Melbourne Town Hall Proms - Tognetti Plays Mendelssohn
|
|
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Nigel Westlake (conductor), MSO Chorus,
Richard Tognetti (violin) and Simon Casey (treble).
Although Mendelssohn wrote more than one violin concerto, the Violin
Concerto in E minor is universally referred to as the Mendelssohn
Violin Concerto. It deserves its position as one of the most popular, most
tuneful and beautifully crafted concertos in the repertoire. Australian composer
Nigel Westlake, possibly best known as a composer of film music (including
award-winning scores for Babe, Miss Potter, Antarctica and
Solarmax) introduces his newest and powerful work born out of profound
tragedy

St Lawrence String Quartet and Diana Doherty
|
 White
Hat suggests that lovers of the oboe should head out of their way for this
concert. Diana Doherty is an Australian oboist who has won international
acclaim. In this concert she joins with the fine St Lawrence String Quartet to
perform Mozart's F major oboe quartet which is tuneful and refined - you would
expect nothing less of Mozart and later performs Australian composer Matthew
Hindson's Rush with its driving rhythms borrowing strongly from rock and
pop music. Mozart's quartet is flanked by string quartets from fellow Viennese,
Haydn and Beethoven.

Melbourne Town Hall Proms - Beethoven and Dvorák
|
|
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Andrew Grams (conductor) and Andreas
Haefliger (piano).
The inspiration of the folk music and culture of his native Bohemia invests
Dvorák’s music with enormous energy and spirit, and his Seventh Symphony
explodes with all the passion and vigour of this inspiration. Paired with works
by two German masters who inspired him, this concert of great classics is pure
delight.
Dvorák took the Germane tradition of music developed by Beethoven and Brahms
and combined it with inspiration drawn from the folk music and culture of his
native Bohemia to create the wonderful Symphony No.7. It is both tuneful and
exuberant and well suited to a prom concert.

Australian String Quartet - Legacy
|
The Australian
String Quartet's second concert in their 2011 combines early Beethoven, late
Brahms and the Australian composer Brett Dean who will also be playing viola.
White Hat suggests that the richness of texture provided by the additional viola
should make this a particularly satisfying concert.

Beethoven 9 - Ode to Joy
|
The Australian Chamber Orchestra with Richard Tognetti (Artistic Director
and Lead Violin), Choir of Clare College, Cambridge (Graham Ross
Director), Lucy Crowe (soprano), Fiona Campbell (mezzo soprano),
Allan Clayton (tenor) Matthew Brook (bass)
White Hat has long believed that many modern performance of Beethoven
symphonies by large symphony orchestras lack the vitality and drive of a
performance by a first rate chamber orchestra - supplemented where necessary -
of the proportions that Beethoven was writing for For those who share this view
we suggest you look no further. Critics called the ACO's recent Beethoven
concert in London “the finest concert of the summer” and spoke of
“thrilling playing”, “vibrant drive” and “total involvement”,
concluding, “this compact chamber orchestra matches anything Europe can offer
in energy, precision and interpretative rigour.”
Joined by one of the finest British choirs this concert promises to be
something special where every note Beethoven wrote can be heard rather than lost
in a sea of overblown orchestral 'atmosphere'.

Beethoven's Kreutzer
Sonata is justifiably well-known and loved as one of the great works of
the violin sonata repertoire. However White Hat believes that
Debussy's Violin
Sonata, the last work he completed and the last that he performed in
public, is yet to be afforded the status it deserves by the public. This fine
pair of instrumentalists are sure to do them both justice.
