CHARITY STATUS - PENDING Issue 11 17thJune 2010 online at www.voiceforarran.com

Magical music in Last Saturday’s concert by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra string section saw Whiting Bay packed with people – and their enthusiasm was well rewarded. Right from the start, a sense of excitement grew as players began to gather in all corners of the hall. At a hidden signal they came up the aisles to meet with their leader, Isabelle van Keulen, under their ring of tall spotlights, and welcoming applause gave way to expectant hush.

The special thing about a chamber orchestra is that is has no conductor. The lead violin acts as director – but every player has to take the responsibility of watching and listening, and the result is an intensely active carefulness that can be miraculous. The opening of the Mozart Serenata Notturna was hushed and perfectly placed, and from that point onward the evening developed into a tremendous richness. Nobody had heard of the Georgian composer, Otar Taktakishvili, but his Concerto for Violin and String Orchestra was enchanting. It began with a tick‐tock rhythm that recurred later in different forms, but in the second movement the solo violin was free to soar into romantic flights of melody. The third introduced the ‘tick‐tock’ again in the delicate form of bows being tapped against instruments, followed by a development that came close to the hauntingly broken‐winged tune of the Shostakovich 8th string quartet. The tender lyricism of this piece and the surge into passion of the whole ensemble at the end left the audience thrilled and amazed.

Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings completed the programme, with an inspiring Russian richness of tone. The well‐known waltz movement was miraculously poised, changing pace and pausing as a dancer does at apex moments of the tune. Isabelle van Kreulen was constantly expressive and dramatic, a leader in every sense of the word though at the same time an essential member of the ensemble. Tumultuous applause was rewarded with a short Finzi piece as an encore.

The Arran Music Society, whose committee members helped organise the SCO concert, runs smaller‐scale recitals and concerts throughout the winter season each year, and many people in Saturday’s audience were familiar with chamber music. Yet there is nothing like a big orchestra. The sheer thrill of being in the presence of so many brilliant musicians, working at such an intensity of concentration, produces a power‐house of excitement that lasts long afterwards. Many thanks to the SCO strings – and please come again next year!
