examples of guests with a "strong local following" Other visitors include Rudolf Firkusny in the Mozart Piano Concerto No 20 in D Minor Frager in the Schumann Piano Concerto and Ralph Kirshbaum In the Schumann Cello Concerto Cellist Eskin will make his Symphony Hall debut in the Tchaikovsky "Variations on a Rococo Theme" and Dvorak's Rondo in G Minor and "Silent Woods" Lucchesini playing the Chopin Piano Concerto No 1 is another Symphony Hall newcomer "I have heard a number of tapes of live performances of his which I've found absolutely stunning" Silverstein said "He is a wonderful Chopin player and I'm just excited to have him I think come and play with us he's going to be the next great Italian pianist I wanted to get on the train before everybody else did" Lucchesini will perform on a program conducted by Jahja Ling also appearing with the symphony for the first time "I think that Ling is the only conducting debut other of course than that of our associate conductor Kirk Musprattl who's done quite a bit this summer" " The conductor said the orchestra will also "very definitely" be observing the bicentennial in December 1991 of Mozart's death "We will probably be doing works in the early part of next season which will represent the last years of his life Certainly symphonies 39 40 and 41 as well as the 27th Piano Concerto So those things will figure fairly heavily in next year I'm a little bit torn at this moment between the Requiem and the Mass — mainly because although the Requiem is the right piece to do at this time I'm so crazy about the Mass that I'd hate to lose an opportunity to perform it" Silverstein also hopes to do a summer Mozart program "which will approximate the Beethoven festival we did this last principal flutist Erich Graf it will also be a reunion with an old friend and teacher "I always look forward to seeing the man" said Graf who studied with Rampal at the Academie In- ternationale d'Ete in Nice France in the summers of 1968 and '69 "He loves to have a good time "His infectious enthusiasm is very very inspiring He's ful in front of a class He doesn't concern himself so much with the technical side of playing — he relegates that to teachers who are specialists He concentrates on musical ideas "He used to say to me 'Forget the flute Forget the flute' " Graf said "You concentrate so hard on the technique on producing a good tone on getting your fingers on the right keys at the right time and in the right place but when you transcend all that that's where the music starts Not that it's not important to learn the fundamental things — you must have mastery of your instrument before you can 'forget the flute'" Graf a Michigan native went to Nice on the encouragement of flutist Julius Baker who also encouraged him to attend the Juilhard School of Music "The whole atmosphere in Nice was really one of pure musical enjoyment" he said "The whole aspect of cutthroat competition etc was very much played down" Graf has been with the Utah Symphony since 1976 and has played the occasional chamber program in New York with Ram-pa- l Friday the two flutists will be featured in the Cimarosa Concertante for Two Flutes and Show-Stopper- Night" In addition to Matson three other symphony principals will be featured this season — harpist Konrad Nelson in Debussy's "Danse sacree et danse profane" Shelley Showers
