SUMMARY:Letters from Tchaikovsky
DESCRIPTION:In the lush\, lingering melodies\, a certain Russian pathos never seems far away. Long snowy nights\, tender childhood memories\, glimpses of lost love and unspoken passion… \nBy turns virtuosic and intimate\, passionate and lyrical\, Tchaikovsky is the quintessential Romantic—conjuring powerful emotions with his heart on his sleeve. This program is a wonderful opportunity to hear the extraordinary talents of MCO’s string musicians at their best—with Tchaikovsky’s breathtaking showpiece for string orchestra\, the Serenade for Strings\, the charming Album for the Young and Souvenir d’un lieu cher\, imaginative variations by Arensky and witty dances by Shostakovich. \nARENSKY\nVariations on a theme of Tchaikovsky Op 35a\nSHOSTAKOVICH\nThree Fantastic Dances Op 5 (arr string orchestra)\nTCHAIKOVSKY arr DUBINSKY\nAlbum for the Young Op 39: selections (arr string orchestra)\nTCHAIKOVSKY arr BUC\nSouvenir d’un lieu cher Op 42 (arr violin and string orchestra)\nSerenade for Strings Op 48\nTCHAIKOVSKY\nSerenade for Strings Op 48 \nShane Chen VIOLIN\nWilliam Hennessy DIRECTOR

SUMMARY:Mendelssohn’s Octet
DESCRIPTION:Full to the brim with infectious vitality\, Mendelssohn’s Octet is one of the true life-affirming pinnacles of Western music.

SUMMARY:Towards Eternity
DESCRIPTION:A project curated by Genevieve Lacey \nTowards Eternity is a musical meditation spanning a millennium: a soulful\, joyful tracing of our most ineffable selves.

SUMMARY:Concert Grand
DESCRIPTION:Two ecstatic Classical masterpieces by two of the greatest composers—quite simply a concert to leave you uplifted and elated. \nBeethoven burst onto Vienna’s orchestral scene in 1800 with his resplendent first symphony. Dramatic\, witty\, majestic\, and joyous by turns\, this is Beethoven at his high-energy\, optimistic best. \nMozart’s Piano Concerto No 23 is one of the best-loved of all works for piano and orchestra. To perform it\, we have the remarkable Lucinda Collins\, admired by MCO’s Artistic Director William Hennessy as “an ideal in pianism\, musical thought\, intelligence\, and passionate musical communication.” \nDEBUSSY arr NILSON\nPréludes Book 1: selections\nMOZART\nPiano Concerto No 17 in G major K453\nMENDELSSOHN\nPiano Concerto in A minor MWV O2: II Adagio\nBEETHOVEN\nSymphony No 1 in C major Op 21 \nLucinda Collins PIANO\nWilliam Hennessy DIRECTOR

SUMMARY:Songs of the Night
DESCRIPTION:The night is full of light—the twinkle of a carpet of stars\, shards of moonlight piercing the forest canopy\, romance kindled by the embers of a fire—but outshining them all\, a song from the heart. \nFollowing on from her acclaimed MCO directing début in 2015 with The Gypsy Palace\, Rebecca Chan returns with a sonorous and lush nocturnal vision\, including Wagner’s passionate Prelude from Tristan und Isolde and Schoenberg’s twilit confession for strings\, Verklärte Nacht. \nTenor Andrew Goodwin’s career has hit the stratosphere\, singing major roles at opera houses across Europe to enormous acclaim. He sings haunting night-themed lieder reimagined in sumptuous new string orchestra arrangements\, including Schoenberg’s Waldesnacht and Schubert’s Der Erlkönig. \nPRAISE FOR ANDREW GOODWIN: \n“one of those performances that lives in the memory for days”\n— Sydney Morning Herald \nWAGNER arr GÜRTLER\nPrelude from Tristan und Isolde (arr string orchestra)\nSTRAUSS\nDie Nacht*\nSCHOENBERG\nWaldesnacht*\nVerklärte Nacht*\nBARTOK\nString Quartet No 4: II Prestissimo\nMENDELSSOHN\nA Midsummer Night’s Dream: Scherzo*\nSKIPWORTH\nNew Work\nSCHUBERT\nNacht und Träume D827*\nWinterreise D911: Gute Nacht*\nNachtstück D672*\nDer Erlkönig D328*\n*arr string orchestra by Rebecca Chan \nWorld première season.

SUMMARY:Beyond Baroque
DESCRIPTION:From an unrivalled musical pedigree and education\, JS Bach’s sons blazed a revolutionary path. With Telemann and others\, they were the avant-garde forging a new style. Combining awe-inspiring virtuosity\, deep feeling\, and brilliant colours\, this is the music that inspired the Classical era. Rarely heard today\, these are some of the most exciting and inventive compositions for chamber orchestra and we can’t wait to share them with you. \nChristopher Moore is one of Australia’s most recognised chamber musicians\, a viola superstar whose verve and mastery of the instrument has seen him perform for audiences all over the world. He performs the great Telemann viola concerto\, often thought to be the first solo concerto for the instrument\, and a meticulous reconstruction of a lost viola concerto from JS Bach’s own transcriptions. \nCPE BACH\nSinfonia in E minor Wq177 Fandango\nTELEMANN\nViola Concerto in G major TWV51:G9\nOuverture Les Nations TWV55:B5\nWF BACH\nSymphony in F major F67\nJS BACH\nConcerto for Viola in E flat major BWV1053R (reconstructed by Wilfried Fischer) \nChristopher Moore VIOLA\nWilliam Hennessy DIRECTOR

SUMMARY:RESONANCES: Music from Japan
DESCRIPTION:Pianists Tomoe Kawabata and Aura Go share an electric musical connection that speaks directly to audiences. Described as ‘positively ecstatic’\, ‘masterful’ and ‘profoundly moving’\, the pair delights in sharing the unique combination of intimacy and dynamism of the piano duo. Their innovative and thoughtful programming explores seldom-performed works and new music alongside much-loved staples of the repertoire. Their 2017 Melbourne Recital Centre series celebrates three favourite aspects of the genre in three distinct and compelling programs: unique resonances\, evocative and colourful sonic landscapes\, and infectious energy. \nResonances: Music from Japan is a rare opportunity to hear spellbinding works for one and two pianos by several of Japan’s foremost composers. This concert reveals the unique resonances created by blending two pianos into one sonic entity\, while also tracing the lineage of Japan’s French school of composition\, fathered by Tomojiro Ikenouchi and pushed into bold new directions by his students Akira Miyoshi\, Akio Yashiro and Shin-ichiro Ikebe. Several of the works on the program were recorded for the first time by the Kawabata-Go Piano Duo on their CD\, Five Rocks in a Japanese Garden\, and receive their first Australian performance in this concert. \nPROGRAM: \nTomojiro Ikenouchi\nEn Bis pour piano à 4 mains \nAkio Yashiro\nSonata for piano \nAkira Miyoshi\nPhénomène sonore I pour deux pianos \nPhénomène sonore II pour deux pianos \nHenri Dutilleux\nFigures de resonances\, for two pianos \nShin-ichiro Ikebe\nA couple of butterflies through…

SUMMARY:Rococo Cello
DESCRIPTION:Gilt-edged\, electrifying beauty; opulence\, pomp\, exuberance and glamour. Welcome to the sparkling pleasure domes of the Rococo. \nThe early Classical period was a golden age of arts patronage\, as nobles and merchants across Europe outdid each other with fabulous private commissions in every artform. In the ornate halls of the Esterházys\, Frederick the Great and the Duke of Bavaria\, the symphonies\, operas and concerti of Mozart\, Haydn and CPE Bach were first brought to life. \nDescribed by Gramophone as “A superbly stylish\, raptly intuitive performer\,” Li-Wei Qin is a globe-trotting cello virtuoso\, in demand worldwide as a concerto and recital artist. He joins MCO to serve us a double treat\, with CPE Bach’s scintillating A-major concerto and one of the great tours de force of the cello repertoire\, the Variations on a Rococo Theme by Tchaikovsky. \nPRAISE FOR LI-WEI QIN: \n“…meltingly beautiful tone\, flawless centered intonation and an ironclad technique”\n— New York Times \nMOZART\nIdomeneo: Overture & Chaconne\nCPE BACH\nCello Concerto in A major Wq172\nHAYDN\nSymphony No 88 Letter V\nTCHAIKOVSKY\nVariations on a Rococo Theme Op 33 \nLi-Wei Qin CELLO\nMichael Dahlenburg CONDUCTOR\nWilliam Hennessy DIRECTOR
