London Mozart Players - Mozart 'Posthorn' Serenade - The Anvil, Basingstoke

London Mozart Players Wed 6 Oct, 7.45pm

Tickets: £17, £24, £31, £34; under 16s and full time students half price

Ravel: Le Tombeau de Couperin
Schumann: Cello Concerto
Mozart: Serenade K 320 (Posthorn)

Maximilian Hornung cello
Gérard Korsten conductor

Ravel's evocation of the baroque glories of French history was a reaction to the destruction he saw in the First World War, and each of the six movements is dedicated to a victim of the war. Schumann's beautiful and underrated Cello Concerto disregards the notion of an heroic soloist pitted against the forces of the orchestra in favour of something much more collaborative and intimate. The Posthorn Serenade was written in 1779, perhaps for the end of the year ceremony of Salzburg University. The seven movements are contrasted in tempo and orchestration, ending with a presto finale which includes celebrtory flourishes from the posthorn.

The London Mozart Players are Anvil Arts' Orchestra in Association.

His Concertino No. 2 is one of the works performed at this concert, which is conducted by Gérard Korsten, the LMP’s new Music Director.

The recording for Analekta of Mathieu’s piece and Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1, also on tonight’s programme, recently won the prestigious Canadian Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year.

Grace Williams' Trumpet Concerto - Aberystwyth Sinfonia - Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Wales

Grace Williams' Trumpet Concerto is one of the great concertos of the repertoire. This wonderful Welsh composer was particularly fond of the instrument. Here is an extract from an interview she gave with Heyward Rees just before her death in 1977:

Heyward Rees: Then there’s your well-known fondness for the trumpet. What does that stem from?

Grace Williams: I don’t quite know. Possibly from World War I when I was a child, and Barry was full of training camps and battalions marching through the streets with bands playing. If I remember rightly there was a fine regimental band which gave concerts in the park round the corner. When I grew older – and wiser I became a pacifist; but the lure of cornets and bugles persisted, and perhaps paved the way for my entanglements with the orchestral trumpet. I think some Welsh wags may well have dubbed me "Grace Williams the Trumpet". Eventually I wrote a Trumpet Concerto. I have a soft spot for that work, as indeed I do for the work I’ve written for my favourite woodwind instrument: Carillons for Oboe and Orchestra.
