Guest director and soloist, baroque violin Hiro Kurosaki (Austria)
Jealousy, passion, fury, frantic, imaginative and inventive
"Kurosaki's violin seems to take on a life of its own, giving the music plenty of breadth and emotional variety."
Early Music America
Great concertos of the baroque. A rare opportunity to hear the great concertos for violin and rare
combinations of instruments by baroque masters in the one concert, delivered with all the excitement
and immediacy of the baroque violin. Introducing composers new to the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra - Zavateri and Pisendel
Featuring two concertos by Vivaldi with several instruments sharing solo billing.
Concerto in F features violin, hunting horns, oboes, bassoon and solo cello - truly evocative.
Amazingly, the opening of the first movement for Concerto in D sounds remarkably modern.
Typical Vivaldi - with a rhythmic drive and energy with jazz-like syncopations.
Handel's great Concerto grosso Op 6 No 10 is operatic, with a dramatic opening movement in the French style.
Elegant, restrained second and fifth movements contrast the intellectual rigour of the third and the wild energy of the fourth.
Zavateri's Tempesta di mare (storm at sea) depicts no less than two storms, with a beautiful
calm in between. Featuring virtuosic writing for solo violin that is highly imaginative and inventive.
Heinichen mixed idioms of German, French and Italian music but followed Vivaldi's
Italian concerto model which can be heard in Concerto for Oboe. Evocative pizzicato accompaniment to sinuos oboe in slow movement. If you loved the Albinoni and Marcello concertos, you will love this.
Pisendel was one of the most famous violinists of his time - Telemann, Albinoni and
Vivaldi all dedicated works to him. He was a student of Heinichen and a friend of
Vivaldi, but his own style is highly original - edgy and spectacular with breathtaking
writing for virtuoso violin.
