It is a chord of mythological materials, with the Andrew Parrott occurs in front of the concert house orchestra. Of Idomeneo, the Cretan king, and his program to Corinth, where Medea ascends in the dragon wagon in front of the Palace of king CREON. The British conductor is fond of, as a former assistant to Michael Tippett’s new music. His inclination for historical performance practice of old music, as he is also a musicologist.
in Order to differentiate between the Overture and ballet music Mozart’s “Idomeneo” in its instrumental garb, he uses trumpets and Timpani in a side square next to the orchestra. The Gestures of the music, its sensual sound effect in the foreground of this performance, not your final touches.
Sensitive strings
the Symphony No. 69 by Joseph Haydn will be Inserted by publisher hand named after an Austrian field Marshal named “Laudon”. The piece is made of analysts of the 20th century. Century as a disappointment seen. Not the Andrew Parrott. What is assessed the verdict as “pretty meaningless”, with him with the sensitive strings of the orchestra, a slow movement in a concentrated movement down to Pianissimo. An image of interiority, to the minuet abuts the Forte-contrast. In Parrotts Interpretation of the characters of the music unfold fine.
With great applause, the audience celebrates in the concert hall, the artist Ruth Rosenfeld for their recitation in the melodrama “Medea”. The music comes from the Bohemian composer Georg Benda, Mozart has estimated. The melodrama was at times as a work of art of the future. It is available lossener type of drama, the spoken word with orchestral music. Get is its moving effect in “Fidelio”, and “Freischütz”. In remembering these days, the melodrama “Sweet sleep” from “Egmont”, as Bruno has unfolded under the Beethoven-conductor Claudio Abbado.
“Medea” is the hateful monologue of a tragic actress, to be content: revenge! Betrayed by Jason, “the beloved traitor”, she kills their children. The music is stormy. Rosenfeld, in Berlin, as the actress stepped forward, works with amplification of your voice. It sounds more in focus. “Listen to me! Hecate!“ A strange request, reports: after a shot, but the perceived theatrics.
