We are to be treated to Viktoria Mullova’s exquisite violin playing within the intimacy of the piano trio, where she performs with her husband, cellist Matthew Barley and long-time collaborator, one of New Zealand’s favourite pianists, Stephen De Pledge. Their programme is drawn from the cornerstones of the repertoire - the impassioned masterpiece of Schubert’s Trio in E flat followed in the second half by the heartfelt and sensual sonorities in Ravel’s Trio in A Minor, I am sure this will be an evening to remember. The CMNZ commission of a new work by Salina Fisher ‘Mono no aware’ for cello and piano is generously supported by Prof. Jack C Richards and received its world premiere at the Melbourne Recital Centre ahead of the CMNZ tour.

The conductor and fortepianist Jos van Immerseel has remarked that Beethoven’s music sounds paradoxically less modern on the instruments of our time than it does on those of the early 19th century, and indeed, while our hallowed modern counterparts – the Steinway and Stradivarius – are remarkable for their consistency and stability, they seem to have greater difficulty expressing the undeniable volatility and danger of this music. Nowhere is this truer than in the case of the violin sonata – a genre that Beethoven greatly developed – where the composer reveals himself a master of exploiting both the qualities and the idiosyncrasies of the violin and fortepiano.

  • Historical Performance Practice at the Beginning of the New Millennium
    Historical Performance Practice at the beginning of the new millennium Dorottya Fabian An interest in early music and performing practices of the past has a long history by now. Its characteristics in the nineteenth century have been mapped by several authors, especially in relation to the revival of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, the Cecilian Movement and various musical developments in England. Even more pub- lications are available on its twentieth-century history.1 The initiatives during the early decades (e.g. the organ and recorder movements of the 1920s, the establish- ing of the Schola Cantorum in Basel in 1933) and the contribution of pioneers like Wanda Landowska and Arnold Dolmetsch have been extensively studied togeth- er with lesser-known figures, places and institutions.2 But as is well-known, it was during the second half of the twentieth century that the Early Music or Historically Informed Performance Movement has truly taken off, becoming a major force in the world of classical music. Many books and papers have been dedicated to the history of this development, its various phases, musical characteristics, key figures, aesthetic outlook and philosophical assumptions, and its achievements. There was a burgeon- ing of such literature and heated debates during the 1980s and 1990s followed by more comprehensive and ‘corrective’ analyses published during the early years of the 2000s, most focussing on the second half of the twentieth century.3 Much less has 1 Harry Haskell, The Early Music Revival – A History, London 1988; George B.

    CAMERATA MUSICA CAMBRIDGE ! BLUE HERON Saturday 7 October 2017 CAMERATA MUSICA CAMBRIDGE ! BLUE HERON Directed by Scott Metcalfe Treble Mean Contratenor Bass & tenor Margot Rood Jennifer Ashe Michael Barrett Paul Guttry Teresa Wakim Pamela Della Owen Macintosh David McFerrin Shari Alise Martin Near Mark Sprinkle Steven Hrycelak Wilson Jason McStoots Trinity College Chapel (By kind permission of the Master and Fellows) Saturday 7 October 2017 ! CAMERATA MUSICA CAMBRIDGE A message from the Chairman Camerata Musica Cambridge was founded in 2006 to bring new audiences, especially among the young, to the great riches of classical music. We seek to do this by presenting major works in performances of the very highest quality, and by offering the tickets to our concerts at prices that students can afford. Through the generosity of our sponsors — and, not least, through the generosity of the artists themselves — Camerata Musica has now been fulfilling this mission for over a decade. As we start out on our second decade of concert-giving, the roll of artists who have appeared in the concert series includes many of the most celebrated ensembles and instrumentalists performing today — among them Dame Mitsuko Uchida, Piotr Anderszewski, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Sir András Schiff, Daniil Trifonov, Igor Levit, Kristian Bezuidenhout, Viktoria Mullova, Pinchas Zukerman, the Hagen, Belcea and Artemis Quartets, and many others of equal distinction. !3 For all our concerts, fully half the hall is reserved for students and those under twenty-five, and all these seats — again, thanks to the enlightened support of our sponsors — are made available at generously subsidized prices. None of this would be possible without the support of our magnificent group of Patrons and Benefactors.
