ROMANCE & REVIVAL Liszt, Bruckner and Monteverdi

Londinium
Madeleine Lovell (conductor)

Monteverdi: Beatus Vir; Domine ne in furore tuo
Bruckner: Locus iste, Os Justi, Christus factus est
Liszt: Missa Choralis

‘Romance and Revival’ combines the drama of Romanticism with the stylistic purity of the late Italian Renaissance. The programme shows Liszt’s and Bruckner’s romantic interest in reviving the music of the distant past, in order to rediscover a simplicity of expression found in the music of Monteverdi and earlier composers.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Vernon Handley - the Best of British Classics

Vernon Handley (Conductor)
Guy Johnston (Cello)

Elgar: Serenade for Strings
Walton: Cello Concerto
Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 4

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra presents Vernon Handley conducting the Best of British Classics as part of the Green and Pleasant Land series.

The title of Serenade masks the depth of feeling to be found in the central slow movement of Elgar's intimate creation. Walton's Cello Concerto is full of Mediterranean warmth; music of vivid contrasts, languid, energetic and refreshingly unconventional in shape. Vaughan Williams completed his Forth Symphony just a few years short of World War II. It is an angry and intense work and speaks of unsettled times while also being a symphony of the utmost artistic integrity; a potent and invigorating work.

Julie Sassoon, piano and voice, with Tom Cawley's Curios

Tom Cawley (piano)
Sam Burgess (bass)
Josh Blackmore (drums)
Julie Sassoon (piano)

Jazz in the House

Julie Sassoon is a pianist/composer who combines the passionate lyricism of composers like Scriabin & Rachmaninov with the jazz and rhythmic sensibilities of a Keith Jarrett. The Curios' album Hidden was one of the most highly rated of 2007, being nominated in the BBC Jazz Awards and reaching the Top 5 in the HMV & Radio 3 jazz charts. Cawley is an astonishing pianist, equally at home in the 'in your face' punk jazz of Acoustic Ladyland and in the music of the romantic classical composers, and the combination of his 'state of the art trio' (TimeOut) with Julie Sassoon's improvisations for piano and voice promises an evening of rare quality.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Daniele Gatti and Julian Rachlin - Brahms and Strauss

Daniele Gatti (Conductor)
Julian Rachlin (Violin)

Brahms: Tragic Overture
Brahms: Violin Concerto
Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra presents Daniele Gatti & Julian Rachlin performing Brahms & Strauss

Brahms composed his Violin Concerto in 1878, dedicating it to his friend Joseph Joachim, who advised the composer on the violin writing and gave the first performance. The Concerto was slow to find favour; some critics finding it too long, too modern and even tuneless, although it has since become one of the best-loved concertos in the repertoire. Richard Strauss completed his gigantic orchestral tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra in 1896, basing it on Nietzsche’s great philosophical book of the same name. Strauss translates Nietzsche’s thoughts on religion, nature, humanity, love and learning into a sequence of extraordinary musical chapters, opening with the celebrated sunrise theme that was later used to powerful effect by Stanley Kubrick in his lavish ‘space odyssey’

Jazz in the House

According to the late George Melly, Sarah Moule’s voice ‘has something of the melancholy gaiety of Billie Holiday’ and in the opinion of the prestigious Jazz Times USA it is ‘sweet and salty, and hauntingly gorgeous’. Simon Wallace is not only a fine jazz piano player but also one of the most respected MDs in theatre and television.

Clément Janequin (1485 - 1558) - La guerre
Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 - 1611) - Missa pro Victoria
Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 - 1611) - Ave Maria a 8
Joan Cererols (1618 - 1680) - ¡Ay! que me muero
Joan Cererols (1618 - 1680) - Suspended, cielos, vuestro dulce canto

Orlando Chamber Choir will battle it out with a famous French song of battle, and win with a Spanish Mass for Victory.

In the famous chanson La guerre by Clément Janequin (1485 - 1558) the choir imitates hectic sounds of battle including trumpet calls, cannon fire and cries of victory. The chanson inspired Spain's foremost Renaissance composer Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 - 1611) to write his extravagant nine-part Missa pro Victoria - said to have been a favourite of the Spanish King Philip III, so our concert comes with royal recommendation. The programme also includes choral works by Juan Cererols and organ works by Antonio de Cabezón (1510 - 1566) and Sebastian Aguilera de Heredia (1565 - 1627).

The Redbridge-based Meljon Singers, one of London's most original and accomplished chamber choirs, present a rich selection of music by British composers inspired by the landscape, literature and folk culture of the British Isles.

In a programme with something to enchant everyone, from songs of the sea to bitter-sweet madrigals, the programme explores courtship and countryside, peasants and princesses, and includes music by Tippett, Britten, Vaughan Williams and the ever-popular John Rutter.
