Programme Note
A radiant pairing of two of music’s most dazzling, eloquent composers, Mozart and Stravinsky.
Award-winning Lithuanian pianist Milda Daunoraite is the sparkling soloist in Stravinsky’s piano concerto for wind, brass, double basses and timpani, a neo-Baroque work of intricate dance steps, hair-raising rhythms and humour. It’s preceded by Stravinsky’s brief, potent Symphonies of Wind Instruments; Russian Orthodox brass chorales and chanting winds sublimate into a serene unfolding of litanies, as Stravinsky bids farewell to his former life in Russia.
Mozart’s Gran Partita – arguably his most innovative instrumental music and inspired by virtuoso wind players he heard in Vienna – fills the second half. There’s no doubt the twenty-six-year-old Mozart threw down the gauntlet in this symphonic-scale work.
