| Dorking Halls, Dorking RH4 1SG, United Kingdom Saturday 18-May-13 07:30pm Dorking Concertgoers Society: Harp Duo Recital by Mélissa Kenny & Tamara Young This concert is a musical journey exploring two contrasting and complementary repertoires: French and Spanish music through the medium of two harps. The first part focuses on French repertoire of the 20th century and Impressionism and includes works by Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Bernard Andrès. The second part explores Spanish songs, dances and traditional rhythms from Spain as well as South America and includes works by Isaac Albeniz, Enrique Granados and traditional South American pieces. With this programme we are hoping to allow a wider audience to discover the colours of the harp, an instrument which remains quite unfamiliar in concert halls, playing outside the orchestra. In an intimate chamber music context, we will explore the perhaps less-known fiery and rhythmical possibilities of the two harps and the famous airy and magical feel of the two instruments playing together.Sponsored by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust. Works by Debussy, Claude (1862-1918) Works by Ravel, Maurice (1875-1937) Works by Andres, Bernard (b. 1941) Works by Albéniz, Isaac (1860-1909) Works by Granados, Enrique (1867-1916) | ||

Dedicated to a mysterious muse figure called Delphina Potocka, it is a passionate work with an exquisite slow movement and a vigorous mazurka finale. Three superb French pieces make up the rest of the programme: Fauré’s touching Pelléas et Mélisande Suite (with its famous and exquisite Sicilienne), Ravel’s elegiac yet elegant Pavane pour une infant défunte and finally Bizet’s Symphony in C, a work bursting with youthful exuberance and sheer joie de vivre. | ||

| Kings Place: Hall One, London, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Wednesday 22-May-13 07:30pm Talk and Concert: Orient in Song The great Goethe, when in his sixties, fell under the spell of Hafiz, the 14th century Persian poet. Hafiz’s poetry inspired Goethe to create the ‘West-Östlicher Divan’ – a collection of love poems, epigrams and drinking songs. Goethe’s verses in turn inspired composers such as Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn, while poems of Hafiz were set to music by Hugo Wolf and Richard Strauss. Join us as we explore Europe’s century-long love affair with the Orient through poetry, painting and song. Ravel, Maurice (1875-1937), Shéhérazade (excerpts) | ||

When Gershwin asked to study with him, Ravel said "It is better to write good Gershwin than bad Ravel." The jazz-influenced Concerto for the Left Hand was written for a pianist grievously injured during the First World War. The dark undertones of La Valse, an homage to Viennese waltz, suggest a furious farewell to gentility in post-war Europe. Elliott Carter's powerful Variations for Orchestra, another 20th-century masterwork, opens the program. | ||

| Concertgebouw Brugge: Concert Hall, Bruges, 8000 Bruges, Belgium Friday 24-May-13 08:00pm Brussels Philharmonic: Le Sacre du Printemps At the request of the Concertgebouw, the Venezuelan-Canadian choreographer and dancer José Navas created a personal solo version of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. On the list of scandalous concerts, The Rite is joined by Bartók’s Miraculous Mandarin. The libretto of the latter disturbed its original audiences with its violence, and the musical setting also made this composition a classic example of expressionism. Nor was scandal absent from Ravel’s La Valse. The work was at the forefront of his feud with Diaghilev, who promptly rejected the work. | ||

| Southbank Centre: Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX, United Kingdom Wednesday 5-Jun-13 07:30pm International Piano Series: Elisabeth Leonskaja 'If the word mercurial did not exist, it would have to be invented for this remarkable musician' (The Herald). Born in Georgia and trained in Moscow, Elisabeth Leonskaja was much influenced by the great pianist Sviatoslav Richter, with whom she often performed in a duo. Tonight she opens her recital by showcasing three very different composers from the early 20th century, Ravel, Enescu and Debussy, all of whom developed individual harmonic styles that could convey a fabulous range of atmospheres. The second half is devoted to Brahms's finest piano sonata, a five-movement work of immense range, influenced by the strength of Beethoven and the tenderness of Schumann. | ||

|
| ||
| Coronation Hall, Ulverston, Ulverston LA12 7LZ, United Kingdom Thursday 6-Jun-13 07:30pm Celebrity Cello: Steven Isserlis Two pieces from Steven’s programme reflect a private project whereby he generously added to the cello repertoire through commissioning four composer friends to make arrangements of
works with which he has a close personal association: Richard Tognetti’s transcription of Ravel’s ‘Two Hebrew Melodies’, and Christopher Palmer’s version of Bloch’s ‘From Jewish Life’, which Steven described as “as touching as anything written for the cello”. On the instrument itself, Steven captures its essence in a few words: “the cello is what people play in romantic novels, it’s closest to the human voice”. That Saint-Saens’ music is borne of such lyric quality may surprise many, but as Steven points out, “Saint-Saens taught Faure, who taught Ravel, and the more you know about Saint-Saens, the more you love him. He was an astronomer who designed his own telescope, he produced a book about philosophy, he was an animal rights campaigner, he wrote plays and poems and was a wonderful organist. He had a fantastic melodic gift”. With Bach’s ‘Gamba Sonata no. 2’ to start the programme, it promises to be an evening to remember. | ||

| Flagey: Studio 4, Brussels, Place Saint-Croix / Heilig Kruisplein, 1050 Brussels, Belgium Friday 14-Jun-13 08:15pm Alain Altinoglu: Boléro After his brilliant debut at La Monnaie in Cendrillon, Alain Altinoglu continues to browse through the French repertoire. Like some of Ernest Chausson’s other compositions, his only symphony, composed in 1889, is an undervalued gem. It confirms Chausson’s key position in the evolution of French symphonic music: building on the legacy of Franck and Wagner, he pointed the way forward to the burgeoning impressionism in music. Several years later Fauré composed music for Maeterlinck’s play Pelléas et Mélisande, from which he distilled a concert suite that is his symphonic masterpiece. The big hit by Ravel that is also on the programme was equally inspired by the performing arts. In 1927 Ida Rubinstein asked him to write the music for a ballet. Ravel based his composition on the bolero, because of the melodic simplicity and repetitive rhythm of this Spanish dance. It is no exaggeration to say that this Boléro immediately found its way onto the concert platform and has stayed there ever since.Image credit: (c) Gilles Larvor _ Agence Vu | ||
