Distinguished composer Matthias Pintscher is the BBC SSO’s new Artist-in-Association. He is also a fine conductor, and for this programme he has chosen an intriguing selection of pieces, all of which have connections with the 18th century.
Composed to celebrate Mozart’s bicentenary, Messiaen’s short piece A Smile is a little tribute to Mozart’s sense of humour and his love of musical jokes. It makes a perfect companion for Mozart’s masterly ‘Prague’ Symphony. The concert ends with the riotous ballet-with-singers Pulcinella, based on an 18th century play, with music once attributed to Pergolesi given a scintillating makeover by Stravinsky.
Ingila Bohlin who was due to sing this performance is unwell. We are delighted that Karen Cargill is able to take her place at short notice.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Matthias Pintscher gives an introduction to tonight’s programme.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the end of the main concert): Andrew Foster-Williams gives a short vocal recital.
