2024 Unsung Concerts

[eschiss1]

Ilya: in re the Kralik work you mentioned awhile back, I feel like I saw a mention of several soon-to-be-released discs of her music recentlyish (to augment the one or two that now exist), which might include such a work. Can't find it now, though. ...

[Alan Howe]

Anyone mentioned tomorrow's Leipzig concert with Reinecke's Hakon Jarl symphony? (Ruth Reinhardt conducting the Gewandhaus.)

Thanks, Eric. I wonder whether this will be broadcast?

[eschiss1]

Will have to try to find out. I may have to check afterwards or, at least, I'm not positive how to check-maybe I need to learn how to check the German radio schedules...

Also, looking at the program of the West Cork Festival. Maybe of most interest here so far is a program with clarinet music (including sonatas) by Charles Stanford, John Ireland and others at Bantry House on 2 July 2024. Will continue to check the rest of the program ...

(Also, I see ewk mentioned the Reinecke performance of tomorrow a year ago in a post in "2023 Unsung concerts"...)

[eschiss1]

Maybe MDR Kultur , though they aren't broadcasting it tomorrow- will see if I can check later days...

Also, Reinecke's 200th is, so to speak, in 10 days from now, and MDR Kultur is broadcasting a more general Reinecke program (possibly talk rather than music) on Saturday - description thereof? (any failure of translation is mine, I should have at least run it through some sort of translator, however rough, first )

Also in a few days is a Wigmore Hall concert of interesting string trio music from Beethoven to Weinberg (not in our orbit) with Dohnanyi and Enescu being two composers who sometimes are (and specifically, the Enescu Aubade - his representative in this concert- is from 1899, the Dohnanyi is his famous, and just a bit "off" , serenade for trio). (The one remaining work on the program, Kodaly's 1905 Intermezzo, I haven't heard at all. Actually, not sure I've heard Weinberg's string trio yet either, but I should go fix that...)  This concert , 17 June 7:30pm local, should be recommendable enough...

and one more thing

October 14 at the Rudolfinum- Dvorak Hall in Prague:

"Smetana, Bedřich (1824-1884)    String Quartet no.1 in E minor "From my life"   
Taneyev, Sergey Ivanovich (1856-1915)    String Quartet no. 2 in C major, Op.5   
Dvořák, Antonín (1841-1904)    String Quintet no. 3 in E flat major, Op.97"

Talich Quartet and Lawrence Dutton, viola (in the Dvořák).

One other thing: Saturday at Wigmore Hall, Paul Wee plays the Alkan solo piano concerto. (I'd still call this unsung, judging at least from the reaction of the audience next to me after Hamelin performed the piano symphony wonderfully in Ithaca awhile back...)

[eschiss1]

From Michigan City Chamber Music Festival, for August 12, Berwald's Duo Concertant in A major for 2 violins is programmed. (Never heard this one, though I see it's on YouTube. Seems to be from around 1816.) The August 16th program contains Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's nonet.

[eschiss1]

Also, several concerts with Pejačević's music in 2024-5. On September 19, her cello sonata is being played in Burg Namedy, Andernach at the Beethovenfest. Her piano quartet in D minor (1908) will be at the Wigmore Hall on October 17.

A concert performance of William Wallace's Grand Legendary Opera Lurline will be given on Friday July 26, at 7PM, at the National Concert Hall, in Dublin.

[Wheesht]

The intriguingly named Robert-Kahn-Trio will be playing a concert in Stralsund, Germany, on 13 September, under the title 'Contemporaries of Caspar David Friedrich': the Clarinet Trio by Louise Farrenc being one of the two works on the programme.

Ah,the painter.  For a moment there,I thought it was that boy who was the early nineteenth-century equivalent of pseudo-Anastasia!  Now,that would have added to the quirkiness.

[eschiss1]

Hrm. Any links attached to those concerts? I'd like to see what the early 2025 concert with some Reger is that's also on that same page Wheesht linked to, even though I'm not likely to be in Germany in January.

[Wheesht]

The Stralsund programme website is sadly lacking in detail but according to the Vogler-Quartett's website it is the string quartet op. 109 by Reger that they will be playing. The same link shows two more works by Reger, on 5 April and on 25 May.

Yay!!

Although this concert is now in the very recent past, I am delighted, indeed excited, to see that the Belgian composer Juliette Folville's Concertstück pour violoncelle et orchestre has been programmed in Saint-Irénée, Canada, and will be again in May 2025 in Italy.
