A TRIP TO ITALY WITH THE MPO AT DEWAN
FILHARMONIK PETRONAS!
With
a thematic programme of Italian fare with a flair, the MPO will present music
that brings to mind festivities, dances and the spirit of Italy such as
Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.4 in A major,
nicknamed ‘Italian Symphony’.
The
latter reflects Italy’s sunny vitality and the composer’s enthusiasm for the
land. The work also highlights an exuberant theme in the violins, an evocation
of a gentle sylvan through the horns, and a fiery finale with whirling dance
movements uniting two Italian dances, the ‘saltarello’ and the ‘tarantella’.
You
can also expect the performance by MPO of Violin
Concerto No.5 in A minor composed by Pagannini, a virtuoso who is an
integral part of the rich tradition of Italian string playing and has exerted
an absolutely magical, mesmerizing effect on all who heard him. In his day, he
surpassed every other violinist in the history of music by light years in his
technical wizardry and velocity.
Four
Original Versions of ‘Ritirata notturna di Madrid’ composed by Boccherini/Berio
is also included in the repertoire list.
The
concerts will feature Sergej Krylov,
one of the most talented violinists of his generation. He has been regularly
invited to perform with prominent orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, Budapest Festival, Royal Scottish and
Staatskapelle Dresden. Luminaries that he has collaborated with includes
Fabio Luisi, Yuri Temirkanov, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Valery Gergiev and Yuri
Bashmet. A Music Director with the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, Krylov has
released a recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons last year.
