International Mendelssohn Festival 2024

This concert marks the end of the 10th edition of the International Mendelssohn Festival and presents a »colourful series« of musical treasures. It begins with Schubert’s monumental Octet for mixed winds and strings, which, in his own words, is already »on the way to becoming a great symphony«. The Duetto for cello and double bass by Giaochino Rossini is less well known. The three-movement piece in D major is a true duo: both voices are almost equal and talk to each other. Everyone first associates Puccini with opera; his song »Storiella d’amore« is performed on stage as an arrangement for clarinet and string quintet. Also included: George Gershwin’s world-famous »Rhapsody in Blue« for clarinet, string quartet and double bass, which promises a colourful array of rhythms and harmonies from jazz and blues. Finally, a crowning finale that unites all the evening’s musicians: a world premiere by Fredrik Schwenk, »Bunte Reihe, einmal wohltemperiert«, a fantasy about the number 24 for 12 instruments.

International Mendelssohn Festival 2024

Fri, Sep 20, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
André Cazalet (French horn), Michel Lethiec (Clarinet), Jean-Louis Capezzali (Oboe), Matthias Lingenfelder (Violin), Hartmut Rohde (Viola), Frans Helmerson (Cello), Arto Noras (Cello), Oliver Triendl (Piano), Jan Talich (Violin), Roman Patočka (Violin), Radim Sedmidubský (Viola), Michal Kaňka (Cello)
Mikhail Glinka’s »Divertimento brillante« dates from a time when Glinka was living in Italy and saw the world premiere of Bellini’s bel canto opera »La Sonnambula« at La Scala in Milan. The melodic material comes from this opera, Glinka’s Divertimento consists of just one long movement with a brilliant finale, from which the work undoubtedly takes its name. The first half of the concert focuses on Finland’s musical heritage, including »Don Juanquijoten Virtuoosinen Pöytämusiikki« (The Virtuoso Table Music of Don Quixote) by Aulis Sallinen, which was written to celebrate the 70th birthday of cellist Arto Noras and premiered by Noras in Helsinki in 2012. Noras himself also performs this work here in Hamburg. In Janáček’s »Moravian Folk Poetry in Songs«, the stage belongs entirely to the strings of the Czech Talich Quartet, while Dohnányi’s Sextet, Op. 73 forms the finale, a work composed entirely in the spirit of late Romanticism, yet also infected by the zeitgeist: with a kind of ragtime for clarinet and piano in the finale.
