Programa Sonata No. 2 en Re mayor; Op. 58 FELlX MENDELSSOHN Allegro assai vivace ( 1809-1849) Allegretto scherzando Adagio Finale Sonata en la menor; D. 821 , FRANZ SCHUBERT para arpeggione ( 1797-1828) Allegro moderato Adagio Allegretto 6 INTERMEDIO ;- Sonata No. 2 en Fa mayor; Op. 99 JOHANNES BRAHMS Allegro vivace ( 1833-1897) Adagio affetuoso Allegro apassionato Allegro molto Santafé de Bogotá, 29 de octubre de 1997 CONCIERTO No. 58 Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. N otas al Programa Sonata No. 2, en Re mayor, Op. 58 F. Mendelssohn Según la correspondencia de Medelssohn, la Sonata en re mayor fue comenzada en noviembre de 1842 y terminada en el verano de 1843. Dedicada al Conde Mathieu Wilhorski, mecenas ruso y violonchelista aficionado, fue publicada por Kistner en Leipzig en septiembre de 1843. La tocó en Berlín, el 29 de octubre, Fanny Hensel, hermana del compositor, y él mismo hizo el estreno público en la Gewandhaus de Leipzig, el 18 de noviembre de 184 3 (con el chelista Karl Wittmann), en un importante concierto en el curso del cual tocó también el Trío en re mayor; op.70 N° I de Beethoven, e intervino como violista en su Octeto op.2o. Es la única sonata de I'1éndelssohn en cuatro movimientos. El Allegro assai vivace pleno de exuberante alegría se abre, como la Sinfonía Italiano, con vivacidad, en un ritmo arreba- 7 tado y en el compás de 6/8 que es excepción para un primer movimiento. El segundo tema, en La mayor, es muy lírico; el piano contrapone sus brillantes arpegios en toque ligeros, a la escritura muy virtuosística del violonchelo. Los dos movimientos centrales son de gran originalidad: un Allegretto scberzando hace las veces de scherzo. Es un pequeño y travieso impromptu cuyo ingenioso tema, adornado con apoyaturas, es presentado en canon; se completa con un trío en la tonalidad relativa mayor, con un tema elegante, muy cantado. En el Adagio en Sol mayor, noble meditación religiosa, volvemos a encontrar al maes- tro de Paulus y de Elías: un coral (sempre arpeggiando col peda/e) , noblemente desplegado sobre la extensión del teclado, alterna con un recitativo (appassionato ed animato) en el que el chelo toma la palabra con una elocuencia evangélica. Los dos elementos terminan por fundirse; el piano asume el recitativo y el violonchelo termina con un curioso Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. efecto en dobles cuerdas; la misma nota, un sol grave tenido con el arco, hace sonar a la vez, en pizzicato, las doce campanadas de medianoche. Esta página, llena de fervor religioso, ha abierto la vía a otras'''meditaciones'' instrumentales en las que coral y recitativo se juntan como en la Sonata poro violín y piano o en el Preludio, Corol y Fugo de César Franck. El ftnale es un rondó alegre (Molto allegro e vivace) lleno de impulso y de gran vi rtuosismo. N OTA TOMADA DEL A RCHIVO DE LA SECCIÓN DE M ÚSICA Sonata en la menor, D. 821, para Arpeggione F. Schubert La Sonata en lo menor, D. 82 I conocida con el nombre de Arpeggione, de Franz Schubert, fue compuesta para un 8 instrumento denominado así, que era una mezcla de violonchelo y guitarra, inventado por el luthier Stauffer de Viena y estrenado por el divulgador del instrumento Vincenz Schuster, y el compositor al piano, en 1824. Al desaparecer el arpe{gione, la obra se incorporó al reperto­ rio de los violonchelistas, y es, indudablemente, una de las obras más hermosas y populares para esta combinación instrumental. El primer movimiento, Allegro moderoto, presenta un tema cantable, primero en el piano y luego en el violonchelo; el segundo elemento, más vivo, forma contraste con el anterior y da pie para un moroso desarrollo típicamente schubertiano.

  • Nadège Rochat, Cellist – Biography an Exciting New Energy on the Music Scene, Rochat Involves Herself in Projects That Have
    Nadège Rochat, Cellist – Biography An exciting new energy on the music scene, Rochat involves herself in projects that have brought her to various stages worldwide including the Tonhalle Zurich, Vienna’s Musikverein, the Carnegie Hall in New York, and the Mariinsky Theater II St. Petersburg. She has featured in recital or as soloist, performing not only great pieces of the standard cello repertoire but also pieces that are the fruit of her research on forgotten composers and music from around the world. Nadège won several first prizes in competitions and released two very different CDs, one with French music for cello and orchestra and the other one about her project “La Vida Breve” (“the short life”) with the Guitarist Rafael Aguirre, which targets Spanish and South American classical music. Nadège Rochat, Franco-Swiss cellist born in Geneva in 1991, began learning cello at the age of 4 with her aunt Fabienne Diambrini. Later, she joined the Conservatoire of Geneva, where she was taught by Daniel Haefliger. At the age of 15, she moved to Cologne where she studied Bachelor at the HfMT with Prof. Maria Kliegel. In 2015, she graduated in the Masters programme of the Royal Academy of Music in London where she studied with Robert Cohen. Always in search of a wider knowledge of her instrument and music in general, she participated in numerous masterclasses by musical personalities such as Anner Bijlsma, Christoph Richter, Heinrich Schiff, Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt, Itamar Golan and Colin Carr. Nadège performed as soloist with orchestras in venues such as the Tonhalle Zurich, Vienna’s Musikverein, the Konzerthaus Dortmund and the Victoria Hall Geneva.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>4 GREAT BRITAIN: digital, 1979-2008 In the early 1970s the advent of Anthony Rooley, the Consort of Musicke, Emma Kirkby, Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music brought a fresh look at repertoire from Dowland to Purcell, Handel, Mozart and eventually Beethoven. Solti recorded with the LPO from 1972 and the National Philharmonic was booked regularly from 1974-84. Also during the 1970s the London Sinfonietta’s surveys of Schönberg and Janá ček were recorded. Ashkenazy’s second career as a conductor centred initially on London, with the Philharmonia from 1977 and the RPO from 1987. Philip Pickett’s New London Consort joined the Florilegium roster in 1985 and Argo’s new look brought in a variety of ensembles in the 1990s. But after an LPO Vaughan Williams cycle was aborted in 1997, Decca’s own UK recordings comprised little more than piano music and recital discs. Outside London, Argo recorded regularly in Cambridge and Oxford. Decca engaged the Welsh National Opera from 1980-96 and the Bournemouth Symphony from 1990-96, but otherwise made little use of regional British orchestras. By the time they raised their performing standards to an acceptable level, Chandos, Hyperion and Naxos had largely replaced the old majors in the market for orchestral sessions. >RV0 VENUES One hundred and seventy different venues were used, eighty-eight in the London area and eighty-two elsewhere in Britain, but only one in ten (those in bold ) hosted thirty or more entries, whilst seventy were only visited once. LONDON AREA ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS , St.John’s Wood, London NW8 (1931), initially restricted to EMI labels, were opened to all from 1968.
