Sinfónico 11: 2 Elegiac Melodies, Op.34 (+2 More)

Public

2 Elegiac Melodies, Op.34

Clarinet Concerto D'Om le Vrai Sens

Symphony No. 1 in A flat Major, op. 55

Approved

The works by Grieg and Saariaho that open this program both come from vocal music. The Norwegian Melodies come from two songs taken from his op.32. For its part, the concertante piece by the Finnish woman arose during the composition of her second opera – Adriana Mater , from 2006 –, from a fragment whose clarinet part grew in virtuosity to the point of advising its split as a totally independent work, but which it retains – in its plasticity and movement – ​​the indelible mark of the scenic universe. Hubert Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford were considered the most important British symphonists of the 19th century until, on the verge of making the leap to the 20th, an unknown composer –mature and self-taught, to be more specific– premiered his Enigma Variations, a score by a teacher and audacity only comparable to those that Richard Strauss had shown shortly before with his Don Quixote. Elgar took nine more years to produce his first symphony, a colossal success depreciated years later with the collapse of Romanticism that occurred after the Great War, but with plenty of substance to demand a position in international concert halls similar to the one he has always held in the British islands.
