Portraits - Thomas Allely
A stage for tomorrow’s most exciting musical talents.
See the virtuosic talent within QSO showcased in this program in which several of their musicians step forward as soloists, with Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici at the helm.
John Williams described the tuba as “such an agile instrument – like a huge cornet”. This instrument that rarely steps into the spotlight boasts a warm and rich sound which is the perfect match for Williams’ lush and melodic writing.
Vaňhal’s Double Bassoon Concerto is written in an elegantly Classical Sturm und Drang style, with long melodies that make the most of the reedy bassoon sound. Vaňhal was a contemporary of Haydn and Mozart who was celebrated around the world in his lifetime. Mozart’s Haffner Symphony extends the sophistication in his typically light and mercurial style.
The program is completed with Korngold’s Schauspiel Overture, a wonderfully dramatic piece written when the composer was only fourteen years old.
