VIP Anneliene Van Wauwe
Soloist with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Performing Mozart Clarinet Concerto
K622 (on Short notice) - Buxton Opera House
Cristian Mandeal, conductor Annelien Van Wauwe, clarinet
Program:
Debussy, Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune
Mozart, Concerto in
A major for Clarinet and Orchestra, K. 622
Brahms, Symphony
No. 3 in F major, Opus 90
'Free but happy' is the
motto of Brahms’s Third
Symphony and from
sweeping opening to majestic sunset of a finish, he never wrote anything
more personal or poetic. It’s a long way from the silken sensuality of
Debussy’s Prélude.
But as Romanian conductor Cristian Mandeal knows,
music’s all about the journey – and it’s been said that Saint-Saëns’ second
piano concerto begins in a nunnery and ends in revelry!
"Old News" is an exciting new research-based
early music concert series at the Concertgebouw Brugge. On Friday my
wind octet will perform as we take the audience inside the music,
explaining how it was written and the performance culture of the period.
I was interviewed along with a few early music performer/researchers
about the new series for the Concertgebouw Magazine. In case you are
curious, here it is in English! ...
1. Could you give us a three-sentence outline of your research project?
One of the most popular forms of entertainment in the classical era was
music for wind octet, and the bulk of the repertoire were arrangements
of opera tunes, many of which were written by the players for their own
ensembles. This research gives a detailed look at how the classical
arrangers were writing for the octet: the roles of each instrument, and
how instrumentation created colors and helped portray the original
operatic characters in the wind versions. This analysis of the classical
arranging style is used as a basis to create new arrangements of
Mozart’s works for historical instruments, written for The Royal
Windplayers, with a few original elements added for modern tastes and
concert culture.
2. How does it work for an audience, ‘sounding’ research on stage? This
concert will be an audible guide to the wind octet. “Sounding” research
gives the audience the unique experience of hearing musical details as
they are explained. The subtle differences between how two arrangers
voice a chord, how eight bars of Figaro’s aria sounds when scored with
the bassoon or oboe playing the melody, or how the same piece sounds in
different keys with the horns using E-flat or C-basso crooks can all be
demonstrated live, providing an unprecedented depth of understanding.
Wind octet arrangements were traditionally made by the performers
themselves, so it is fitting to have a performer explaining how the
research is used to create new works for the individual players on
stage, as in the classical era.
3. What would you like to research next? Owning a collection of various
Romantic clarinets made by Oskar Oehler, I am delving into research of
these instruments, their ties to the music of Johannes Brahms, and the
performance practice of the Romantic period. I will be playing a series
of recitals this summer of both Brahms clarinet sonatas on these
original instruments in the rarely heard historical Romantic style.
Great and highly colourful stories
throughout the ages
Period
instruments? Dust them off and we simply travel back in time,
right? Or is there more to it? We have become so accustomed to
the sound of (copies of) period instruments that we might assume
that the battle has already been won. But actually we still have
much more to learn. That has become very evident from the
revelations of our current research into historical performance
practice. And that research deserves its own showcase in Bruges.
On this concert trail – illustrated in each case by a ‘classic’
- Claire Chevallier explains the sound, construction and
restoration of a unique Russian piano, Chouchane Siranossian the
performance of Tartini's extremely virtuoso Devil’s Trill Sonata,
and Marie Ross her research into Harmoniemusik,
the lively tradition of arranging popular (opera) melodies
for wind ensemble. Three mini-concerts by exhilarating artists.
