Masterworks III: Autumn Violin The young virtuosos violinist Ilana Setapen returns (Festival Amadeus 2008) triumphantly to our stage to take center stage for one of the most beloved violin concertos in the repertoire the Violin Concerto in E minor by Felix Mendelssohn. This work, arguably Mendelssohn’s most popular orchestral work has been a favorite or musicians and audiences alike since it’s premiere in 1844, three years before the composers’ untimely death at age 38. The work is richly melodic and is placed firmly in Mendelssohn’s mature “Early Romantic” style. It calls upon the soloist to at times shape and color the highly expressive melodic content while at others exploring and engaging in the orchestral fabric with rapid textural arpeggios, musical aspects that will befit Ms. Setapen’s substantial artistry, beautiful tone and expressive panache. The Symphony No. 2 in C Major Op. 61 composed by Robert Schumann in 1845-46 will provide the programmatic balance and bring the listener even deeper into the world of early German Romanticism. The second of the four Schumann symphonies written in the expansive key of C major it is a work that probes the psychological depths of the composer revealing many moods and characters of expression, from solemn inwardness to extroverted nervousness, to deep melancholy and on towards final triumph. It is a work both grounded in the past and highly individual to the great composer himself who composed the work while struggling against depression and poor health. The concert will begin with Alexander’s Glazunov’s “Autumn” from his ballet “The Seasons”. Composed in 1899 in three distinct movements “Autumn” is a celebratory and evocative work illustrating Glazunov’s wonderful orchestral imagination and ability to conjure distinct musical atmospheres.
