Gay/RSB/Jurowski - Telemann, Boismortier, Ravel, Ibert, and Strauss, 12 October 2023
KonzerthausTelemann: Bourlesque de Quixotte, TWW 55:G10 Boismortier: Don Quichotte chez la duchesse, op.97: ballet music Ravel: Don Quichotte à Dulcinée Ibert: Quatre chansons de Don Quichotte Strauss: Don Quixote, op.35 Paul Gay (bass-baritone)Alejandro Regueira Caumel (viola)Konstanze von Gutzeit (cello)Berlin Radio Symphony OrchestraVladimir Jurowksi (conductor)Images: Robert Niemeyer‘Wie klingt “Don Quijote”?’ was the question posed by (and in) the programme to this splendid tour through musical depictions of Cervantes’s would-be knight-errant. To answer the question, we discovered that Don Quixote sounds in various ways, yet always colourfully and, aptly enough, endearingly too. Vladimir Jurowski’s gift for programming, so strong a feature of his time as Music Director of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, has not deserted him in Berlin. The Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra/Rundfunksinfonieorchester Berlin (RSB) is clearly thriving under his leadership, here in music ranging from Telemann to Ravel. Telemann’s turned twice as a composer to Cervantes’s novel, in 1761 writing […]

The week in classical: La forza del destino; Bayerisches Staatsorchester/ Jurowksi; Chouchane Siranossian – review
Royal Opera House; Barbican; Wigmore Hall, LondonIgnore the fanciful plot and submit to the musical glories of the Royal Opera’s bravura revival of unwieldy Verdi. And to the top of the mountain with Vladimir Jurowski and coMidnight strikes. Your lover enters through a window, ready to carry you off on a horse. Joy. He calls you an angel, reminds you of his Inca blood, and before you know where you are he’s soaring up to a top B flat (he is a tenor). Now – fatal mistake – your lover has killed your father. Disaster. Vengeance, bloodshed. Verdi’s La forza del destino (1862), of which the events described are only the start, is sometimes described as the composer’s most Shakespearean opera in its mix of high and low, brief comedy and tragedy. The comparison is less than helpful. Shakespeare would have filleted some of the more far-fetched plot coincidences, of […]

Barbican Hall, LondonThe 500-year-old orchestra celebrated its rich history with a full-colour performance of Strauss’s Alpine Symphony and the UK premiere of Ukrainian composer Victoria Poleva’s White IntermentThe Bayerisches Staatsorchester (Bavarian State Orchestra) celebrates its half-millennium this year. That’s right: 500 years old – a symphony orchestra dating back to before such things existed, if you accept there being an unbroken line between the musicians at the Munich court in 1523 and the disciplined body of players making the Barbican’s beams ring here in the first of a pair of concerts with their music director Vladimir Jurowski.On the way the orchestra has inspired many composers, not least Wagner, and they nodded to this with their encore, the prelude to Act 3 of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. It had a sense of profundity that was almost devotional – a feeling heightened by the fact that so much of what had gone […]
