Once again, the Classical Summer Concerts are delighted to present a range of world-class musicians, performing amongst the Roman gods and heroes in the Glyptotek’s atmospheric Central Hall.
What do you do if you play an instrument that does not have the same extensive solo repertoire as, for example, the piano or the violin? You borrow suitable music originally written for other instruments. The Italian-born violist Ettore Causa is an internationally sought-after soloist and chamber musician, and here he performs alongside the Russian-American pianist Boris Berman, who is especially known for his critically acclaimed recordings. Both musicians also teach at the prestigious Yale School of Music in the United States.
In 1824, Schubert wrote a sonata for a brand-new invention, a six-stringed bowed instrument that is hardly played today. It would be a shame if one of Schubert’s most beautiful sonatas were never performed, so fortunately his Sonata for Arpeggione has become a standard work for cellists, flautists—and violists alike. Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata, on the other hand, is an original work written for viola and piano—his very last composition, completed just weeks before his death in 1975.
Robert Schumann (1810–1856): Three Romances, Op. 94 (1849) Nicht schnell Einfach, innig Nicht schnell
Franz Schubert (1797–1828): Sonata in A minor, D 821 (1824) Allegro moderato Adagio Allegretto
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975): Sonata for viola and piano, Op. 147 (1975) Moderato Allegretto Adagio
The Classical Summer Concerts take place every Sunday in August and September from 12.00 to 1.00 pm.
The star-studded programme is organised by Julie Eskær, 1st. concertmaster in the Danish Chamber Orchestra and chamber musician, and Ingemar Brantelid, chamber musician and former solo cellist in the Royal Danish Orchestra. This will be the 47th series.
