| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Thursday 20-Jun-13 07:30pm Following the success of the Prague première of Le nozze di Figaro, Mozart was immediately commissioned to write another opera. This time, Lorenzo Da Ponte chose the story of the Spanish nobleman Don Juan. The subject matter had been considered a crowd-puller for more than a century, due in particular to the spectacular demise of the hero. Don Giovanni invites the statue of the Commendatore, whom he has murdered, to dinner, and is swallowed up by the jaws of hell. However, the view of the hero had changed considerably since the Spanish dramatist and monk Tirso de Molina first brought the blasphemous deeds and just punishment of the villain to the stage in the 17th century. While de Molina was still entirely on the side of order, which is ultimately re-established through divine intervention, Mozart and Da Ponte turn the sexual braggart and seducer into a man whose unquenchable thirst for happiness calls into the question the very foundations of social coexistence. Don Giovanni thus becomes – involuntarily and perhaps even without realising it – a danger for the social order, which can be maintained only if it functions smoothly. In their comedy, which is shrouded in darkness throughout, Mozart and Da Ponte do not conceal the price that others have to pay for this kind of self-realisation. However, since they do not pass any final judgement and instead do justice to both sides, their work becomes a drama of humanity of indestructible power and relevance – a dramma giocoso that becomes all the more comic the more the tragic aspects behind the course of events become apparent.
The much-vaunted German director Sebastian Baumgarten will present his interpretation of Don Giovanni in Zurich. At the rostrum will be the young Robin Ticciati, a rising star among the new generation of conductors. Our Don Giovanni is the charismatic Peter Mattei, who is sought-after in this role from the Scala in Milan to the New York Met.In Italian with German and English surtitles.Robin Ticciati, Conductor Sebastian Baumgarten, Director Barbara Ehnes, Set Designer Marina Rebeka, Soprano: Donna Anna Julia Kleiter, Soprano: Donna Elvira Anna Gorbachyova, Soprano: Zerlina Peter Mattei, Baritone: Don Giovanni Pavol Breslik, Tenor: Don Ottavio Rafal Siwek, Bass: The Commendatore Ruben Drole, Baritone: Leporello Lukas Jakobski, Bass: Masetto | ||

| St Peter's Church, Shaldon, Shaldon, United Kingdom Friday 21-Jun-13 07:30pm Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble ![]() Ticket Information: Centre Seats £16, Side Seats £10, Student seats £5 Detail: We are delighted and privileged to welcome back the Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble for their fourth visit to the Festival. The selected programme features works written during a particularly happy time in the three composers’ lives. Mozart Horn Quintet in E flat K.407 Mozart’s works for solo horn were composed almost exclusively for one particular player, Ignaz Leutgeb, his life-long friend and Salzburg compatriot. Apart from owning a cheese shop, Leutgeb held the position of first horn in the Archbishop of Salzburg’s private orchestra and was, by all accounts, an extraordinarily gifted player. The Horn Quintet in Eb major is the most difficult to play and pushed the player and the valveless instrument of his time to the limit. Scored for violin, two violas, cello and horn, it was composed toward the end of 1782 in Vienna when Mozart was entering a period of great success and productivity and perhaps the happiest time in his life. It is obvious from his markings in the manuscript, using coloured inks and sometimes writing cryptic comments to the soloist in the margins, that Mozart enjoyed pulling Leutgeb's leg. This atmosphere is also reflected in the music which, in the allegro movements, is full of fun. The slow movements, simple but endearing Romances, reveal the deep regard that Mozart had for both the instrument and his friend. Tchaikovsky Souvenir de Florence Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) is one of those composers whose musical style brings out the best lyricism strings can produce. The Souvenir de Florence, Op. 70, is certainly one of those works. The St. Petersburg Chamber Music Society had submitted their commission in 1887, but Tchaikovsky did not begin work on the string sextet (scored for two violins, two violas and two cellos) until the winter of 1890 on his return from a visit to Florence. Unlike "Capriccio Italien", composed some ten years earlier and full of Italian quotations, this work is decidedly Russian. The title merely derives from the fact that it was whilst Tchaikovsky was working on his opera The Queen of Spades in Florence that he noted down the main theme of the slow movement. Italy was a place where Tchaikovsky spent some of the happiest moments of his life which, perhaps, could be a key to the naming of the piece. Though the work was performed privately after its completion, he revised it thoroughly before its first public performance on 6th December, 1892. The proud composer wrote to his brother: “What a sextet–and what a fugue at the end–it’s a pleasure. Awful, how pleased I am with myself!” Brahms String Sextet No.1 in B flat Op.18 Brahms’ String Sextet in B flat major is also scored for two violins, two violas and two cellos. At the time there were few precedents for this particular combination of instruments. No doubt this appealed to Brahms who was always conscious of the shadows of his predecessors; shying away from Beethoven’s territory, he did not complete a symphony or string quartet until his 40’s. The work was written in 1859 during a particularly happy time in his life. He had accepted a position teaching and conducting in Detmold, a small principality deep in the forest of Teutoburg 40 miles from Hanover. His despair over the death of Robert Schumann had abated and he could clear his mind there during long walks in the woods. The completed work was sent to his good friend, the violinist, Joseph Joachim, in September of 1860 with the added note: "Send it back if the piece does not appeal to you". It apparently did and was first performed by Joachim and his colleagues in Hanover just the following month. At the first public performance in 1861 it was so well received that it was repeated three times in the next few weeks and was performed in various parts of Germany. One of the finest chamber orchestras in the world, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is renowned for its polished and refined sound, rooted in outstanding musicianship. Formed in 1958 from a group of leading London musicians, and working without a conductor, the Academy gave its first performance in its namesake church on 13th November 1959. Today, the Academy performs some 100 concerts around the world each year, with as many as 15 tours each season. The Academy’s partnership with its founder Sir Neville Marriner remains the most recorded pairing of orchestra and conductor and, with over 500 recordings under its belt, the Academy is one of the most recorded chamber orchestras in the world. Originally directed by Sir Neville from the leader’s chair, the collegiate spirit and flexibility of the original small, conductorless ensemble remains an Academy hallmark. This tradition continues today with the appointment of virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell as its new Music Director in September 2011. Drawn from the principal players of the orchestra, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble was created in 1967 to perform the larger chamber works, from quintets to octets. Its touring commitments are extensive, with annual visits to France, Germany, and Spain, and frequent tours to North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan. | ||

| 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. | ||

| Pittville Pump Room, Cheltenham, Cheltenham GL52 3JE, United Kingdom Wednesday 3-Jul-13 11:00am Schubert, Mozart and Dvorak from the Belceas It is a great pleasure to welcome the Belcea Quartet back to Cheltenham for the opening concert of the 69th Music Festival. Cheltenham performances by the Belceas a decade or more ago played a large part in establishing the quartet, now indisputably one of the world’s most acclaimed chamber ensembles. After music by Schubert and Mozart for three and four, much-admired Austrian pianist Till Fellner makes up a five for Dvorak’s beloved, bountifully melodic quintet. | ||

| St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:45pm Mozart and Handel LORRAINE McASLAN trained in London and at the Juilliard School in New York. Her European debut with the Bern Symphony Orchestra was broadcast live on Swiss Radio. “The Strad” magazine has called her “One of the most distinguished British violinists of her generation.” Her recording career began with sonatas by Elgar and Walton for A.S.V. Then came a highly praised Britten Concerto with the English Chamber Orchestra and Steuart Bedford, several sonata discs and recently Holst’s Song of the Night with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Her recently released performance of the York Bowen violin concerto with the BBC Concert Orchestra on the Dutton label has received extensive critical praise. She plays “Spring” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on London Octave’s CD “Better Baroque”.
LONDON OCTAVE was founded by cellist Dietrich Bethge in 1988 from London's leading musicians, London Octave aims to approach the baroque and classical repertoire in a fresh and vital manner, often without a conductor, but principally for the players’ own enjoyment and the enjoyment of the audience. Through their regular London season at St Martin-in-the-Fields, the South Bank and on BBC Radio 3, London Octave has attracted a loyal following of concert goers who appreciate their vitality and virtuosity. This, coupled with their programmes based on major and accessible works, has established them as one of the leading chamber orchestras in Britain. The members, many of whom have distinguished individual careers, frequently take turns as soloists and leading musicians are often invited to work with the ensemble. During recent seasons, artists include John Lill, Nick van Bloss,William Bennett, Crispian Steele Perkins, Lorraine McAslan, Yvgeny Sudbin, James Bowman, The Tallis Chamber Choir. Dutton recently released a new CD by London Octave (conductor Kypros Markou) featuring works by the early 20th century American composers A.Foote and V.Herbert.
