The Great composers are like brands and those we haven’t heard of, well, they’re probably not worth it, right?
[…] already bought into the brands. In the same way that I ‘heard’ greatness in Bach, I ‘heard’ mediocrity in Pachelbel. However, like my attitude to clothing, my outlook on the musical canon has become less naïve and more open-minded and I now pride myself on exploring everything on offer: by the way this doesn’t mean I’ll be rolling-up my jeans. These thoughts occurred to me whilst I was listening to concertos by Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer (1692-1766) and Jean-Marie Leclair (1697-1764) at the Wigmore Hall last night. It was a concert given by the London Handel Orchestra directed by Adrian Butterfield, who had devised a programme of ‘Handel and his European Connections’, which brought context to his music, which fittingly, concluded the concert. However even as I listened to Wassenaer and Leclair with a consciously open mind, I found that I ‘heard’ the music in a different way. I found […]

Last night the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, presented Stravinsky’s Pulcinella and Haydn’s Mass in a Time of War. This disjointed program offered two wonderful works, perhaps pairing them for the first time. From neoclassical to classical, the concert was a study in musical innovations. The evening began with reduced orchestral forces and three singers on stage, presenting Igor Stravinsky’s 1949 revision to the complete, one-act ballet Pulcinella. In eighteen sections, this composition originally accompanied a 1920 Ballets Russes production (choreography by Massine, décor and costumes by Picasso). The narrative is drawn from Neapolitan commedia dell’arte, specifically the manuscript Quatre Polichinelles semblables from c. 1700; the music took as its jumping off point works then attributed to Giambattista Pergolesi (although many are now identified as works of other eighteenth-century composers, including Domenico Gallo, Count van Wassenaer, and Carlo Ignazio Monza). These bass lines and melodies […]
