Info zu Lorraine: Works by JS Bach

Die amerikanische Mezzosopranistin Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, geb. 1954 in San Francisco, gest. in Santa Fe 2006, erlangte während ihrer (krankheitsbedingt) sehr kurzen Karriere Berühmtheit durch ihre stets ungeheuer im- und expressive Vortragsweise, welche die Zuhörer in ihren Bann zog, ja, sie nicht selten zu Tränen rührte.

1985 wurde sie vom renommierten Opernregisseur Peter Sellars entdeckt und für Händels Giulio Cesare engagiert. Es folgten Engagements an den großen Opernhäusern der Welt. Sie wurde bekannt für ihr breites Repertoire, das von Bach-Kantaten und der klassischen Oper bis hin zu moderner Musik reichte. Sie arbeitete immer wieder auch mit kleinen Ensembles, wie hier mit dem Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, und interpretierte auch Stücke noch unbekannter junger Komponisten. – Im Jahr 2000 heiratete sie den Komponisten Peter Lieberson und gab Konzerte mit seinen Liedern. Sie erlag den Folgen einer Krebserkrankung. Posthum erhielt sie 2007 den Grammy “Best Classical Vocal Performance” für das Album “Peter Lieberson: Rilke Songs; The Six Realms; Horn Concerto”.

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson (1954-2006)
A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson began her musical career as a violist. She is a consummate recitalist and concert singer and a riveting operatic performer; her repertoire ranges from the Baroque to the contemporary. On the opera stage she has excelled in roles as diverse as Ottavia (Monteverdi), Ariodante (Handel), Sesto (Mozart), Carmen (Bizet), and Myrtle Wilson (Harbison).

Recognized by Musical America as the 2001 Vocalist of the Year, Ms. Hunt Lieberson’s activities during the present season include John Adams' El Niño at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, and with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, both in Los Angeles and in New York; a North American recital tour with appearances in Atlanta, Berkeley, Los Angeles and New York among others; a return to the Metropolitan Opera, New York to sing Didon in Les Troyens, and to Glyndebourne to reprise her triumphant portrayal of Irene in the Peter Sellars production of Handel’s Theodora.

Highlights of previous seasons have included Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby at the Metropolitan Opera; Bach Cantatas staged by Peter Sellars in New York, Paris, London, and Lucerne; Sesto in La Clemenza di Tito= and the title role in Xerxes for the New York City Opera; Ottavia in L’Incoronazione di Poppea at the Aix-en-Provence Festival and at the San Francisco Opera; and the world premiere of John Adams' El Niño at the Chatelet in Paris and in San Francisco followed by a recording for Nonesuch Records. She has sung Jocasta in Oedipus Rex for the Netherlands Opera; Charlotte in Werther in Lyon, with Kent Nagano; and Triraksha in Peter Lieberson’s Ashoka’s Dream for the Santa Fe Opera.

Concert highlights include Mahler Symphony No. 3 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and James Levine; Berg’s Seven Early Songs with the Berlin Philharmonic under Nagano; Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Esa-Pekka Salonen; Didon in a concert performance of Les Troyens at the Edinburgh Festival with Donald Runnicles; Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’été in Paris with Roger Norrington and in the San Francisco Bay Area with the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Nicholas McGegan; and L’enfance du Christ at Carnegie Hall with the Orchestra of St. Luke's and Sir Charles Mackerras. Recital appearances have taken her to Lincoln Center; Wigmore Hall; the Concertgebouw; and to Boston’s Jordan Hall among others.

Ms. Hunt Lieberson was seen on the international television broadcasts and subsequent video releases of Peter Sellars' productions of Don Giovanni (Donna Elvira), Giulio Cesare (Sesto), and Theodora (Irene). She makes her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico with her husband, composer Peter Lieberson, and their dog Coyito.

Jeffrey Kahane
Equally at home at the keyboard or on the podium, Jeffrey Kahane has established an international reputation as a truly versatile artist, recognized by audiences around the world for his mastery of a diverse repertoire ranging from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven to Gershwin, Golijov and John Adams.

Since making his Carnegie Hall debut in 1983, Mr. Kahane has given recitals in many of the nation’s major music centers including New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Atlanta. He appears as soloist with major orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony and is also a popular figure at all of the major US summer festivals. Kahane is equally well-known for his collaborations with artists and chamber ensembles such as Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Joshua Bell, Thomas Quasthoff and the Emerson and Takacs Quartets.

Jeffrey Kahane made his conducting debut at the Oregon Bach Festival in 1988. Since then, he has guest conducted many of the major US orchestras such as the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics, Philadelphia Orchestra, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, Dallas and New World symphonies among others. Currently in his 17th season as Music Director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Mr. Kahane concluded his tenure as Music Director of the Colorado Symphony in June 2010 and for ten seasons was Music Director of the Santa Rosa Symphony, where he is now Conductor Laureate. He has received much recognition for his innovative programming and commitment to education and community involvement with all three orchestras and received ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming for his work in both Los Angeles and Denver.

In addition to his programs and projects with LACO, recent and upcoming engagements include appearances at the Aspen, Mostly Mozart, Ravinia, Blossom and Oregon Bach festivals; recitals in Salt Lake City, Scottsdale and at the Laguna Beach Festival; concerto performances with the Toronto, Indianapolis, Houston, Oregon and Colorado symphonies and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra; play/conducts with the Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and the San Francisco, National, Detroit, Vancouver, Seattle and New Jersey symphonies; and conducting the New England Conservatory Symphony Orchestra in Boston and the Juilliard Orchestra at Lincoln Center.

During the 13/14 season, Mr. Kahane and his newly formed trio with violinist Joseph Swensen and cellist Carter Brey appear at the Ravinia, Chamber Music Northwest, Music@Menlo and La Jolla Music Society Summerfest festivals and at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County, CA.

Mr. Kahane’s recent and upcoming European engagements include play/conduct programs with the Camerata Salzburg, Hamburg Symphony and the Real Philharmonic de Galicia in Spain as well as appearances at the Meck-Pomm Chamber Music Festival in Germany.

Jeffrey Kahane’s recordings include works of Gershwin and Bernstein with Yo-Yo Ma for SONY, Paul Schoenfield’s Four Parables with the New World Symphony for Decca/Argo, the Strauss Burleske on Telarc with the Cincinnati Symphony and the complete Brandenburg Concerti (on harpsichord) with the Oregon Bach Festival Orchestra under Helmuth Rilling on the Haenssler label. He has also recorded the complete works for violin and piano by Schubert with Joseph Swensen for RCA, Bach’s Sinfonias and Partita #4 in D Major for Nonesuch and Bernstein’s Age of Anxiety for Virgin Records, which was nominated by Gramophone magazine for their “Record of the Year” award.

A native of Los Angeles and a graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Mr. Kahane's early piano studies were with Howard Weisel and Jakob Gimpel. First Prize winner at the 1983 Rubinstein Competition and a finalist at the 1981 Van Cliburn Competition, he was also the recipient of a 1983 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the first Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Award in 1987. An avid linguist who reads widely in a number of ancient and modern languages, Mr. Kahane received a Master’s Degree in Classics from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2011.

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO)
proclaimed “America’s finest chamber orchestra” by Public Radio International, has established itself among the world’s top musical ensembles. Since 1997, LACO has performed under the baton of acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane, hailed by critics as “visionary” and “a conductor of uncommon intellect, insight and musical integrity” with “undeniable charisma.” Under Kahane’s leadership, the Orchestra maintains its status as a preeminent interpreter of historical masterworks and a champion of contemporary composers. During its 45-year history, the Orchestra has made 31 recordings, toured Europe, South America and Japan, performed across North America, earning adulation from audiences and critics alike, and garnered eight ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming.

Headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, LACO presents seven Orchestral Series concerts on Saturdays at either Pasadena’s Ambassador Auditorium or Glendale’s Alex Theatre and on Sundays at UCLA’s Royce Hall; five Baroque Conversations concerts at downtown Los Angeles’ Zipper Concert Hall at The Colburn School; three Westside Connections chamber music concerts, designed to illustrate the relationship between music and other artistic disciplines, at the Moss Theatre in Santa Monica; and an annual Discover concert, which features an in-depth examination that sheds new light on a single piece of music, at Pasadena’s Ambassador Auditorium. LACO also presents a Concert Gala, an annual Silent Film screening at Royce Hall and several fundraising salons each year. Additionally, LACO outreach programs—Meet the Music, Community Partners, Campus to Concert Hall and the LACO/USC Thornton Strings Mentorship Program—reach thousands of young people annually, nurturing future musicians and composers as well as inspiring a love of classical music.

The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1968 as an artistic outlet for the recording industry’s most gifted musicians. The Orchestra’s artistic founder, cellist James Arkatov, envisioned an ensemble that would allow these conservatory-trained players to balance studio work and teaching with pure artistic collaboration at the highest level. With the financial backing of philanthropist Richard Colburn and managerial expertise from attorney Joseph Troy, who also became the Orchestra’s first president, LACO presented its first performances in the fall of 1969. Current music director Jeffrey Kahane continues the standard of excellence set by the Orchestra’s first four music directors, Sir Neville Marriner, Gerard Schwarz, Iona Brown and Christof Perick.
