Le tre citt\u00e0 ricostruiscono l&#8217;itinerario artistico e sentimentale del maestro a Napoli \u00e8 nato, ha studiato e si \u00e8 formato, a Firenze ha preso il via, giovanissimo, la sua ascesa professionale &#8211; ma \u00e8 a Milano, alla Scala, dove ha trascorso il capitolo pi\u00f9 lungo della sua carriera, e dove ha regalato al pubblico in 20 anni un carnet fulminante operistico e sinfonico.<\/p>\n<p>APPLAUSI<br \/>\nEd \u00e8 alla Scala che il pubblico si \u00e8 lasciato prendere dal trasporto, riservandogli un&#8217;accoglienza da figliol prodigo. Scrosci di applausi e standing ovations, urla di bravo e ben tornato maestro. \u00abCome tornare a casa &#8211; ha detto dopo il concerto &#8211; Tornare sul palco lasciato da tanti anni \u00e8 stato come continuare un cammino interrotto perch\u00e9 il mio amore per questo palco e questa citt\u00e0 non \u00e8 mai terminato\u00bb. Il programma scaligero era lo stesso eseguito due sere prima a Firenze l&#8217;Ouverture dall&#8217;opera di Richard Wagner <em>L&#8217;Olandese Volante<\/em>, la Sinfonia <em>Mathis il pittore<\/em> di Paul Hindemith e nella seconda parte dopo l&#8217;intervallo la Sinfonia n. 3 di Serghei Prokofiev, un colosso sinfonico dove l&#8217;orchestra ha potuto dispiegare tutta la maestosit\u00e0 degli ottoni e degli archi.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b5111b;\">It is at La Scala that the audience let itself be overcome with emotion, welcoming [Riccardo Muti] like the prodigal son with a burst of thunderous applause and a standing ovation, shouts of\u00a0<i>Bravo<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Welcome back, Maestro.\u00a0<\/i>\u201cIt felt like coming back home &#8211; he said after the concert &#8211; Going back on the stage I left many years ago was like keeping on a path I never strayed from, because my love for this stage and this city never faded.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Flaminia Bussotti, <em>Il Messaggero, <\/em>January 23, 2020<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"16\" data-lineheight=\"24\">The great (and touching) return of Muti <strong>\u00abI was hugged by the entire Scala<\/strong><strong>\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 data-fontsize=\"16\" data-lineheight=\"24\"><strong>Il grande (e commosso) ritorno di Muti \u00abSono stato abbracciato da tutta la Scala\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 by Piera Anna Franini | January 24, 2020<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b5111b;\">Inside the article you can find the free translation of a few sentences in red<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Quando Riccardo Muti si rivolge al pubblico della Scala per annunciare il bis, la voce tradisce l\u2019emozione. Quello di mercoled\u00ec scorso non \u00e8 il Muti visto a Firenze o a Napoli, per citare le precedenti tappe del tour chiuso ieri a Lugano. \u00c8 commosso. Ha appena diretto la Chicago Symphony, da dieci anni la sua orchestra e con la quale \u00e8 puro idillio. Sono i vent\u2019anni al timone della Scala a provocare l\u2019emozione che la voce, vero specchio dell\u2019anima, ci riconsegna. Anche i musicisti suonano con una partecipazione e un calore particolari: sentono il significato della tappa milanese. Nel parterre, il ministro della Cultura accolto dal sovrintendete Dominique Meyer che spera di avere di nuovo Muti alla Scala \u00abperch\u00e9 \u00e8 tempo di rappacificamento e di chiusura di vecchie ferite\u00bb. Quindi il sindaco, il pianista Maurizio Pollini, l\u2019architetto Mario Botta. Quanto all\u2019imprenditoria, fra gli altri Miuccia Prada e Massimo Perotti della Sanlorenzo. Finito il concerto, un successo, Muti rimane in teatro per un\u2019altra ora e mezza. Incontra i ragazzi di Un Coro in Citt\u00e0, progetto dell\u2019Accademia scaligera e Tim. \u00abVi raccomando. Cantate ascoltando gli altri. L\u2019armonia \u00e8 quella che ci guida nella nostra so\u2026?\u00bb. E i bimbi: \u00ab\u2026ciet\u00e0!\u00bb. Il direttore prosegue: \u00abLa musica \u00e8 importante non per fare do re mi fa, ma perch\u00e9 cantare e suonare insieme, in armonia, \u00e8 l\u2019esempio che dovrebbe avere una societ\u00e0 civile. Purtroppo molti ancora non l\u2019hanno capito, e non solamente adesso ma da generazioni e generazioni: parlo delle persone che dovrebbero guidare il Paese. Per questo crediamo nel vostro lavoro, nell\u2019amore per la musica. Ci vedremo pi\u00f9 avanti, io sar\u00f2 un po\u2019 pi\u00f9 corto e voi un po\u2019 pi\u00f9 grandi\u00bb.<br \/>\nNel foyer, coda per la firma dei dischi. Un respiro. E la confessione. \u00abSono stato abbracciato dal teatro. Accolto da musicisti, membri del coro, macchinisti, tecnici e portieri con un affetto e un calore come se fossi andato via ieri. Sembra una frase retorica, ma la realt\u00e0 \u00e8 che per me \u00e8 stato un ritorno a casa. Questo affetto mi ha dato una grande gioia. Quando sono salito sul palco, era come se stessi continuando un cammino mai interrotto, come se non fossero trascorsi 20 anni. Del resto, nel mio cuore l\u2019amore per questo teatro non si \u00e8 mai interrotto. Non rinnego neanche un giorno. C\u2019\u00e8 una storia di 50 opere, dischi, concerti. Vent\u2019anni di vita di un artista non si dimenticano. E il fatto che alla fine l\u2019orchestra non si sia voluta alzare, cosa che non fa mai, \u00e8 stato per dire al pubblico di Milano: \u201cQuesto \u00e8 il nostro direttore. Voi lo amate, noi lo amiamo\u201d\u00bb.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b5111b;\">\u201cI was hugged by the entire theater. Welcomed by musicians, members of the chorus, stagehands, technicians and janitors with such an affection and warmth as if I had left yesterday. This might seem <span style=\"font-family: Karla; font-size: medium;\">rhetoric, but the truth is that to me it was like returning home. This fondness brought me great joy. When I went on stage it felt like walking along a path I had never left. As if 20 years had never passed. After all, in my heart the love for this theater never died. I do not disown a single day. Our history counts 50 operas, discs, concerts. Twenty years life of an artist can\u2019t simply be forgotten. And the fact that in the end the orchestra decided not to stand up, which they never do, was to tell the audience: \u201cThis is our conductor. You love him, we love him.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Robert Chen, da 21 anni primo violino della Chicago Symphony, lo ammette: \u00abSiamo tristi all\u2019idea che il mandato di Muti si concluda nel 2022. Per\u00f2, il Maestro ha un\u2019et\u00e0 in cui pu\u00f2 permettersi di dire: \u201cAdesso basta\u201d, liberandosi dal gioco delle responsabilit\u00e0. Lascer\u00e0 un\u2019orchestra in ottima forma, senza rimpianti e frizioni\u00bb. Gi\u00e0 si \u00e8 costituita una commissione per individuare il successore, \u00abma \u00e8 difficile trovare un cos\u00ec grande musicista. A Chicago siamo grati a Muti: avrebbe potuto fare tante cose, e accett\u00f2 di lavorare con noi. \u00c8 stato un bel decennio, siamo molto legati a lui. Si presenta alle prove sempre super-preparato. Chiede tanto, affronta ogni situazione con estrema seriet\u00e0, ma sa anche sciogliere la tensione\u00bb.<br \/>\nChi \u00e8 Muti? \u00abUna combinazione di intelletto, brillantezza, capacit\u00e0 di comando. E carisma: tanto carisma\u00bb. Non lo dice l\u2019appassionato di musica o il critico (spesso) ignaro di studi musicali. Lo dice Robert Chen, numero uno di un\u2019orchestra nella top 5 al mondo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Piera Anna Franini,\u00a0<em>Il Giornale, <\/em>January 24, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Watch the

Valerio Cappelli | January 02, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Ten years after his appointment as Music Director, on the 9<sup>th<\/sup> of this month Riccardo Muti starts a European tour with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO): on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> there\u2019s a stopover in Vienna, where he will eventually conduct the 2021 New Year\u2019s Concert. The tour will touch Italy: on the 19<sup>th<\/sup> at the San Carlo of Naples, on the 20<sup>th<\/sup> at the Opera of Florence, and on the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> at La Scala.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Maestro, how did you choose the Italian cities?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abThose are the fundamental ones for me: the first one is the city where I was born and graduated in piano; the second is where, in 1968, at the Maggio in Florence, everything started, and they talk of a <em>Boccanegra<\/em> directed by me. Milan is the city of the long La Scala period of which I don\u2019t regret anything, not even one day; the memory of important things is very much alive in me and nobody can erase it. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Chicago, you\u2019re only the tenth Music Director in 129 years of life of the CSO.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abI\u2019ve inherited a great orchestra, maybe the most charismatic and famous in the US. It\u2019s had an essence of very important directors, of a German mold. It was created in 1891 by Theodore Thomas\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it true that they used to speak German before English?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abThe CSO programs that I\u2019ve seen in the archive were printed in German. Frederick Stock, Thomas\u2019 successor, was his fellow countryman and directed the world first performance of Casella\u2019s Third Symphony, after meeting him in Venice. Many premieres in the US took place in Chicago. The CSO had as Music Directors not talented artists at the beginning of their career but Kubelik, Solti, Baremboim and, during a transition period, Haitink and Boulez -all giants of interpretation. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p><strong>And your appointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abI didn\u2019t want to have steady institutional commitments after London, Florence, Philadelphia and La Scala. I had declined the leadership of the New York Philharmonic twice. In 2007, after a 34 year long gap, I directed the CSO in a tour. It was an extraordinary match\u2026 on the artistic and human level. I received sixty letters from musicians of the Orchestra in which they expressed their joy. I went back there soon for a concert and then I agreed to become their director.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And the work in Chicago?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abThe Orchestra is famous for its brass section, and Solti pushed it towards the vigor and the emphasis of powerful sound. Barenboim developed more balance with bows and woodwinds. Through the Italian opera that the orchestra loves so much (we did <em>Macbeth<\/em>, <em>Falstaff<\/em>, <em>Otello<\/em> and in a month\u00a0we\u2019ll do <em>Cavalleria Rusticana<\/em>), I have added the phrasing and clarity of sound lacking in the past.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago paved the way to many women musicians.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abThe first African American director, Harris, made her debut in \u201971 in Chicago; in \u201841 the horn player Helen Kotas became first horn, which had never happened before. Although in the cinema Chicago is identified with gangsters, it\u2019s the heart of America, modern, dynamic, where great architecture and universities were born. And it\u2019s extremely clean, if I think of Rome\u2026\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking of Italy, are you strengthening your relationship with your Naples?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abI speak the Neapolitan dialect quite well, I attended the Vittorio Emanuele high school where, in the entrance hall there\u2019s a commemorative plaque with some famous alumni; I\u2019m among them, too. The doorman told me: Maestro you\u2019re in front of me, every day. At school they taught us to bad-mouth the Bourbons who were extraordinary for culture. The San Carlo Theater was built in nine months. Opening up to the future, one shouldn\u2019t forget about one\u2019s roots. In Naples there\u2019s a cultural center, a theater, the Conservatory where there are thousands of forgotten music scores waiting to be discovered, the Girolamini library: they can be connected to create a great art center. The past can become the driving force of the future. It\u2019s the city where Mozart wanted his genius to be recognized. In a letter to his father, he writes: even if they don\u2019t pay much, a performance in Naples is worth one hundred in Germany.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They talk of your Don Giovanni at the San Carlo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abNext November I will conduct a concert in 2021, <em>Don Giovanni<\/em> with the artistic direction by Chiara, my daughter; who, though having her own independence and freedom, will never do anything provocative, since she grew up in Strehler\u2019s artistic world. It\u2019s the most enigmatic, mysterious opera, even obscure in some points. During the dress rehearsal, in 1987, at La Scala theater, Strehler told me, disheartened: we didn\u2019t do Don Giovanni. And nobody will ever do it! \u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And an opera in Milan?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abI highly respect Dominique Meyer, the new director, whom I\u2019ve known for many years; it\u2019s important that he continues along an international path and I wish him the best for his work. Will I go back for an opera? For now, I\u2019m going back with the Chicago Orchestra. I spent twenty years of my life in Milan, I love the Milanese audience and I\u2019m saying it without any sycophancy. In the infamous ranking of applause, the opera that deserves the first place was Gluck\u2019s Armida, not Verdi. I\u2019m going back to La Scala very happily, taking the orchestra of my heart to the theater of my heart.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the USA you\u2019re bonded until 2022: would you rule out the possibility of a third renewal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abOne should never rule out anything. I\u2019ve already extended it, on their request. In \u201922 we will come back for the festivals: Salzburg, Lucerne, London. I\u2019d like to be free, too, despite the fact that\u2019s an extraordinary relationship. There are other ways to remain bonded.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Valerio Cappelli, <em>Il Corriere della Sera, <\/em>January 02,<em> 2020<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A World Class Orchestra in Cologne The Ultimate in Orchestral Art<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; by Wolfram Goertz | January 10, 2020<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Translation by M. Falkenberg<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are very good orchestras. There are excellent orchestras. There are great orchestras. And then there is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a rarity in the international classic jet set to find an orchestra of sometimes almost uncanny competence; an occasion for hysteria even among seasoned fans. The CSO could play the two-hour suite &#8220;The Gates of Tashkent&#8221; by the Uzbek composer Rustam Yanovski, and the concert would still be sold out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time it was at the Cologne Philharmonic\u2014the CSO&#8217;s first concert there in 20 years\u2014where the musicians from Lake Michigan played Sergei Prokofiev&#8217;s Symphony No. 3 in C minor, a tough, seemingly impenetrable work that you are not likely to put into your CD player at home. It was a revelation in concert because two things came together that gave the interpretation a huge boost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the one hand, there was the orchestra&#8217;s icy coldness\u2014fueling enthusiasm in the audience\u2014which did not miss a nuance of the timbres, rhythms, or the brittle melodic structure. The scherzo&#8217;s almost phosphorescent sound was overwhelming (it could undoubtedly function as a soundtrack for the shower scene in &#8220;Psycho&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, you were able to experience the suggestiveness resulting from the calmness of the great Riccardo Muti conveyed at the stand. The performance was uninhibited, it was not as if it had the label &#8220;thriller&#8221; attached to it; instead, it was as if you were standing in a mountain stream, enjoying the music, which flooded imperceptibly until you suddenly stood up to your neck in the water. The cinematographic force of this approach was overpowering in a humane way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the break\u2014it was an all-Prokofiev evening\u2014&#8221;Romeo and Juliet&#8221; was given, of which there is a brilliant, five-year-old recording with CSO and Muti. Again, Muti did not perform like an actor who wants to prove to the audience how fit and agile he is at 78, but rather, he demonstrated through sovereignty that the story about Romeo and Juliet also has a noble side and is not only dripping with heartache or vibrating with passion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CSO, once again spectacular with luxury and brilliance, moved through the story highlighting countless precious details that you would like to tell your grandchildren or godchildren about on the morning after the concert. Already the beginning with the cilia-fine chords from the strings or the moments of perfectly absorbed violence in &#8220;Tybalt&#8217;s Death&#8221; made it clear how high the bar had been set in Verona that evening. Applause by a profoundly shaken audience was followed by an encore of Scriabin&#8217;s &#8220;R\u00eaverie.&#8221; Yes, we will dream of this concert for a long time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Wolfram Goertz, <em>RP Online, <\/em>January 10, 2020<\/p>\n<p>The original article:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>K\u00f6ln.

Das CSO k\u00f6nnte im Konzert die zweist\u00fcndige Suite \u201eAn der Stadtmauer von Taschkent\u201c des usbekischen Komponisten Rustam Yanovsky spielen, es w\u00e4re trotzdem ausverkauft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"park-article-content\">\n<p class=\"text\">Diesmal in der K\u00f6lner Philharmonie \u2013 dem ersten Konzert des CSO dort seit 19 Jahren \u2013 spielten die musizierenden Kapit\u00e4ne vom Michigansee nach der Pause die Symphonie Nr. 3 c-Moll von Serge Prokofieff, ein z\u00e4hes, undurchdringlich wirkendes Werk, das man sich daheim kaum freiwillig in den CD-Player legen w\u00fcrde. Im Konzert war es eine Offenbarung, weil zwei Dinge zusammenkamen, die der Interpretation einen gewaltigen Schub verpassten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"park-article-content\">\n<p class=\"text\">Zum einen war da die den H\u00f6rer schier erhitzende Eisesk\u00e4lte des Orchesters, das sich keine Nuance der Klangfarben, der Rhythmen, der spr\u00f6den Melodik entgehen lie\u00df. Der fast phosphoreszierende Sound des Scherzos \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigte (das fraglos als Soundtrack f\u00fcr die Duschszene in \u201ePsycho\u201c \u00a0funktionieren k\u00f6nnte).<\/p>\n<div class=\"park-article-content\">\n<p class=\"text_ohne_einzug\">Zugleich erlebte man die Suggestivit\u00e4t der Gelassenheit, die der gro\u00dfe Riccardo Muti am Pult vermittelte. Das Musizieren krampfte nicht, es hing nicht das Etikett \u201eThriller\u201c dran, vielmehr stand man in einem Bach, genoss die Musik, die aber derart unmerklich anflutete, dass man pl\u00f6tzlich bis zum Hals im Wasser stand. Die cinematografische Wucht dieses Zugriffs war auf humane Weise niederschmetternd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"park-article-content\">\n<p class=\"text\">Vor der Pause \u2013 es war ein reiner Prokofieff-Abend \u2013 erklang die \u201eRomeo und Julia\u201c-Suite, von der ein bravour\u00f6ser, f\u00fcnf Jahre alter Mitschnitt mit CSO und Muti vorliegt. Abermals gab Muti nicht den Schauspieler, der dem Publikum beweisen will, wie fit und wendig er mit 78 Jahren noch ist, sondern machte durch Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t klar, dass die Geschichte um Romeo und Julia auch eine noble, adlige Seite hat und nicht nur vor Herzschmerz trieft, vor Leidenschaft vibriert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"park-article-content\">\n<p class=\"text\">Das CSO, abermals \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigend durch Luxus und Brillanz, durchma\u00df die Story mit zahllosen kostbaren Details, von denen man den Enkeln oder Patenkindern am Morgen nach dem Konzert sofort erz\u00e4hlen m\u00f6chte. Schon der Beginn mit den flimmerh\u00e4rchenfeinen Streicherakkorden oder die Momente der perfekt abgefederten Gewalt in \u201eTybalts Tod\u201c machten klar, wie hoch die Laternen von Verona an diesem Abend hingen. Ersch\u00fctterter Beifall, als Zugabe Skrjabins \u201eR\u00eaverie\u201c. Ja, von diesem Konzert werden wir noch lange tr\u00e4umen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Wolfram Goertz, <em>RP Online, <\/em>January 10, 2020<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For the Echo Chamber of the Soul<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; by Malte Hemmerich | January 11, 2020<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Translation by M. Falkenberg<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra start their tour in Cologne.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seldom does a beginning captivate in such an unconditional way: at the moment at which Riccardo Muti lifts the baton in the Cologne Philharmonic Hall, smiles quietly but surely, and a dissonant and stratified chord hits the pit of the stomach in a manner both well prepared and unexpectedly, the audience is completely banned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sergei Prokofiev&#8217;s &#8220;Romeo and Juliet&#8221; is played here in a relatively free succession, highlights from the suites that the composer put together from his ballet music. And even if it is a bit lurid: it is not just the exuberant savoring of composed effects that makes this first half of the concert so attractive. Prokofiev&#8217;s ballet suites offer a lot of possibilities to play with contrasts, to switch to other tempos, colors, moods at lightning speed. The musical sections themselves are fleeting. If you have just grasped them with your ear, the individual movements are usually already over.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the start of their European tour, which will take them to Paris next, Muti and his musicians don&#8217;t build small fires. Their warmth is more permanent than that of a smoldering piece of coal and wanders from the madrigal, into the minuet, and then into the mask dance. And yes, the musicians from Chicago play the suite in a mercilessly late romantic style. At the climax, the movement at which Shakespeare&#8217;s balcony scene can be imagined, &#8220;melting&#8221; can be experienced in all its complexity: almost dripping with sound, emotionally tear-inducing, but also structurally transparent. It is the themes of the lovers themselves that merge here &#8211; and this can be heard with captivating clarity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right from the start, every affect is placed right where it belongs, grows with the individual instruments, it is enjoyable to follow the changes in character of the woodwinds, like those of a fleeting but sympathetic acquaintance, because as such the clarinet had already been introduced in &#8220;Juliet as a Young Girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this European tour, Riccardo Muti is also celebrating his tenth anniversary as chief conductor of the orchestra, one of the, if not the top American orchestra. And like many famous predecessors, he shaped his musicians to new excellence, and even drilled them. Control is part of the concept for success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freewheeling is only granted for fractions of a second: A step forward on the desk is a recurring process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equally striking is the intense look at the soloist during solo passages or the restarting after general breaks. Then you can see an impulsive shake of the head when the cellos in the Andante of Prokofiev&#8217;s third symphony start too roughly, but mostly a generous smile, during the viola solo or when the orchestra&#8217;s infamous brass section can get started: fruits of years of collaboration can be harvested now with a loose flick of the wrist or with raising of an eyebrow, and it is a pleasure to listen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Far from the intention of making a name for themselves with programs or even promoting them, the orchestra and Muti in Europe will perform Hindemith&#8217;s symphony &#8220;Mathias the Painter&#8221; or a pure Prokofiev program, like here in Cologne. His third symphony, premiered in 1929, deals with themes from the opera &#8220;The Fiery Angel&#8221; which did not make it to the stage during the composer\u2019s lifetime but is currently often staged. Muti actually makes the symphony the main attraction of the evening after the tasty bait of ballet music. The first movement combines a cross section of the opera motifs into a classic sonata form. That might sound bulky if it were not for the violins, which can release melodic magic at almost every turn. But not only the charm, also the lucidity of making music is a blessing for the ears, even if, at the beginning of the first movement, the desired experience of being overwhelmed by this expressive conglomerate is somewhat lost. Towards the end of the beginning of the symphony, there is more and more experimentation with expansions and contractions of time, and boisterous moments of bringing sounds into clearer focus, which, however, appear self-evidently true after the fact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, it seems that Muti needs to exude positive tension, especially during the quieter parts: when the effect of the music can be carried less naturally by the effect of the brass coming to the fore or the virtuoso strings. But even in the third movement\u2014there is no closed melody, only two diffuse gestures\u2014the piece moves us: through the sound. Horns, trumpets and trombones that appear again and again out of the string figures, crowning them like spray in the surf, cause goose bumps. Hardly anyone in the hall will not want to get further to the bottom of this work by Prokofiev afterwards, and the music will reverberate in each one of them for quite some time.
