![]() | ||
| Auditorium Grafenegg, Grafenegg, Austria Saturday 25-May-13 06:30pm Pictures from Russia Three musical pictures from Russia rich in detail guarantee a unique musical experience with their vibrant tone colours and fascinating virtuosity. Glinka’s sweeping overture serves as a prelude to Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto – one of the most popular of its genre – which is in the able hands of Vadim Gluzman. Michail Jurowski, Guest Music Director of the Tonkünstler, presents a further masterpiece from his home country: the trip through Mussorgsky’s «Pictures at an Exhibition» perfectly rounds off the colourful cycle with a wealth of musical impressions.

| Hong Kong Cultural Centre: Concert Hall, 10 Salisburg Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China Saturday 25-May-13 08:00pm Ashkenazy Conducts Great-hearted, superb musicianship has characterised Vladimir Ashkenazy’s career, both as a pianist and a conductor. A musical giant of our time, his concerts are always thrilling, his interpretations sublimely artistic. These concerts mark his début in the HKPO’s season, and feature aptly passionate masterworks. Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony, a heroic celebration of Finland’s native wonders, evokes profound darkness and gleaming light. Richard Strauss’ Don Juan captures the blustering romance of a reckless lover. Then, from much later in Strauss’ life, the Four Last Songs mark a farewell to life and love. | ||

She’ll be joined by violinists Elizabeth Wallfisch and Timmy Chooi and OSM Principal Oboe Ted Baskin.

| Cadogan Hall, London, 5 Sloane Terrace, London SW1X 9DQ, United Kingdom Wednesday 29-May-13 07:30pm The Tallis Scholars - Tallis Scholars at 40: Gesualdo at 400 ‘In this anniversary year of Carlo Gesualdo’s death, it is a pleasure to perform again his astonishing Responsories for Holy Saturday. When our recording of this set first came out in the late ’80s the Gramophone critic wrote: ‘Is this great music or merely weird?’ After many more performances I can say quite clearly that it is both. Gesualdo was unique; and whatever one thinks of his behaviour in life, I am convinced he knew exactly what he was doing with his music. To complement Gesualdo’s chromatic style we have put together a second half of music which has similar features – experimental, chromatic, ahead of its time – ending with that much-loved arch-revolutionary, Monteverdi.’ (Peter Phillips) Part of Cadogan Hall's Choral at Cadogan 2012/13 series. | ||

His elegance, refinement and pianistic style are legendary and we are proud to be able to offer him in concert for a second evening. His chosen repertoire will be French as he touches three of France’s greatest composers: Ravel, Debussy and Fauré.
In this program, Collard is joined by Denis Brott for a performance of Debussy’s Sonata for Cello and Piano written in 1915. Violinist Giora Schmidt and Collard present Ravel’s famous Tzigane and the concert closes with a performance of Gabriel Fauré’s astonishingly beautiful and unmistakably French Quartet in C minor for Piano and Strings. | ||

| Montreal Chamber Music Festival at St George's Church, Montreal, QC, 1101 Rue Stanley, Montreal H3B 2S2, Canada Saturday 1-Jun-13 06:00pm Everybody loves Tchaikovsky - 4 hour Marathon Once again we celebrate the end of a fabulous Festival that has featured outstanding performances and tremendous audiences. To close out the season we offer you a marathon double concert of Tchaikovsky, the great Russian romantic who gave us some of the most beloved and often-played music in the world, including the 1812 Overture and the fabulous Nutcracker. Tonight we offer something more intimate but equally outstanding, his chamber music.
Tchaikovsky’s music was played at the inauguration of Carnegie Hall and will bring our Festival to an end but not before we hear his first String Quartet, his Piano Trio, his Souvenir de Florence, a very special performance of a transcription for piano of the Scherzo from Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony by teen sensation Conrad Tao and, to close the season, his Serenade for Strings. Many of this season’s artists will be back to take a bow and, with their final notes, offer us a marvelous way to bring the 18th season to a close. Thank you all for making this the best season ever and see you next year!

| Cadogan Hall, London, 5 Sloane Terrace, London SW1X 9DQ, United Kingdom Tuesday 4-Jun-13 07:30pm Mozart, Weber and Tchaikovsky A glorious programme encompassing music of sublime wit, high drama and intense emotion. Mozart produced some of the most joyous operatic music ever written, and we are treated to several delights boasting vocal lines of deep expression and breathtaking agility.
Weber’s operas have been hugely influential, inspiring the likes of Wagner to embark on his pioneering music dramas. But it is his operatic overtures which are most frequently performed, and their popularity is understandable: the music brims with energy, intrigue and originality.
The programme culminates in the devastating beauty of Tchaikovsky’s 'Pathétique' Symphony, a masterpiece of aching emotion and symphonic brilliance. | ||

Their last programs ever for Australia include some of the pieces which cemented their stellar reputation. Playing a famous collection of Stradivarius instruments, the Tokyo String Quartet will perform Schubert’s last, magnificent quartet and a masterpiece of late Beethoven, alongside the work written for them by Peter Sculthorpe, Bartók’s ultimate work in this genre – ‘The way he expressed himself through music is universal, that’s why his music has such power,’ adds Kazuhide Isomura.Do not miss this opportunity to celebrate the final performances by a landmark ensemble of our time.
