The Rite of Spring
This concert promises a programme that is not in the least bit conventional as the German violinist Christian Tetzlaff returns to András Keller’s ensemble to once again astonish everyone with his playing. This time, they will collaborate on Beethoven's Violin Concerto, one of the most revered pieces in the genre for any instrument, which will be bookended by two modern orchestral transcriptions of pieces by Bach. Contrapunctus XIX, from The Art of Fugue, was given a new form at the turn of the millennium by the boldly experimental Luciano Berio. By then in his twilight years, Igor Stravinsky took on arranging the preludes and fugues from Das Wohltemperierte Klavier for orchestra in 1969. We will then hear the Russian composer’s masterpiece The Rite of Spring. Representing the earlier part of his career, it poses an imposing test of the abilities of both the conductor and the orchestra.
