Rossini <\/strong>\u2013 Overture to William Tell On a freezing night in Glasgow, this live performance programme was eminently appropriate in \u2018warming\u2019 up the viewers with the brilliantly thrilling drama of Rossini\u2019s vibrant overture to his not often carried out opera,\u00a0William Tell<\/em>. Making her debut right here in Scotland, the South Korean Han-Na Chang was an internationally famend cellist earlier than she took up the baton. Significantly, she studied philosophy at Harvard along with her research on the Juilliard School.<\/p>\n The opening of Rossini\u2019s overture was eloquently launched by the cello of Betsy Taylor earlier than the concept was picked up by the opposite cellos and double basses. Menacing strokes on the timpani interjected and heralded the thundery musical pages of \u2018Storm\u2019, these have been joined by the strings and woodwind and the dynamic passage on the brass previous to the calming solo flute of Kathryn Bryan. The Ranz des vaches <\/em>sequence allowed a peaceable interlude finely performed on the cor anglais and a lovely duet between the flute and the triangle. In the \u2018March of the Swiss Soldiers\u2019, the Korean conductor was extra energetic as we heard the vividly brilliant trumpets within the wildly dynamic galop, as the entire orchestra introduced this vibrant piece to a brilliantly effervescent climax.<\/p>\n The Berlin Philharmonic principal cellist Bruno Delepelaire joined the orchestra within the Elgar Cello Concerto, a bit which at all times stirs particularly poignant feelings. Just final week, the French-born cellist performed \u00c9douard Lalo\u2019s Cello Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and this was his second look after his debut with the orchestra final season.<\/p>\n Following the brightly colored effervescence of the Rossini overture, the opening of the Elgar concerto appeared reasonably low-spirited with the recitative on the cello within the\u00a0Adagio<\/em>. The temper when the woodwind entered continued to be restrained, but there was some marvellous virtuosity by the soloist, ably supported by his conductor. The\u00a0Lento<\/em>\u00a0was fantastically carried out with a sequence of\u00a0pizzicato<\/em>\u00a0from Delepelaire and pleasant backing from the orchestra. The\u00a0Adagio\u00a0<\/em>was fantastically performed \u2013 notably the succinct, but soulful theme \u2013 earlier than the Finale:\u00a0Allegro moderato<\/em>, which was distinguished by a notable cadenza from Delepelaire bringing this widespread concerto to a satisfying climax.<\/p>\n Child prodigy cellist Han-Na Chang determined to take up the baton at 24, and has developed a busy profession and is at the moment chief conductor of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra in Norway, and from the beginning of this season, she has been the principal visitor conductor of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra. A former pupil on the Juilliard School and a pupil of Mischa Maisky, she says that amongst her inspirations are Rostropovich and Giuseppe Sinopoli.<\/p>\n In her efficiency of Beethoven\u2019s \u2018Eroica\u2019 Symphony, Chang used a restricted strings group, and made some concessions to interval efficiency with smaller timpani. In the opening\u00a0Allegro con brio<\/em>, the cellos have been splendid in proclaiming the primary theme, heralding the wonderful entry on the horns earlier than the entire orchestra picked it up. Chang was terrific in bringing out the heroic splendour by continuously driving the musicians via each her physique and gyrating arms: she jogs my memory of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra\u2019s principal visitor conductor Elim Chan together with her forceful persona on the rostrum. Her dealing with of the good opening motion was dynamic and momentous by evincing the very best stage of efficiency from the musicians. Chang\u2019s interpretation made this an intensely pushed and vitally energetic efficiency. That she senses the \u2018big picture\u2019 of Beethoven\u2019s symphonic construction was evident by her interpretation of the\u00a0Marcia funebre: Adagio assai<\/em>, and the funeral march \u2013 reasonably than a mournful threnody \u2013 had an impressive grandeur not at all times evident. The violins led by Maya Iwabuchi have been magnificent of their opulently dynamic enjoying.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Scherzo: Allegro vivace<\/em>\u00a0was terrific with all its thriller and sensible colors demonstrated manifestly via Chang\u2019s course. The Trio was particularly effectively executed by the three golden-hued horns, earlier than the fruits of the transformation from\u00a0pianissimo<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0fortissimo<\/em>\u00a0in an excitingly pushed passage. Chang introduced out all of the bravura and fervour within the\u00a0Finale:<\/em>\u00a0Allegro moderato,<\/em>\u00a0tearing via the set of variations in a passage of beautiful string enjoying supported by nice brass and woodwind virtuosity and evincing all of the sheer\u00a0joie de vivre<\/em>\u00a0of Beethoven\u2019s masterpiece. It was a terrific debut by this very proficient conductor, and one hopes she will probably be again quickly \u2013 Han-Na Chang is a significant expertise within the conducting world.<\/p>\n Gregor Tassie<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] United Kingdom Beethoven, Elgar, Rossini: Bruno Delepelaire (cello), Royal Scottish National Orchestra \/ Han-Na Chang (conductor).
