Klassische Philharmonie Bonn present: Handel, Mozart, Ravel and Dvorák.
Georg Friedrich Handel
Concerto grosso in G major op. 6 No. 1
Handel's concerti grossi are a colorful bouquet of musicianly ideas, so no problem picking.
He learned to record melodies during the years he spent in Italy, while in Germany the Baroque masters were still working themes polyphonically with great skill.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Piano Concerto no. 17 in G major, K. 453
Piano: Julia Kociuban (prizewinner of the International Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University, Salzburg)
The immortal piano concertos are among the most beautiful Mozart gave. He wrote most of them for his own use at his "academies."
His greatest achievement in the development of the piano concerto genre. It is a clear emphasis on the virtuoso piano part alongside a participation of the orchestra that is not merely serviceable. The Concerto in G major has a special place because of its overflowing richness of melody.
Maurice Ravel
From the Valses nobles et sentimentales
A new color to music is brought by works such as the "Valses nobles et sentimentales" with their sonic stimuli and fragile chordal writing. Floating rhythmic progressions of the selected pieces enchant.
Antonín Dvorák
Bohemian Suite op. 39
Only a musician like Dvorák could write this work. In the 4 short movements he bridges the gap from artistic ambition to expressive depth, tonal bliss and melancholy to hearty folklore.
