Composer

Our joint recital will present beautiful music spanning from the baroque to the modern era. The first half of the recital will feature Anaeli Gutierrez on flute, accompanied in two pieces by Lauren Hsu on piano, and Enmanuel Rodriguez on guitar. Listeners will hear contrasts between lively and technical passages such as in Piazolla's Histoire du Tango - Bordel 1900 and Kuhlau’s Variations on The Last Rose of Summer, as well as elegant lyrical passages found in Telemann’s Fantasie No. 5 and Suite en Duo by Jean Cras. Our second half of the recital will bring pieces from the renowned composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Esteban Salas Villela will perform Bach's Cello Suite Number 1, arranged for the classical guitar. These pieces allude to dances from the baroque era that still resonate through time.

Kuhlau, Martinu, and Brahms

If you were at the first performance of Beethoven's Eroica in 1805, one was at a revolutionary, musical historical event. The symphony broke the boundaries. It is the beginning of Beethoven's heroic period, where the music is characterized by the idea of man's, the hero's, struggle for freedom. From the 1st movement bursting with thoughtfulness in the 2nd movement's mourning march and the energy of the 3rd movement, to the finale, which is not tritely triumphant, but subtle and surprising. Even today, when the symphony has been heard countless times, it can blow one away, and stands as one of the greatest symphonies ever. Kuhlau knew Beethoven and conducted his works in Copenhagen. In addition, he traveled twice to Vienna, where he visited him. The music for the play William Shakespeare and to Elverhøj was composed after that – by a German-born Danish composer, inspired by a revolutionary composer.
