Yossi Gutmann: Phoenix - An Evening of Solo Viola
Produced by the Angel Orensanz Foundation this concert will be Yossi Gutmann's American debut as a solo performer. It will also be the American premiere of Phoenix, a composition by Tzvi Avni, one of Israel's foremost composers and the 2001 Laureate of the Israel Prize for Music. Phoenix was composed in 2001 in response to the collapse of the Twin Towers.

Yossi Gutmann (b. Tel Aviv, 1947) studied with Odeon Partos, Daniel Benyamini and William Primrose.  Brought to Europe from Tel Aviv at age 16 by Yehudi Menuhin, Gutmann became a pupil of Nadia Boulanger, Tibor Varga, and Sergiu Celibidache. He served as principal violist for the Hamburg Symphony, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Bayreuth Festspiel Orchestra. Gutmann has been a member of several chamber groups, including the Amati Ensemble. He is a founding member of the Melos Quartet, and founder of the Stradivari Sextet Habisreutinger. For many years Yossi Gutmann played the "ex-Gibson" Stradivarius viola and presently plays the "violist's viola," one by Paolo Antonio Testore, Milan, c.1760.

Attracted to new music and to experimental and avant-garde circles, Gutmann worked with Peter Eotvos, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and played with Steve Lacy. Recently, his performances have been incorporated into productions by Basil Twist and Lee Negrin. In addition, he has collaborated with Squat Theater, the all-important New York avant-garde group of the 1970s and 80s, composing, performing, and touring with them. With Eva Grudin of the Williams College art department, Gutmann created a multimedia performance piece, Sounding to A, about Second Generation Memory and the inheritance of the holocaust. It premiered at the Ko Festival for Performance in 2004, and has been produced in Vienna, Amsterdam and Berlin.

Gutmann considers himself as much a composer as a performer. His adaptations, he says, are more correctly called "Re-compositions". "Mine are not so much adaptations of the original, as they are reconsiderations of them. I do not change a note, but the music is open to my liberal analysis."

Program:

J.S. Bach: Suite in G major, BWV 1007, (Re-Structured - Gutmann)

Marin Marais: Suite in D minor  (Re-Structured, Re-Composition, and Adaptation - original for viola da gamba and basso continuo- Gutmann)

William Byrd: All in a Garden Green, MB56 (Re-Composition, Adaptation - original for virginal - Gutmann)

F. Schubert: Arpeggione Sonata, D. 821, 1st movement (Re-Composition and Adaptation - original for arpeggione and piano - Gutmann )

Tzvi Avni: Phoenix, for solo viola (American premiere)

J.S. Bach: Sonata for viola da gamba in G minor, BWV 1029 (Re-Composition and Adaptation - original for viola da gamba and harpsichord - Gutmann)



"Beautiful and adventurous string playing . . . and a singing tone so fine it can penetrate the heart."    (Kazuyuki Toyama, Mainichi Shinbun, Japan)

"Gutmann's fluid and nuanced style calls to mind late Titian in its sensuality and ease.  And, like Titian, when others of his generation are moving past their prime, he is just entering his." (Die Presse, Wien)

"Bach would have smiled at Yossi Gutmann's audacious and profoundly original reinventions of him." (Die Zeit, Hamburg)
