NOSPR / Vermeulen / „Too many notes!” / Mozart’s arias and symphonies gala
Open sales on September 2.
Although Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart would compose music in virtually all the genres popular in his lifetime, it was opera that he was most enthusiastic about. The concert will begin with Chaconne and Pas seul – ballet fragments from the opera seria (i.e. a serious one) Idomeneus, King of Crete, emanating pomp and circumstance, commissioned by the Munich opera theatre. Then, Ilse Eerens will perform three fragments from another one of Mozart’s works for theatre. The recitative Crudele! and the subsequent dramatic-lyrical aria Non mi dir belong to Donna Anna’s part in Don Giovanni, a work its composer curiously dubbed „a joyous drama”. Further, we are going to hear the good-humoured recitative Giuns’alfin il momento and the lyrical aria Deh vieni non tardar, which maintains its mood. Both come from the fourth act of the opera buffa The Marriage of Figaro, in which they are sung by Susanna during the night-time garden scene. The final link in Eerens’ performance will be the aria Fra l’oscure ombre funeste, from the Old Testament-inspired cantata Davide penitente – solemn in its mood, to the extent of seeming ceremonious. The concert will be crowned with a performance of a work that constitutes the embodiment of the classical style, namely the Symphony in D major, also known as the Haffner Symphony. The symphony’s subtitle is the surname of a Salzburg family the composer was friends with, the occasion for its commission being the ennoblement of Sigmund Haffner. In his letters, Mozart emphasised that the first movement is fiery, while the finale ought to be played “as fast as possible!”
