OML Season Opening Concert 25-26
Schubert was a great composer of melodies – more than six hundred songs that established musical romanticism. But he was also a classicist, in the Vienna tradition. His Third Symphony, in which this latter facet predominates, with formal rigour and resourceful dialogues between the different groups, is revisited here. Because it’s all about classicism, this programme opens with Haydn’s first cello concerto, albeit transfigured in the trumpet of Sergei Nakariakov, a virtuoso performer who has been adding worlds to his instrument’s repertoire.
On a more irreverent note, he is then joined by pianist Vasco Dantas to play Chostakovich’s double concerto. Eclectic, humorous and perhaps satirical, this work mixes popular and classical sounds. Towards the end, there is a jocular quotation of the theme from a Piano Sonata by Haydn.
