Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Venice Secrets
|
 White
Hat suggests that for those interested in an introduction to the period
instruments of a Baroque orchestra it would be hard to find a better concert
than this one. Vivaldi, writing to develop and show off the remarkable
instrumental skills of the girls of the Ospedale Dell Pieta made sure
there were passages to parade each instrument briefly in the spotlight as well
as integrating them into the orchestral colour. And for those who need no
introduction to Baroque period instrument performances this concert will provide
you with the opportunity to see whether you agree with White Hat that the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director Paul Dyer) is now of
international standard in its performance on period instruments. The concert
will feature Federico Guglielmo from Italy as guest director and violin soloist.

Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Bach Eternal
|
Between
them , Bach and Handel wrote some of the most glorious choral music of the
Baroque period. Much of it involves collaboration with the orchestra which
sometimes the voices taking the lead and at others the instruments. White Hat
suggests that you are most likely to hear and appreciate this interplay when
period instruments are used at a high standard as you can be assured will happen
when the Brandenburg Choir joins with the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra under Artistic Director and conductor Paul Dyer

Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Dazzling Virtuoso
|
|
Most people know of the surprising loud chord in Haydn's Surprise Symphony.
White Hat suggests that fewer people realise how surprising the opening three
notes by the soloist of Haydn's trumpet concerto were at the time. The
natural trumpet had
already become an accepted part of larger Baroque orchestras but, just like a
bugle, it could basically play fanfares - melodies only being possible at the
top of its range. By the end of the 18th century a
keyed trumpet had been
created to overcome this limitation. It was for this keyed trumpet and the same
particularly skilled player that both Haydn and Hummel wrote their trumpet
concertos. Hummel introduces the trumpet with a suitable fanfare flourish but
Haydn creates the real surprise by having the trumpet play the first three notes
of the major scale in the middle of its range. To see why this was such a
surprise go to The
White Hat Guide to Haydn's Trumpet Concerto.
The keyed trumpet never found widespread use in the orchestra and was
eventually replaced by the
valve trumpet. However Gabriele Cassone from Italy has become a
skilled performer on the keyed trumpet so when he joins with the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director Paul Dyer) you know you are in for
a truly surprising concert.

Monteverdi's L'Orfeo
|
In
the early 17th century, Claudio
Monteverdi was one of of a handful of Italian composers pioneering a new
form of music drama which we know now as opera. His
L'Orfeo is one of the earliest
operas ever written and , in White Hat's opinion, still one of the best. It
calls on the full palette of the Renaissance orchestra as well as the virtuoso
vocal techniques of the time. This performance presents one of the rare
opportunities to hear it in Australia performed with period instruments. Markus
Brutscher fro will perform m Germany) Orfeo with international and
Australian guest artists and the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director and conductor Paul Dyer)

Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Beautiful Minds
|
|
In
an age when "awesome" has come to mean fleetingly interesting rather than
inspiring awe, you could be forgiven for ignoring the publicist's attachment of
the word "beautiful minds" to this concert. However in this case White Hat
believes the hype is well founded. To have written magical works by your mid
teens and by your death in your mid thirties to have left the world with some of
its most glorious music does require a beautiful mind and both Mozart and
Mendelssohn possessed one.
Mozart's clarinet concerto was written for the basset clarinet of the period
but is most often heard today on the modern orchestral clarinet involving the
minor rewriting of some of the passages featuring the lower notes. Only a few
notes you may say, but with Mozart every note is important. Here is a rare
opportunity to hear Mozart's clarinet concerto featuring the instruments for
which he wrote it.Craig Hill (bassett clarinet) and Madeleine Easton (period
violin) perform with the
Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra (Artistic Director Paul Dyer)
