Abstract:In 1970, Kurt Masur was appointed musical director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, a position he would hold for twenty-six years. Over the decades he brought his technical discipline and irreproachable expertise to concert halls all around the world, but it was to Leipzig--and to the ensemble that became one of the world's best under his baton--that he chose to return, this time as conductor laureate, for a celebratory concert in honor of his 80th birthday. For that special night in 2007, Maestro Masur designed a delightfully wide-ranging program, leading his audience on a veritable world tour: from his native Germany, Otto Nicolai's Merry Wives of Windsor and celebrated works by Brahms; eastward to Bohemia (Dvořák's Slavonic Dances), Poland (a Mazurka from Halka), and Russia (Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien); westward to France--where he spent six years directing the Orchestre National--with Bizet's Carmen and Dukas's Sorceror's Apprentice; across the Atlantic, where his eleven years at the helm of the New York Philharmonic brought West Side Story's "Mambo" and selections from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess; and finally south of the border to Brazil, rounding out the festivities with a lively orchestration of "The Girl from Ipanema.
