The White Hat guide to Franz Schubert
 |
Trio Dali
|
The young and glamorous French trio are named after a Chinese marble, rather
than the Spanish artist. With two of the great works from the piano trio
repertoire, White Hat suspects this may turn out to be a memorable concert.

Danielle de Niese with the Australian Chamber Orchestra
|
Danielle de Niese (soprano)
has long been on White Hat's list of
Significant Melbourne People.
She was born in Melbourne and won Young Talent Time aged 9,
then moved to Los Angeles, won an Emmy and made her debut with the LA Opera aged
15. She has blossomed into one of the hottest properties in opera, enrapturing
audiences in roles like Cleopatra, Euridice and Susanna at Glyndebourne, the
Metropolitan Opera and on screen.
To celebrate her professional debut in her home country, De Niese sings a
specially commissioned Australian work, which also marks the centenary of
Australia’s Nobel laureate
Patrick White. The fireworks of
Mozart's
Exsultate jubilatee
is contrasted Schubert's haunting song, Death and the Maiden. The
Australian Chamber Orchestra (Richard Tognetti Artistic Director and Lead
Violin) will then perform Schubert's masterly quartet (arranged for string
orchestra) which uses that same song as an inspiration.

Trout Quintet & Quartet for the End of Time
|
A rare treat. Two of what White Hat regards as the finest works in the chamber
music repetoire presented in the one concert. The Schubert
Trout Quintet is full of sunshine
and youthful optimism while Messiaen's
Quartet for the
End of Time is, in White Hat's opinion, one of the great works of the
20th century. A prisoner of war, Messiaen wrote the Quartet for the End of Time for the
musicians he found in the camp, premiering it to an audience of inmates and
guards. “Never” he said, "was I listened to with such rapt attention and
comprehension."
Australian Chamber Orchestra Principals are joined by clarinettist Paul Dean
and dynamic young pianist Saleem Abboud Ashkar, making his Australian debut.The
performers are Helena Rathbone (violin), Christopher Moore (viola), Timo-Veikko
Valve (cello), Maxime Bibeau (double bass), Paul Dean (clarinet) and Saleem
Abboud Ashkar (piano).

White Hat suggests that if you want to become a world class a capella ensemble,
a good tsarting point is growing up singing Bach as boy sopranos in the Leipzig
church where Bach himself presided. Since that time Amacord have gone on to be
regarded as one of the finest male vocal ensembles in the world.

 White
Hat suggests that if you love unaccompanied singing you take several weeks off
work and visit "a cappella" - the annual international festival of
unaccompanied vocal music in Leipzig - where you will hear great a cappella
ensembles from around the world. If you don't have that time or cash to spare, a
much cheaper but highly satisfying option is to head along to this concert
performed by the ensemble who initiated the festival and who are recognised as
one of the finest male vocal ensembles in the world.
Tales of Love and Murder. Renaissance madrigals by Encina,
des Prez,
Lassus,
Gesualdo and others, and

Mendelssohn,
Poulenc, and folk songs from
around the world.

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.
