Sunday Chamber Music – 2

BFO Rehearsal Hall

Welcome to a concert with Esbjerg Ensemble's own musicians as soloists and with oboe, horn and percussion at the center. 

Look forward to Gerald Finzi's beautiful  Interlude in A minor , played by our oboist David Daniel Dinu, where the interaction with the homogeneous sound of the string quartet emphasizes the lyrical sound of the oboe. And to Jovilet's Sérénade , where the oboe is again at the forefront of the soundscape, but in the interaction with the rest of the ensemble retains its chamber musical expression.

The Bethlehem Chapel

Five composers explore the chamber genre with stunning results, from Saint-Saëns’s spectacular duo for violin and harp, to Ravel’s concerto-like piece for harp, winds, and strings, to Jolivet’s magical, sonorous lamentation. A bountiful cast of artists combines to offer unrivaled sonic and artistic diversity.

The deaths of Shostakovich, Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin and the disbanding of the Beatles was set against Miles Davis’ jazz/rock fusion revolution and the birth of heavy metal (Black Sabbath) and techno (Kraftwerk).

The wind quintet has the challenge, as well as the benefit, of bringing together five distinct instruments to explore multiple blends of timbres. Klughardt's work is a beautiful example of great writing for each of the five, and the addition of piano in Louise Farenc's Sextet provides expanded sonic dimensions and is a true tour de force for the pianist. The program is balanced with smaller combinations featuring double reeds, the regal sound of the horn, and upper winds.
