Aros Centre, Portree, Highland, Portree IV51, United Kingdom Monday 6-Sep-10 07:30pm Carmen (Bizet, Georges (1838-1875)) Scottish Opera Beautiful gypsies, obsession, intense emotion and some of the liveliest rhythms in opera…it can only be Carmen. This new production is set in 1960s Spain, a country firmly entrenched in General Franco’s right-wing regime. Women are oppressed, the gypsies ghettoised, the country is riddled with poverty, and black-market smuggling is rife. As a woman wanting to break free, the stakes are high for someone like Carmen. An outspoken gypsy with a beautiful face and a fiery temper, she sets her sights on the soldier Don José. His desire leads him to deny his friends and position and he is soon living the life of a smuggler in the desolate mountains of Spain. As his relationship with Carmen disintegrates and she leaves him for another, he sets out to prove his love, but Carmen has seen the future in her tarot cards and it isn’t a happy one. Bizet’s boldly seductive opera has been one of the world’s favourite operas for over a century. From the sultry ‘Habanera’ to the naively passionate ‘Flower Song’ and the rousing ‘Toreador’s Song’, Bizet’s ever-popular music brings out the earthy vitality of his characters. Ashley Dean, director of 2009’s Opera Highlights tour directs a fine ensemble cast.

With dissonant chords, romantic love songs and capricious melodies, this trio will immerse you in what could be called the French counterpart to Mahlers German Romanticism. Berlioz was the first of his contemporaries to start making waves - high time for Romanticism! This is exactly why this programme will open with Berlioz’ Nuits d’Eté, moving on to works by Godard, Widor, Fauré and Saint-Saëns to complete a sketch of French Romanticism. The programme will close with Prélude à L’Après d’un Faune, Debussy’s contribution to the ushering-in of a new musical era.

Commissioned by the publishing firm Thomson and at the recommendation of Haydn, Beethoven made arrangements of a collection of Scottish folk melodies. These simple, moving songs will be followed by one of Mendelssohn’s most famous works, presented in an unknown version for piano, flute and cello. This original work from 1840 was only discovered a few years ago and, according to Kossenko, is one of the ‘most beautiful pieces of chamber music for fl ute from the 19th century’. With its powerful, effervescent and melancholy tones this work creates a compelling atmosphere.

Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Friday 10-Sep-10 02:30pm Mikhail Rudy - Russian Masterpieces: Seasons and Pictures Tickets: £4.50 The charismatic pianist Mikhail Rudy is well known for his creative programmes, whether it be his dramatisation of The Pianist or collaboration with the jazz pianist Misha Alperin in Double Dream. He's also a worldclass virtuoso, capable of encompassing huge orchestral works on the piano, as we'll witness in his arrangement of Petrushka and performance of Mussorgsky's monumental Pictures at an Exhibition. In these concerts, Rudy delves into his Russian past. As he says, ‘Being Russian myself but living a great part of my life in the West, Russian music is for me a constant emotional link, a way of keeping Russia alive inside me.' He's joined in his second concert by his compatriot the cellist Alexander Ivashkin, a musical tour de force in his own right, being a soloist, conductor and Professor of Music at the University of London. Tchaikovsky's The Seasons ought to have been called ‘The Months', for the complete cycle contains 12 pieces each named for a month of the year and each written to accompany lines from a poem on that month by a different poet. Published as the musical supplements to a St Petersburg monthly journal from January to December 1876, they were intended to be within the capabilities of amateur pianists, but have sufficient subtleties to interest real virtuosi, too. Their formal simplicity, coupled with the programmatic imagery, was a spur to Tchaikovsky's invention: many of them remind us of his genius as a ballet composer, and it's easy enough to imagine a ballet constructed around their sequence of varied moods and characters. Unlike The Seasons, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is a visionary work and the sound of a modern Steinway is almost not enough for the range and richness of the colours required, hence the many orchestrations. A grand memorial to his friend, the painter Viktor Hartmann, it takes the form of Mussorgsky himself (a portly figure represented by a ‘Promenade' in ponderous 11/4 time) viewing ten pictures in a memorial exhibition of Hartmann's work which was held in 1874. The sharp delineations of character and colour, vividly rendering scenes and personalities, created a new manner of writing for the piano which was hardly understood for over 50 years, while the monumental finale - ‘The Great Gate of Kiev'- is one of the most majestic culminations in piano literature.

He's also a worldclass virtuoso, capable of encompassing huge orchestral works on the piano, as we'll witness in his arrangement of Petrushka and performance of Mussorgsky's monumental Pictures at an Exhibition.

He's joined in his second concert by his compatriot the cellist Alexander Ivashkin, a musical tour de force in his own right, being a soloist, conductor and Professor of Music at the University of London. Stravinsky's Suite Italienne (1932) is an arrangement of an arrangement of an arrangement. In it - with the help of the great cellist Piatigorsky - he transcribed a violin-piano suite he'd made in 1925 of movements from his ballet Pulcinella (1919-20), itself founded upon a collection of 18th-century pieces by (or rather, often, wrongly attributed to) Pergolesi. Stravinsky does everything he can to upset the four-square Baroque phrasing by means of displaced accents, prominent syncopations, changes of timesignature, and so on. His rather Cubist re-ordering and re-imagining of the Baroque melodies and harmonies are taken a stage further when transferred to cello and piano, creating a kind of conscienceless neoclassicism, like a burlesque of Pergolesi's own sonatas. Prokofiev's Cello Sonata is a late work, written in the dark days after February 1948, when the composer (along with Shostakovich) had been denounced by Stalin's henchman Zhdanov for writing ‘formalist, bourgeois decadent, anti-people music'. Though ill and depressed, Prokofiev felt that to be ‘working, always working' would be his personal salvation in this situation, and he was quick to spot the talent of the young Mstislav Rostropovich and to write a work especially for him. Though it does not have the barbaric dissonance of his middleperiod works, its combination of aching lyricism and spiky virtuosity is authentic Prokofiev. There is a defiant youthfulness to this music, rather than the spirit of elegy, encapsulated in his preface quote from Gorky: ‘Man, how proud the word sounds!'

Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Friday 10-Sep-10 05:00pm Mikhail Rudy - Russian Masterpieces: Petrushka Tickets: £4.50 The charismatic pianist Mikhail Rudy is well known for his creative programmes, whether it be his dramatisation of The Pianist or collaboration with the jazz pianist Misha Alperin in Double Dream. He's also a worldclass virtuoso, capable of encompassing huge orchestral works on the piano, as we'll witness in his arrangement of Petrushka and performance of Mussorgsky's monumental Pictures at an Exhibition. In these concerts, Rudy delves into his Russian past. As he says, ‘Being Russian myself but living a great part of my life in the West, Russian music is for me a constant emotional link, a way of keeping Russia alive inside me.' He's joined in his second concert by his compatriot the cellist Alexander Ivashkin, a musical tour de force in his own right, being a soloist, conductor and Professor of Music at the University of London. Prokofiev made his international reputation as a pianist-composer, an alchemist of brilliant keyboard miniatures, sometimes caustic, sometimes tender or sentimental. Twenty of these make up the Visions fugitives (1915-17), pieces meant to suggest the highly concentrated essence of a kaleidoscope of moods, each just a minute or so long: musical epigrams that stand in for unheard epics. The ballet Romeo and Juliet, by contrast, enshrines the far more expansive and genuinely romantic style of the later Prokofiev, and contains some of his best-loved melodies. We hear three numbers from the set of ten that Prokofiev himself arranged for piano. Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka originated in the sound of the piano, for he originally conceived it as a Konzertstück for piano and orchestra. In his memoirs, he recalled it all began with his having ‘a distinct picture of a puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggios'. He himself arranged three dances from the ballet for solo piano at the behest of Arthur Rubenstein, so the logic of Mikhail Rudy's own transcription is unimpeachable. In its combination of folksong and urban melodies with daring harmonic and rhythmic experiment, this is Stravinsky at his most subversively brilliant, as well as his great tribute to St Petersburg. As Rudy writes, ‘I completed this suite to make the entire Petrushka less driven by the idea of pianistic tour de force than by the desire to tell the story of the love, jealousy and ultimate death of a piece of wood, the puppet Petrushka, by the means of another piece of wood, the piano.'

Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Saturday 11-Sep-10 11:00am Light: Johannes Moser & Sophie Cashell - Beethoven, Janacek, Messiaen Tickets £4.50 The young German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser came to the world's attention when he won the famous Tchaikovsky Cello Competition in 2002. He's since performed as a soloist with the world's great orchestras, and also made a name as a chamber musician, inspirational educator and exponent of the electric cello. He's joined by pianist Sophie Cashell, winner of BBC TV's Classical Star competition (2007) for two contrasting programmes exploring core works of the cello repertoire mixed with live improvisation on electric cello and Nintendo Wiimote. Both e-cello works will be created using strands from the other works on the programme through improvisation. Moser will take feelings and themes from each piece to create a link from one work to the next, as he explains: ‘I would like to share my experiments of the past few months with the electric cello, and show that work-in-progress against pieces that have been in my repertoire for years. I feel more and more that these pieces are subject to subtle improvisations constantly, keeping the music fresh and alive. I am very pleased to be working with Sophie since she really knows the repertoire inside out and is a very keen spirit herself.' Beethoven's two late Sonatas (from 1815) are characterised by brevity, compression and the incredible ingenuity of the mature composer. The first, in C major, Beethoven named a ‘free' sonata, his way of accounting for its unconventional design. It opens with deceptively gentle simplicity before plunging into its stormy A minor Allegro Vivace. From out of a dreamily rhapsodic, recitative-like Adagio bursts a spirited, Haydn-like Finale in which the instruments play an exuberant game of cat-and-mouse. Janáček's twinkling Podháka (A Fairy tale) evokes the magical Russian tale of Prince Ivan and his love for Maria, daughter of the King of the Underworld. Drawing on folk song and delightful dance rhythms, it follows the lovers' trials and enchantments leading to their eventual happy union. Louange à l'éternité de Jésus is a movement from Messaien's Quartet for the End of Time, written while he was a prisoner in Stalag 8a during the Second World War. Inspired by the Book of Revelation, this magnum opus, composed for musicians available in the camp, was given its premiere before 5,000 shivering inmates on 15 January 1941. In this movement of mesmerising serenity, the cellist plays a long, sustained cantilena over slowly shifting, pulsating harmonies on the piano. A glowing meditation praising the eternal love of Jesus, it is essential Messaien, while prefiguring a whole wave of Minimalist music that would blossom in the late 20th century.

I feel more and more that these pieces are subject to subtle improvisations constantly, keeping the music fresh and alive. I am very pleased to be working with Sophie since she really knows the repertoire inside out and is a very keen spirit herself.' For the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, J S Bach's fifth suite was simply ‘darkness'. Written for a cello with its top A string tuned down to G, it is the most shadowy and mysterious of the Suites, with this Sarabande forming a still point, its measured, falling phrases, unwinding with their extraordinary chromatic logic into the void. For some, this eloquent aria of pain represents nothing less than the Crucifixion. Toru Takemitsu combined a Japanese sensibility with Western techniques inspired by Debussy, Webern, Messaien and Cage. Orion, named after the constellation, is a chamber version of the first movement of his cello concerto, Orion and Pleiades. Moser recalls meeting Takemitsu's long-time recording producer, who explained that his tempi markings were related to the Japanese Qi, which means breathing. ‘So however a performer decides to breathe this music will determine the tempo.' Beethoven's Sonata in D for piano and cello was to be his last in the form. The first movement, with its jubilant rising arpeggio, is driven by optimism and vigour, in sharp contrast to the sombre Adagio, and its memorably dark-hued chorale. The work ends with a muscular fugue, which takes us back to Bach.
