What:
Beethoven – Leonore Overture No. 3
Schumann – Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54
Brahms – Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68
It took Brahms 21 years to write his first symphony. Aware of the grandiosity of Beethoven it must have been difficult to make the first step. Brahms’ first symphony speaks of struggle and triumph, containing some of the most emblematic Brahmsian themes. Wellington lecturer and concert pianist Jian Liu joins us to perform Schumann’s exciting Piano Concerto in A minor, a colourful and passionate piece sure to delight any concertgoer.
Conductor Jose Aparicio. Napier Civic Choir and Hawke’s Bay Orchestra.
Soloists – Lisa Harper-Brown – soprano; Carleen Ebbs – soprano; Declan Cudd – tenor
Schubert’s Stabat Mater in G minor, D 175; Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder; Mozart’s ‘Great’ Mass in C minor, K 427.
Lisa Harper-Brown performs one of Wagner’s two non-operatic works, expressing wistfulness, pathos and intensity in the romantic style. Mozart’s ‘Great’ Mass, written for his wife, was a very intimate and personal work by this genius of Salzburg. Unfinished like his requiem, it possesses some of his most beautiful church music.
