Time to revive this thread.
As we attend 20-30 concerts a year, there is enough material to write about, but sometimes we lack the time or energy... Just back now from a concert where La Petite Bande brought Vivaldi in our town's main church. Wonderful, with elegant Sara Kuijken as first violin in La Follia and The Four Seasons. She played in a most delicate and refined way. Sigiswald played a Cello Concerto on his violoncello da spalla.

Brussels Philharmonic New Year's Concert at Bruges
We're just back from a great concert.
Annelien van Wauwe is a rising star on the clarinet. The Brussels Philharmonic has toured through Europe, the States and Asia, and is a very solid orchestra. A surprisingly young but confident conductor, who learnt his job as an assistent to Barenboim. The concert was sold out. I suspect some people came especially for the waltzes, but the rest of the programme was much more interesting. Programme Georges Bizet (1838-1875) Carmen suite no. 1 (1875) Carl-Maria von Weber (1786-1826) Clarinet concerto no.1 in f, opus 73 (1811) Charles-Marie Widor (1845-1937) Introduction and rondo, opus 72 (arrangement for clarinet and orchestra) Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) La Valse (1919) Johann Strauss jr. (1825-1899) An der schönen blauen Donau, opus 314 (1867) Performers Brussels Philharmonic, Victorien Vanoosten Annelien Van Wauwe, clarinet

Van Wauwe was terrific in the Von Weber.
I adore that work. The Widor is very difficult and most interesting piece. It was the long time test piece for candidate clarinettists of the Paris Opera. After the concert, the mayor of Bruges invited us for a reception. Nice event! We left with a warm feeling!

Last night: Kent Tritle conducted soloists Susanna Phillips and Takaoki Onishi with the 200-voice Oratorio Society of New York and orchestra in the U.S. premiere of the New Critical Edition of Brahms’ A German Requiem. At Carnegie Hall. It was most enjoyable. Last Thursday I enjoyed the final rehearsal before the North American Premier of Jörg Widmann’s “Babylon” Suite. Also, Symphonia Domestica, Op. 53, the tone poem for large orchestra by Richard Strauss. This was at Lincoln Center. |
