Now That It's Official
What the Philharmonic Should
and Shouldn't Play in
By TERRY TEACHOUT
How can symphony orchestras help inexperienced listeners open their ears to difficult pieces of classical music? The New York Philharmonic experimented last week with a new kind of concert program developed by musicologist Gerard McBurney and the Chicago Symphony to familiarize audiences with unusual works. Mr. McBurney's "Inside the Music" presentation of Dmitri Shostakovich's Fourth Symphony began with an hour-long multimedia show in which the Philharmonic played excerpts from the symphony as accompaniment to a fast-moving montage of archival photographs and clips from Soviet propaganda films. In between these sequences, Mr. McBurney and F. Murray Abraham ("Amadeus") told how the premiere of the Fourth Symphony was canceled after Shostakovich had a run-in with Joseph Stalin. Their purpose was to place the symphony, written in 1936, in the wider context of the "Great Terror" that Stalin was then inflicting on the Russian people.
If last Friday's concert is any indication, Mr. McBurney is onto something. The audience sat riveted as he and Mr. Abraham told the tale of the timid composer's terrifying encounter with the murderous dictator -- and the nightmare that was unfolding all around him as Stalin and his executioners piled up mountains of corpses and plunged the
Yet it seems highly likely that more than a few of the people who were clapping so enthusiastically were also looking at the players onstage and asking, What are they thinking? For three days earlier, Zarin Mehta and Paul Guenther, the president and chairman of the Philharmonic, had shared a platform with Pak Gil Yon, North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations, and announced that America's oldest orchestra would be playing in Pyongyang next February. It horrified me -- no other word is strong enough -- to see them sitting next to a smirking representative of Kim Jong Il, the dictator of a brutally totalitarian state in whose Soviet-style prison camps 150,000 political prisoners are currently doing slave labor.
In public as well as in private, the management of the Philharmonic has made it clear that the orchestra is going to
I leave it to more qualified observers to predict whether anything of value will emerge from these negotiations. But it is not the job of the New York Philharmonic to enact foreign policy, much less to besmirch its own honor by taking part in what, in a previous column on this topic, I called "a puppet show whose purpose is to lend legitimacy to a despicable regime." Nor do you have to be a diplomat to know that Mr. Guenther was blowing smoke when he compared the trip to the 1989 concert that Leonard Bernstein and members of the Philharmonic gave at the soon-to-be-dismantled Berlin Wall. Nobody is tearing down any walls in
That wasn't the only foolish statement made last Tuesday. Asked whether the Philharmonic would be handing
I find it especially disturbing that Lorin Maazel, the orchestra's music director, will be leading the concert. Mr. Maazel is the composer of an operatic version of "1984," George Orwell's great novel about life under totalitarian rule. Now he's going to make music for Big Brother. What could he be thinking?
How might the Philharmonic emerge from this misbegotten venture with its honor intact? The answer came from the musician who accompanied me to last Friday's concert. In the hush that followed the rage and anguish of the first movement of Shostakovich's Fourth Symphony, she leaned over to me and whispered, "Forget Gershwin -- this is what they ought to play in
Music, Mr. Guenther told us last week, is "a universal language." If so, the Philharmonic would do well to change its
