![]() | ||
| Aldeburgh Church, Aldeburgh IP15 5DY, United Kingdom Friday 21-Jun-13 03:00pm Britten–Pears Young Artists II A concert that juxtaposes the sounds of a horn quartet with viola – Hindemith and Britten’s own instrument – is an alluring prospect, and the instruments’ very essence seems to be represented here. The viola’s burnished eloquence weeps in memorials by Hindemith and Bridge and spins fantastical tales in Schumann’s fairy stories; the horn’s heritage celebrated in smooth cantilenas and quicksilver caprice. Ghosts lurk here too – the horn virtuoso Dennis Brain and his quartet, and Britten, whose deft arrangements of other people’s music so often blends poetry and polish, working with the grain to reveal new beauty beneath the veneer. | ||

| Sarasota Opera House, Sarasota, FL, Sarasota, FL, United States Friday 21-Jun-13 08:00pm Fall in Love Love in all its forms and complexity is the subject of this concert. You’ll fall in love all over again with Mozart through his mischievous string quintet, suffused with a blend of cheer and vigor with deeper, more serious emotions. Wagner offered perhaps the most romantic gift of all time in his Siegfried Idyll, a tender birthday present given to his wife on Christmas morning. Intimate and cozy, this work’s soft beauty is compelling.Harbison turns to familial love in Songs America Loves to Sing. Instrumental versions of beloved songs from his childhood - and yours - are woven together into a complex counterpoint that is sometimes melancholy, sometimes witty, sometimes impish but always poignant. You’ll also fall in love with two of the best student ensembles of the week.

| Sarasota Opera House, Sarasota, FL, Sarasota, FL, United States Saturday 22-Jun-13 08:00pm A Celebratory Finale Making his Festival debut, conductor Nicholas McGegan’s infectious joy will transport you into these three vibrant pieces. Handel’s masterpiece is among the most popular Baroque works. You’ll enjoy its stately elegance and effusive cheer. Mozart himself described his Concerto No. 16 as music “to make the performer sweat.” As one of America’s preeminent performers of Mozart’s music, Robert Levin is the ultimate pianist to truly showcase this great work. Our Festival season ends in stormy Scotland, with a robust symphony by Mendelssohn. Inspired by the landscape and ruins of Scotland, this is a work justifiably beloved by generations and an impressive finale for the 49th Sarasota Music Festival. | ||

When he reached the pinnacle of his career he was Christian IV’s court lutenist in Copenhagen for eight years. He was rumoured to be an English spy, or maybe people envied his annual salary of 500 thalers. Indeed, Tobias Hume could only dream of making such an amount. He earned his money as a mercenary and nearly had to go with Gustav Adolf’s army when they marched into Mecklenburg. So captain Hume could only be a part-time viola da gamba genius. Nevertheless, in 1607 he also arranged his "Poeticall Musicke" for lutes clearly thinking of the orpharion. English musicians made this lute instrument with its metal strings popular at the Danish court, too. That is why one of three remaining original examples is kept in the Museum of Musical History in Copenhagen and serves as model for almost all modern copies. Listening to an orpharion is a rare treat. Listening to a duet of orpharions is practically unheard of. Don’t miss the opportunity.
Tickets € 35,- / 30,- Works by Dowland, John (1563-1626) Works by Hume, Tobias (1569-1645) | ||

They show a confidence of expression and technique consistent with Haydn's preeminent position in European musical life. They followed hard upon the second of Haydn's highly successful visits to England and demonstrated that at the age of 65 or so, Haydn still had much to offer in the development of the quartet form. It was indeed the only instrumental form that continued to hold his interest as he drew close to the end of his composing career. Speaking of the richly varied Opus 76 set of quartets, Charles Burney, the English writer and musician, told Haydn that he had "never received more pleasure from instrumental music; they are full of invention, fire, good taste and new effects". Benjamin Britten's Three Divertimenti started life as an abortive string quartet entitled Alla Quartetto Serioso: Go play, boy, play: a quotation from Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. This early version dates from 1933, when the composer was nineteen, and, in turn, it grew out of an Alla Marcia which he had planned for an Emil and the Detectives suite. Five movements were projected for Go play, boy, play, each of which was to portray a schoolboy friend and to give impressions of boyish fun and games. The Alla Marcia was subtitled P.T. (Physical Training), and portrayed David Layton, a considerable athlete who went up to Cambridge. Subtitled Ragging, the third movement portrayed Francis Barton, a friend from prep. school days. The three completed movements were performed in 1933 and were well received, although the composer had his reservations and ceased work on the quartet. Nevertheless they were to receive another airing when a few years later Britten revised them and chose a new title – Three Divertimenti. (Notes by John Dalton courtesy of Making Music.) Schumann was the first great composer to combine piano and string quartet and he did it with such masterly skill, and with such inspiration, that he created in this work one of the eternal jewels in the entire repertoire of chamber music. The thematic material is full of youthful spontaneity and it is shaped and moulded with assured and mature craftsmanship. Only occasionally does the piano override the strings and the five instruments share a texture of extreme clarity and always with well-defined lines. Prize winners in the 2010 Royal Over-Seas League Competition and the 2009 5th Trondheim International String Quartet Competition in Norway, the Finzi Quartet has given recitals and made numerous festival appearances at major venues throughout the UK and Europe, including Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the Auditorio Sony in Madrid. The Quartet has also performed live on BBC Radio 3 and on Viennese Radio. As selected Young Artists the Quartet has benefited from the support of the Tillett Trust, Park Lane Group, the Tunnell Trust and the Kirckman Concerts Society. The Quartet held a Chamber Music Fellowship at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester between 2010 and 2012, and made its debut release with Resonus Classics in May 2012. Now based both in London and Paris, the members of the Finzi Quartet are alumni of the Royal College of Music in London and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, and the Conservatoire National Superior de Musique et de Danse of both Paris and Lyon. British pianist Ashley Fripp has given solo, concerto and chamber music performances in many of the most prestigious venues throughout the UK, such as the Royal Festival, Queen Elizabeth, Birmingham Symphony, Barbican and Wigmore Halls. Recent international invitations have taken him throughout Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, China, Japan, Australia and the USA, to such halls as the Carnegie Hall (New York) and the Audimax Hall (Regensburg). He has won prizes at more than a dozen national and international competitions, including the coveted Gold Medal from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Diploma of Outstanding Merit at the 8th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, 1st Prize at the Brant International Piano Competition and the Award for Keyboard at the Royal Over-Seas League Competition. He has made appearances on BBC television and radio and has also performed in the Edinburgh, Brighton, Chipping Campden and City of London Festivals. Ashley Fripp studied at the Royal College of Music Junior Department and the Purcell School with Emily Jeffrey, and recently graduated with First Class Honours from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where he is now undertaking postgraduate studies with Ronan O’Hora. Future plans include performances throughout the UK, France and Germany, and the recording of a Liszt album with Resonus Classics. His CD recording of both Chopin Piano Concertos was recently released on the Spektral Records label. Schumann, Robert (1810-1856), Piano Quintet | ||

"I've written Hanjo, as if it were a dream. The protagonist, Hanako ,lives in a world of madness, which is beyond our everyday reality, for a long time waiting for the man she loves. When he finally comes back, she no longer recognizes him. The image of this man in her head has become more real than the man who is actually in front of her.
