Dr Anton Philipszaal, The Hague Hels and Hemels (Diabolical and Celestial) |
Beethoven, String Quartet no. 15 in A minor, Op.132 (Heiliger Dankgesang) |
 | ||
| Dr Anton Philipszaal, The Hague, Spuiplein 150, The Hague 2511, Netherlands Saturday 16-Nov-13 08:15pm Hels and Hemels (Diabolical and Celestial) Composed in 1673 Battalia is one of the most remarkable works of the seventeenth century. Scored for ten musicians, Biber’s evocative work depicts the tale of a group of soldiers: one hears them sitting by the campfire, getting drunk, fighting on the battlefield and commemorating the fallen with a prayer. The tempestuous C.P.E. Bach is well represented by his Cello Concerto in A. The English master cellist Steven Isserlis, who last performed with Amsterdam Sinfonietta ten years ago, returns as soloist, not only in this tumultuous concerto but also in Bloch’s lamenting, Jewish miniatures.
Honneger drew inspiration from Bach and the violence of the Second World War as he composed his darkly ominous Second Symphony. Peace is once again restored by Beethoven. After a protracted illness Beethoven astonished everyone with his unexpected recovery. Convinced that 'the highest authority' had spared his life, Beethoven wrote a prayer of thanksgiving to express his gratitude; music that ascends to the heavens.Image credit: Marco Borggreve Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827), String Quartet no. 15 in A minor, Op.132 (Heiliger Dankgesang) | ||
