, nor did any occur. But small relationships between even familiar pieces often go unnoticed unless the works are juxtaposed and the relationships brought out clearly. So it proved a delight, at the end of "Petrouchka," to find oneself transported by the texture of the swaying woodwind figures right back to the world of "Romeo and Juliet." The surprise is necessarily modest, since Tchaikovsky's influence on the young Stravinsky is well known. Lorin Maazel, who conducted, is a brilliant tactician, and he was undoubtedly aware of the connection in building the program. In any case, the crystal clarity that he brings to so much of his work pointed it out.
