FREDDY KEMPFWorld War One Commemoration Piano RecitalPiano Freddy Kempf

BEETHOVEN Sonata No. 27 in E minor, Op. 90ELGAR Echo’s Dance from The Sanguine FanRAVEL Le Tombeau de Couperin GERSHWIN Rialto RipplesRACHMANINOV Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, Op. 36 (1913)

Croydon-born pianist Freddy Kempf returns to Fairfield with a recital marking thecentenary of the First World War. The programme opens with Beethoven’s SonataNo. 27, composed exactly 100 years before the outbreak of the conflict. Elgar’sballet The Sanguine Fan was composed and performed in 1917 at the suggestion ofhis close friend and confidante Lady Alice Stuart-Wortley to raise money for wartimecharities. Each of the six movements in Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin is dedicatedto the memory of a friend of the composer who had died fighting in World War I.Composed between 1914 and 1917, the work is perhaps surprisingly light-heartedand reflective rather than sombre; but as Ravel commented, “The dead are sadenough, in their eternal silence.” The lighter tone continues with Gershwin’s playfulrag, Rialto Ripples, composed in 1917, before we are treated to the lushRomanticism of Rachmaninov’s Piano Sonata No. 2.

These two piecesare linked by friendship: Beethoven’s ArchdukeTrio was dedicated to his friend and compositionstudent, Archduke Rudolph of Austria (hence thenickname) and Tchaikovsky’s work was subtitled‘In memory of a great artist’, in reference to thepianist Nikolai Rubinstein, his friend and mentor.

RACHMANINOV Piano Concerto No. 2

BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 5

‘Alessio Bax made his first entry and it was clearwithin minutes that here at last was a pianistwith the style, the sound, the breadth oftechnique and, above all, the ability to listenand participate in a spontaneous give-and-takeinterpretation.’ The Times

With glorious melodies, extensive lyricism anddivine harmonies, it’s no wonder Rachmaninov’sPiano Concerto No. 2 is known as the greatest andrecreating these memorable moments is the youngvirtuoso Alessio Bax. A dazzling curtain raiser andanother Russian masterpiece, Glinka’s whirlwindOverture to Russlan and Ludmilla has an excitingcombination of earthy exuberance and heroicfeeling. Alexander Shelley, a remarkable youngconductor, leads the orchestra through this concertfull of energy and splendour.

ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRAJanina Fialkowska Performs Mozart

Conductor Michał NesterowiczPiano Janina Fialkowska

MENDELSSOHN Hebrides Overture MOZART Piano Concerto No. 24DVORÁK Symphony No. 8

‘In Fialkowska’s hands, the notes wafted by in pearlyelegance. This was not a brash soloist but a moremodest collaborator, changing the star-vehiclenature of the modern piano concerto.’The Toronto Star

Enchanting audiences worldwide, esteemed virtuosoJanina Fialkowska performs Mozart’s Piano ConcertoNo. 24. At the summit of Mozart’s creative genius, thework’s unique quality is fashioned through theominous darkness of the minor key and atouch of Mozart’s elegance, rendering itall the more poignant.

Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overturedepicts the Scottish scenery at Fingal’sCave with mysteriously intensemelodies and calmer passages,capturing both the stormy tides andstill waters. Dvorák’s EighthSymphony is one of his mostexuberant works, drawing onBohemian folk music for inspiration.

ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRAScheherazadeConductor Eduardo PortalCello Natalie Clein

SMETANA The Bartered Bride Overture DVORÁK Cello ConcertoRIMSKY-KORSAKOV Scheherazade

‘She is a graceful, lyrical player with a sound like a fine-spun silver thread. Yet Iwas both impressed and emotionally moved by her playing of [Britten's] third suite.Clein was alert to every passing nuance.’ The Times

A display of quintessentially Czech music from two Bohemian legends, with Smetana’sexhilarating Overture to his first and most enduring comic opera The Bartered Bride andDvorák’s magnificent Cello Concerto, performed by world-class cellist Natalie Clein.Although composed in America, it expresses the melodic inflections derived from Czechfolk music with a continuous flow of invention and lyricism.

Young Spanish Maestro Eduardo Portal will lead the orchestra in the tale of ‘OneThousand and One Nights’ in Rimsky-Korsakov’s colourful epic, Scheherazade. Themysteriously haunting sound of the violin voice of Scheherazade, as she calms the Sultan’smenacing brass fanfares, along with the strumming of the harp, calls to mind a mysticalfar-away land.
