The White Hat Guide to the Harold Lobb Concert Hall, Newcastle Conservatorium of Music
 |
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.

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.

Takács Quartet
|
|
Two of the finest string quartets of the 20th century performed by one of the
world's most respected chamber groups. White Hat suggests that you attend both
of the Takács Quartet concerts if you can. That way you can hear the pair pair
of Janáček quartets and the Ravel & Debussy Quartets (often regarded as a
'pair') both separated across tow nights - in our opinion the best way to hear
them.

Amarcord
|
 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
part-songs by Saint-Saëns,
Schubert,
Mendelssohn,
Poulenc, and folk songs from
around the world. |

Anthony Marwood and Aleksandar Madžar
|
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.
