Saturday 17 October 2009
7.30 pm
Huddersfield Town Hall
Conductor: Benjamin Ellin
Soloist: Simon Callaghan
| |
Mendelssohn: |
Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage |
| |
Rachmaninov: |
Piano Concerto No 3 |
| |
Brahms: |
Symphony
No 3 |
| |
|
|
Our new
season opens with a concert of three elements almost forming a full
cycle in themselves. We go from the depths of the ocean and man’s
relationship with the sea in Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous
Voyage to the deeply personal and incredibly emotional writing of Sergei
Rachmaninoff with his Third Piano Concerto. We end the concert with
philosophy and true greatness in the form of Brahms Third Symphony. At
times simmering with anger and steely determination, it ends as
beautifully as the Mendelssohn begins.
Pre Concert Talk, 6.30pm
All
pre-concert talks will be held in the main concert hall and are free to
all attending the concert.

If last
season’s Carmina Burana gave us a spectacular vision of Man
wrestling with his own passions and desires, then this concert will
offer a vision of the vast and monumental phenomena that are the
Alps. Alpine Symphony is not only a huge work for huge forces but
also a piece with some incredible intimacy and delicacy. Written at
a time of great global change it perhaps asks us to remember a
little humility whilst being in awe of some of the natural world’s
most dramatic statements.

Ellin: |
Harp
Concerto |

Elgar: |
Symphony
No. 1 |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Elgar’s compositional voice
and success were slow and often painful in process. From humble
beginnings he has become a symbol of British music and British
landscape. However, it’s not in the Pomp and Circumstance that we hear
the real Elgar but rather, and in particular, in his First Symphony, A
work full of melody, yearning and triumph, it is a true British
masterpiece.
Pre Concert Talk, 6.30pm
All pre-concert talks will
be held in the main concert hall and are free to all attending the
concert.

force!
