VIP Anneliene Van Wauwe performs Mozart Clarinet Quintet K581 with Dukok String Quartet Amsterdam at the Verdi Conservatory

Milan, Italy

Dudok Quartet Amsterdam
Annelien Van Wauwe clarinetto

Program:

Ligeti – Quartetto n. 1 “Métamorphoses nocturnes”
Mendelssohn – Quartetto n. 6 in fa minore op. 80
Mozart – Quintetto per clarinetto e archi in la maggiore K 581

                      Sono i freschi vincitori del Borletti Buitoni Trust Award 2018, l’olandese Dudok Kwartet e la clarinettista belga Annelien Van Wauwe e insieme affrontano un tour europeo che li porterà a debuttare anche al Quartetto. Il pezzo più pregiato della serata è ovviamente il Quintetto con clarinetto di Mozart. Scritto nel penultimo anno di vita, pensato per il clarinettista amico (e finanziatore) Anton Stadler è contemporaneo dell’estremo Requiem, del quale condivide la serena dolcezza melodica e la forte vitalità armonica. Lo interpreta la clarinettista belga Annelien Van Wauwe, già allieva di Sabine Meyer e ora docente ad Anversa, ormai da un decennio solista assieme a grandi orchestre, a suo agio sia su strumenti antichi che moderni, su musiche del passato e del contemporaneo.
Ma ci sono cose preziose nella prima parte, affidata al solo Dudok Qwartet: il primo Quartetto del giovane Ligeti è di riconosciuta ispirazione bartókiana. Legato all’estremo Beethoven è il sesto e ultimo quartetto di Mendelssohn, dedicato alla memoria della sorella.
