Orchestral Treasures
from the Brandenburg's secret collection |
 |
Guest soloist, period bassoon
Jane Gower (Australia)
"[The Brandenburg delivered] an exhilarating,
perceptive and thoroughly compelling performance"
The Australian
Hear the Brandenburg at its finest as this extraordinary Orchestra takes
centre stage and reveals a program of its favourite baroque treasures.
Like entering a bazaar teeming with exotic jewels of unrivalled brilliance,
this concert will be a feast for the senses, offering a menu of amazing works,
including three enthralling premieres by Mondonville, Schieferdecker and Corbett,
never before heard on an Australian stage.
On the trail of the more elusive baroque gems, Paul Dyer and the Orchestra
take great delight in polishing up some of Vivaldi’s lesser-known works,
including a remarkable bassoon concerto contrasting lyrical passages with
virtuosic leaps and runs. It is the perfect piece for the world’s leading period
bassoonist and former Brandenburg musician, Jane Gower, to highlight the
velvety and alluring sound of this incredible instrument. BBC Magazine said
of Jane, "Gower is a star in her own right."
Not to be outdone, the strings will absolutely shine in the magnificent
Concerto grosso by Locatelli – a virtuoso violinist whose compositions
expanded the boundaries of violin technique.
This concert, full of the secret favourites of the Brandenburg musicians,
will fill you with such joy, you won’t want the night to end!
