CBSO Winds plays Mozart

January 26th 2025 at 15:00 – 16:00

Two pearls of beauty for wind ensemble. Anna Clyne was inspired by Emily Dickinson’s enigmatic poetry for Overflow in which the poet flirts with the mighty power of the sea. The wind ‘dectet’ portrays both the seabed, and the playful, sometimes sinister, creatures and forces within. Mozart’s Gran Partita is simply sublime – in the 1984 film Amadeus, Salieri is overcome with wonder on hearing it: “This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing…”

There will be no interval during this concert.

Anna Clyne, Overflow (10mins)

GIEDRĖ ŠLEKYTĖ conducts
ERIN HANNIGAN oboe

HANNAH EISENDLE Heliosis
R. STRAUSS Oboe Concerto
BERLIOZ Symphonie Fantastique

A work of opulent orchestral colors and effects that tells a “fantastic” story, starring Hector Berlioz himself, besotted with a Shakespearian actress. His passion-propelled Symphonie Fantastique follows the love-sick hero’s drug-induced visions to a glittering ball, the march to the scaffold and a demonic Witches’ Sabbath with the Dies irae pounding out a hair-raising theme amid tumult. Giedrė Šlekytė “the embodiment of youthful energy, enthusiasm, and determination“(La scena musicale) makes her DSO premiere leading Strauss’s tuneful Oboe Concerto, with Principal Oboe Erin Hannigan in the spotlight.
