Mozart wrote his only concerto for clarinet in the space of about ten days, when he was at the height of his powers, and only two months before his tragically early death.  It is a glorious work: the first great concerto for the instrument, and some would say still the greatest, which displays the range and agility of the clarinet as well as its velvety and soulful qualities. Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony is extroverted from the outset, conjuring up the sunny skies and landscapes of the Italian countryside in a virtually flawless assembly of airy and fiery dances, never letting the excitement lapse for a moment. Truly Italian, Rossini’s youthful sonata is a joyous and overtly dramatic example of the Italian tradition of instrumental belcanto with its rapid flourishes, whilst Mascagni’s passionate intermezzo never fails to pull at the heart strings.

This lunchtime programme takes us into the magical world of Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel, courtesy of Rossini and Engelbert Humperdinck. Rossini wrote La Cenerentola when he was 25 years old, following the success of The Barber of Seville, and its overture is characteristically vivid and tuneful. Humperdinck's response to Hansel and Gretel -- the German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm -- is illuminating and this 5-movement Suite, brought together by the American conductor Gerard Schwarz, includes The Witch's Ride, The Gingerbread House, The Witch's Waltz and finally to A Dream Pantomime.

The composer dubbed 'Mr Crescendo' gets this afternoon's concert under way. The whole of Rossini's opera The Italian Girl in Algiers is still regularly staged, unlike many other operas where only the overtures get performed nowadays. The overture begins with a slow introduction featuring an exposed oboe solo. Then, as one might expect, momentum and volume soon increase and we're off in typical Rossini fashion racing towards the finish line.

Viva Italia! Opera Beyond Words

Jones Hall

‘Take me away… I have killed her: Carmen, my beloved!’ Bizet’s Carmen is one of the world’s most popular operas, and with good reason – it’s bursting with melodies that, once heard, are never forgotten. Tonight’s concert climaxes with an orchestral journey through this tale of doomed passion beneath the blazing Spanish sun: from the seductive Habanera to the swaggering Toreador’s Song, it’s just hit after hit after hit.

Rossini always had a flair for the dramatic and his Duetto for Cello and Double Bass is no exception. The piece delights in depth of color, tone and richness, revealing witty melodies and soulful virtuosity. Fauré’s Piano Quartet is a passionate personal statement of the composer, evoking a more somber and serious mood throughout. Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 9, the third in his series of <Razumovsky/> quartets, oscillates between darkness and light while churning with emotional depth and innovative plays on harmony.
