  • To honor Seiji Ozawa, its music director laureate, the Boston Symphony Orchestra offered a spoken and musical tribute at the start of its performance on Friday afternoon, January 9. BSO President and CEO Chad Smith offered remarks, and guest conductor Karina Canellakis led the BSO in Bach’s Air on the G String (from the Orchestral Suite No. 3), a work that had personal significance and history for Ozawa.

    20年前に小田急線の電車の中で偶然お会いしました。私の隣に立っていらっしゃって、私が話しかけたら、気さくに返事を下さって、暫く立ち話をしました。恐らく、どんな時でも、どんな人に会っても、嫌な顔もせず、対等にフレンドリーに話をして下さる、善い方ですね。RIP. ご冥福をお祈り致します。

    RIP Seiji Ozawa. When people hear his name, they think of Boston. But when I hear his name, I think of San Francisco. In 1970, the Lowell High School Orchestra, in San Frncisco held a fund-raising concert in the San Francisco Opera House. Besides Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, Copland’s Outdoor Overture, Gershwin’s An American in Paris, all conducted by our teacher, John Pereira, Mr. Ozawa took time out of his busy international schedule to rehearse us and then lead us in concert in Debussey’s Afternoon of a Faun and Bernstein’s Candide Overture. So not only did he help us realise our dream of traveling to Japan to represent San Francisco at the Expo ′70 in Osaka, but he also inspired us all in our future lives - many of us, including myself, went on to be professional musicians ourselves and having played under his baton and leadership was … inspiring. Thank you Mr. Ozawa!

    By now, I'm sure he's in heaven, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the great musicians who have left their names and music to future generations. I will never forget the moment when that hand swung down in the silence, and the solemn sound it made, as well as the emotion that ran through my body. The many achievements he left behind are a source of great pride for us Japanese people. My sincere respect and gratitude to the great maestro Seiji Ozawa. May his soul rest in peace.

    小澤さんにはわたしが運転するホテルのバスに乗ってもらったことがあります。小澤さんが指揮する音楽塾の公演が完売で行けなかったときに、偶然会いました。「ゲネプロ見させてください」のひとことがなぜ言えなかったんだろうと悔やんできました。
    あとで、井上道義さんから間接的に聞いたのですが、小澤さんも道義さんも成城で、あそこの学校は上下関係が一切ないらしいです。小澤さんなら観覧OKって言ってくれたんじゃないかな。
    人はいつか死んでしまいます。この「G線上のアリア」のようにはかなくはありますが、余韻は残りますね。

    I was a season ticket holder for the SF symphony during the Ozawa era. He was an innovator. He loved to play the modern composers works even tho the critics played hard into him. There was nothing greater than the members of the orchestra would tap their bows and stomp their feet after a performance to tell the critics to shout their mouths. I remember when he played the toy piano for a Nicolas Cage piece

    I remember hearing him conduct the Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique in 1969 at Western University with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, a marvelous performance. This work seemed to be a central feature in his personal repertoire, and the recording which he made at that time remains an emotional rendering of the masterpiece. He was an unforgettable interpreter of great music.
