Budapest Festival Orchestra Monteverdi, Bartók, Schubert

  • 12 November 2022, Saturday
  • 3:30 pm — 6 pm
  • Béla Bartók National Concert Hall
Béla Bartók National Concert Hall

Conductor:

Iván Fischer

Featuring:

violin
Vilde Frang
  • Monteverdi: Scherzi musicali - selection
  • Bartók: Violin Concerto, Sz. 112, BB 117
  • Schubert: Symphony No. 9 in C major ("The Great”), D. 944

"Frang has the knack of breathing life into every note” - is how the critic from BBC Music Magazine described the Norwegian violinist's musicianship. The work she is breathing life into this time is one of the most demanding concertos in music history, Bartók's Violin Concerto. To begin the colourful programme, however, we'll hear a few vocal works accompanied by instrumental ensemble written by Monteverdi, who rethought the relationship between music and text in a revolutionary way. The second part of the concert features one of Schubert's most significant orchestral works, a milestone of Romanticism and the last symphony he ever finished.

1607 was a significant turning point in Monteverdi's life, and therefore in the entire history of music as well. This was the year when his groundbreaking opera L'Orfeo was premièred and the first volume of Scherzi musicali was published. Written for three voices and instrumental continuo, the characteristic rhythms and atmosphere of the eighteen short pieces evoke the pastoral surroundings of the Fifth Book of Madrigals, published two years earlier. Bartók never made his early works public; sti...ll, his Violin Concerto, which he considered to be the only such work he wrote in his career, three decades after his early concerto, is now commonly called the "Violin Concerto No. 2”. It was a classical violin concerto that the violinist Zoltán Székely commissioned him to write in 1936. What Bartók initially intended was a one-movement set of variations. However, eventually bowing to Székely's request, he ended up writing a traditional three-movement (fast-slow-fast) piece, whose slow movement became the series of variations. The numbering for Schubert's "Great” Symphony in C major is somewhat unclear. After completing his first six symphonies, the composer started working on several others, but finished only one of them - the work we know today as his Ninth Symphony. It lasts a full hour, or as Schumann put it, for a "heavenly length”, bursting the limits set by classical standards; it took both musicians and the public a long time to get to grips with this grandiose work of art.
