Claudio Monteverdi’s monumental Vespro della
Beata Vergine was a bold opening salvo of the
Baroque era, and it’s a brilliant beginning for
Matthew Halls’s first season as OBF artistic director.
A grand synthesis of styles ranging from plainchant
and polyphony to operatic arias and dance
forms, it unites huge forces in a work of stunning
musical architecture.
Organist Paul Jacobs and trumpeter
Guy Few are pre-eminent players of their
respective instruments, quick-witted
technical wizards with sharp musical
instincts. In a duo recital that promises
crackling energy, Jacobs plays a mostly
French set, including works of Duruflé
and Vierne. And the two will team up for
duets by Viviani, Krebs, and others.
This year’s season launches
MATTHEW HALLS’S tenure as OBF
artistic director. A Brit still in his
thirties, and with a fast-growing
reputation as one of the most
versatile and charismatic conductors
of his generation, Halls’s inaugural
season demonstrates his scholarly
roots and the breadth and diversity
of his repertoire.

With the exquisite sonorities of the sackbut,
forerunner of the trombone, and the cornett,
a recorder-like wind blown like a trumpet, the
virtuosic group offers a thrilling introduction to
early wind music. Covering two centuries and
four countries with an underlying theme of
Love and War, their grand tour includes music of
Matthew Locke, John Wilbye, Giovanni Gabrieli,
José Ximénez, and Samuel Scheidt.

Grammy Award-winning Paul Jacobs has
been known for such feats as a complete
traversal of all of Bach’s solo organ music —
which he has memorized — in one, 18-hour
marathon concert. He wowed audiences
in an all-Bach OBF debut last summer, and
he returns this year with a program that
includes Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Handel
protégé John Stanley.

In contrast to Bach’s St. Matthew and St. John Passions, pillars of the choral repertoire,
the St. Mark is known only through its existing text and a handful of mentions in
contemporary accounts, with no trace of the actual orchestral or choral parts. Building
on the belief that Bach borrowed from his existing works to create the arias and choral
movements (a common practice of the day), MATTHEW HALLS has written new sung
recitatives, based on his extensive knowledge of Bach’s form and style, in collaboration
with Zurich-based scholar and organist DOMINIK SACKMANN.

From her concerto debut as an
eight-year-old to her 2009 presidential
inauguration appearance and beyond,
GABRIELA MONTERO has commanded
attention with her magnetic presence
and deft touch at the keyboard.
At this year’s OBF, she displays her
expressiveness and her complete
versatility, with classic pieces,
improvisation and a collaboration
with the Eugene Ballet.
This year marks
the 150th anniversary of the birth
of Richard Strauss,
whose lush
orchestration and
rich harmonies
represented the
late flowering of Romanticism. In the first of
two commemorations this season, OBF players
present a variety of chamber works, from the
early Violin Sonata to the sextet from Strauss’s
last opera, Capriccio.

interspersed with Ricercars by the 17thcentury cello virtuoso Domenico Gabrielli.

Left unfinished at the composer’s untimely

Catholic Mass for the Dead is shrouded in
mystery, colored by dark instrumentation and
filled with penetrating psychological insight. Director Emeritus Helmuth Rilling returns to conduct large forces in the Requiem — in a completion and edition by festival favorite Robert Levin — and another late minor-key Mozart masterpiece, the
Symphony No. 40.

For his All-Night Vigil, one of two

Rachmaninoff delved deep into the legacy
of Russian liturgical music to create one of
the great testaments to the awe-inspiring
power of unaccompanied voices. Based
on traditional chant, the music reaches
expressive depths with rich harmonies
anchored in a bedrock of low basses.

Like Monteverdi and Mozart before him,
Verdi applied both his knowledge of
tradition and his own distinctive operatic
gifts to large-scale sacred music. His

works for the theater stage, confronting
the prospect of death with tenderness and
terror. Matthew Halls conducts a powerful
close to this year’s festival.
