VIP Anneliene Van Wauwe Soloist with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Performing Mozart Clarinet Concerto K622 (on Short notice)  - Buxton Opera House

 

Liverpool, United Kingdom

 

Annelien Van Wauwe

  1. information

 

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!

 

11 November 2016 - 8 PM

VIP Marie Ross in Concert with Early Instruments

Brugges, Belgium

 

 

 

 

 

"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.

About

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.

It gives us a great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural festival/competition —
we hope that it will become an important cultural event in a very near future!

We are also very happy that in the second round of a competition the compulsory composition will be "Verdiana", a work written for Julian Milkis  by a very talented American composer Alexey Shor. We are sure that very soon "Verdiana" will become a part of a standard repertoire for both clarinet and saxophone!

Sincerely,
Hayrapet Arakelyan, Julian Milkis
