Kings Place: Hall One, LondonEndymion - For Richard Muhlfeld Kings Place Festival |
|
![]() | ||
| Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Saturday 11-Sep-10 12:30pm Endymion - For Richard Muhlfeld Tickets: £4.50.
The world-class chamber ensemble Endymion always strives to bring the greatest chamber music past and present to a wide audience. Known for the vitality, virtuosity and innovation of its players, Endymion has already made an impact at Kings Place by giving the first public performance in Hall One at the opening Festival in 2008, with a new piece by Simon Holt. Last summer Endymion celebrated 30 years with a major new music project, Sound Census, showcasing 27 premieres during a week of concerts here. This year their festival programmes epitomise the character of Endymion's music-making, contrasting two of the most emotional and engaging classics of the repertoire by Mozart and Brahms with an intriguing recent work by composer and artistic director Philip Venables. Brahms's Clarinet Quintet has much in common with the Clarinet Quintet by Mozart (heard earlier this morning). Like Mozart, Brahms's late conversion to the clarinet was inspired by a virtuoso, Richard Muhlfeld, for whom he also wrote his two masterful clarinet sonatas. Muhlfield premiered the work with a quartet led by violinist Joseph Joachim, Brahms's long-time friend and collaborator. As a tribute to Mozart's Quintet, Brahms's follows a similar four-movement structure. The first movement, like many of Brahms's late works, has a brooding, autumnal quality. The second movement shows Brahms at his most expansive and lyrical, with the strings subtly playing on the colours and harmonic flavour of the clarinet melody. The short third movement, with its gently meandering melodies, is one of the few lighter moments in the work. Following Mozart's example, Brahms finishes with a theme and variations but where Mozart's is playful and charming, Brahms's is searching and darkly romantic.

Kings Place: Hall One, LondonGould Piano Trio - Variations in a Major Key Kings Place Festival |
|
![]() | ||
| Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Sunday 12-Sep-10 12:15pm Gould Piano Trio - Variations in a Major Key Tickets: £4.50.
The Gould Piano Trio is one of the UK's finest chamber ensembles, boasting an impressive discography, and festival appearances at Edinburgh, Cheltenham, City of London, Bath, Aldeburgh and the BBC Proms. The group have a special affinity with the 19th-century Romantic repertoire, and last year released a set of Brahms's complete music for piano trio to great acclaim, but they have also been active in commissioning and promoting new music. Beethovens ‘Kakadu' Variations, based on a popular contemporary aria, were probably written around 1803. They were one of Beethoven's few British-published works, printed by Chappell in 1824. A slow G minor introduction gives way to the chirpy, major-keyed song theme. The piano alone plays Variation 1, and the three instruments don't come together again until Variation 4. Contrapuntal imitation is the hallmark of the fifth, before the piano grabs the tune for the sixth, playfully punctuated by the strings. Variation 9 is a pathosridden minor-keyed Adagio. A battle between major and minor ensues during the Presto Variation 10. After the major key conquers, the pace slows to a final Allegretto, also based on the theme. Brahms's intense Piano Trio, completed in 1882, feels thoroughly symphonic in scale, its rich textures and soaring melodies frequently appearing to strive beyond the confines of their chamber walls. A dramatic Allegro moderato, full of dynamic and rhythmic contrasts, is followed by a tragic, minor-keyed theme and variations. The mood remains dark, and the key minor, for the tensely hurried Scherzo, although its C major trio provides a carefree respite. The exciting Finale, with its surprise modulations of key, and melodies unexpectedly changing tack, builds to a triumphant climactic flourish.

Kings Place: Hall One, LondonSacconi Quartet - Hard-won Masterpiece Kings Place Festival |
|
![]() | ||
| Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Sunday 12-Sep-10 03:45pm Sacconi Quartet - Hard-won Masterpiece Tickets: £4.50. Rarely is there an opportunity in London to hear three giants of the piano quintet repertoire performed on one occasion. For these three concerts, pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips joins the Sacconi Quartet to bring the great piano quintets of Brahms, Schumann and Dvořak to the Kings Place stage. The Sacconi Quartet's innovative programming and exceptional playing mark them out in the British scene today. Their energy and creativity are bringing a new audience to chamber music with their concerts, recordings and outreach work. The Quartet makes a welcome return to Kings Place after their week of groundbreaking concerts, one of the highlights of the opening season. Simon Crawford-Phillips is renowned for his imaginative playing and dynamic musicianship. He is developing a diverse career as soloist, song accompanist, conductor, and pianist in the Kungsbacka Trio. This quintet beautifully illustrates Brahms's lifelong perfectionist streak. Its first incarnation was in 1862, as a string quintet with two cellos. Unsatisfied, Brahms rearranged it as a two-piano duet. Still unsatisfied, in 1864 he re-scored it as a piano quintet. Two tumultuous, passionate outer movements, replete with interwoven melodic lines, are the bookends for a tender, majorkeyed Andante, and an emotionally highly wrought Scherzo.

| The Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Hambleden, Henley, Henley RG9 6RT, United Kingdom Saturday 18-Sep-10 07:30pm A concert of string quintets Born 200 years ago in 1810 in Zwickau, Saxony, Schumann is known mainly for his piano music and songs, but his contribution to chamber music is also significant. The Piano Quintet of 1842 succeeds brilliantly. Schumann's pianist wife, Clara, described it as "magnificent - filled with energy and freshness". Brahms' Quintet, completed in 1864, started as a quartet and later became a sonata for 2 pianos. Before taking its final form, Brahms destroyed the quartet but published the sonata. It is most satisfying as a quintet,piano and strings being equally important.

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Thursday 30-Sep-10 07:30pm Philharmonia Orchestra Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the music of his compatriot Jean Sibelius in this concert. Sibelius’s tone poem Finlandia sets the soundworld with its nationalistic evocations of scenes from Finnish history; followed by Lemminkäinen, an orchestral suite based on the Finnish national epic poem, the Kalevala. The most famous movement describes The Swan of Tuonela with the cor anglais’ melody gliding over the musical water of the strings and woodwind; the other movements are equally evocative and atmospheric, moving from the ‘Land of the Dead’ to the hero’s exploits in battle. Between these, Brahms’ First Piano Concerto provides a flamboyant display of pianistic virtuosity. | ||
