One of Hong Kong’s flagship orchestras, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has achieved significant local and international recognition for its passionate performances and innovative programming which have brought music closer to the community.

Since 1999, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has collaborated with an illustrious array of international musicians and groups, including in recent years Nicolas Altstaedt, Vilde Frang, Ilya Gringolts, Martin Helmchen, James MacMillan, Sergei Nakariakov, Krzysztof Penderecki, JeanGuihen Queyras, Fazıl Say, Mariinsky Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, The Royal Ballet, English National Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. A regular participant at all the major festivals in Hong Kong including the Hong Kong Arts Festival and Le French May, the orchestra also partners regularly with Hong Kong Ballet and Opera Hong Kong in their staged productions.

In 2018, the orchestra organised the 1st Hong Kong International Conducting Competition, which attracted 310 applications from 49 countries/regions.

As an avid believer of keeping music alive and contemporary, Hong Kong Sinfonietta – the Venue Partner of the Hong Kong City Hall since 2009 – performs year-round with over 100 performances a season, presenting not only standard orchestral repertoire but also newly commissioned works, as well as specially-designed concert series for different audiences and age groups, including Good Music for Babies, Good Music for Kids, Know Your Classical Music, Short-cut to Classical Music and HKS McDull Music Project. The orchestra also frequently ventures into crossover initiatives, recently receiving wide acclaim for its groundbreaking concert films Back On Stage and Back On Stage II (Quarantined!) which landed in the cinemas and on other popular platforms. The orchestra also continues to break down barriers between music and audience with free chamber concerts held regularly at Hong Kong City Hall and beyond, recently presenting the Tiny Galaxy Concerts online series featuring performances recorded at unconventional and fascinating locations of Hong Kong.

Launched in 2006, the HKS Artist Associate scheme provides a platform for intensive collaboration with local artists from different arts disciplines to expand the horizon of classical music. The orchestra’s discography includes CDs of works by Chinese composers on HUGO, and three double-CD albums This is Classical Music on DECCA which have been awarded Platinum and Gold Records. In 2018, The Passage Beyond in Concert by Leon Ko, was released on DECCA. On tour, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has been invited to perform in North America in Canada and New York City; in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in South America; in Europe at prestigious festivals in France including Festival International de Piano La Roque d’Anthéron and Festival de Musique Menton, in Germany at Gezeitenkonzerte Ostfriesland, at Beethoven Easter Festival in Poland, in Switzerland at Tonhalle Zürich, Geneva Victoria Hall and Fribourg, at festivals in Italy including the Michelangeli Festival, in Portugal at the Marvão International Music Festival, and in Lithuania; in China at China Shanghai International Arts Festival (Expo 2010), in Beijing at the National Centre for the Performing Arts; in Japan at Tokyo Opera City, La Folle Journée in Tokyo and Niigata, Nagano, Kanazawa and Koriyama; in Korea at the Tongyeong International Music Festival and in Singapore at the Esplanade, and at National Concert Hall Taipei and National Taichung Theater.

Hong Kong Sinfonietta has thrived under the direction of Music Director Yip Wing-sie – one of Asia’s most respected conductors – since 2002.

Starting from May 2020, she takes on the new role of Music Director Emeritus. She and Principal Guest Conductor Christoph Poppen are responsible for the artistic development of the orchestra before the next Music Director is appointed.

Sergei Nakariakov, an Israeli-Russian trumpet player, has established himself as one of the most sought-after trumpet players on the international stage. Gifted with a rare combination of stunning virtuosity, a suave and velvet-toned sound and a deep sensitivity, he was named as “The Paganini of the trumpet” and “Caruso of the trumpet”.

Nakariakov has single-handedly brought the flugelhorn to prominence on the concert platform, and has developed long-standing relationships with many of the world’s leading orchestras, conductors and musicians.

Renowned conductors with whom Nakariakov has worked include Valery Gergiev, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Jaap van Zweden, Neville Marriner, Christoph Eschenbach, Mikhail Pletnev, Vladimir Spivakov, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Kent Nagano, Yuri Bashmet, Saulius Sondeckis, Yuri Temirkanov, Jiří Bělohlávek and Hugh Wolff. For chamber music projects, he regularly collaborates with prominent musicians like Vadim Repin, Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky, Emmanuel Pahud, Julian Rachlin and Dmitry Sitkovetsky. He enjoys a long-lasting musical friendship with pianist Maria Meerovitch and his own sister, Vera Okhotnikova.

Nakariakov’s discography with Teldec Classics International (Warner) has drawn the most enthusiastic public and critical acclaim, and incorporates the most famous original trumpet repertoire as well as numerous arrangements for trumpet and flugelhorn.

Born in Gorky, Nakariakov began to play the piano when he was six years old, but moved on to the trumpet – a change of direction supported by his father, Mikhail Nakariakov, who transcribed many classical concertos for the trumpet and created a unique repertoire for his son. He gave him his technical knowledge and has helped him to further develop his exceptional feeling for music to this day.

Nakariakov plays on instruments by Antoine Courtois, Paris.

Not only does Nakariakov’s repertoire cover the entire range of original literature for the trumpet, it is also continually expanding into broader territories, comprising many fascinating transcriptions and commissions by Peter Ruzicka, Uri Brener, Enjott Schneider and Jörg Widmann, while he continuously searches for new means of musical expression.

節目介紹 一般人可能認為小號是一種軍樂器，用以揭開戰幕、集結軍隊、提醒軍人起床和熄燈 休息。但在星級小號獨奏家納卡里亞科夫的手中，小號（以及柔音小號，flugelhorn） 的用途遠不止於此。在今晚的獨奏會中，他就像一隻音樂變色龍，以小號代替小提 琴、圓號和人聲，雖然雲雀的鳴叫（同樣源自一首歌曲）仍會留給鋼琴去模仿。結束 上半場的是一首專門為小號撰寫，由法國作曲家呂芙（Jeanine Rueff）創作的樂曲。 銅管樂器有一段很長的歷史。約 2,500 年前，就有埃及人使用金屬樂器的記載，而古 羅馬人也使用了多種金屬樂器，因為金工技術的進步，工人可以把金屬製成管形。使 用的金屬包括青銅、銅、銀，甚至黃金，但這個樂器家族卻普遍被稱為銅管樂。當 然，因其聲音的特質，銅管樂很適用狩獵或戰爭等戶外場合。 早期的銅管樂器相當原始，它們並不能吹奏一個完整音階中的所有 12 個音符。這些 「自然」樂器（”natural” instruments ，早期音樂派的古樂團就會以「自然小號」和 「自然圓號」演奏）是由嘴唇的壓力控制音高的。然而，就如弦樂、木管樂器家族和鍵 盤樂器那樣，經過逐步的改良，銅管樂器也有所進化。 19 世紀初，約在 1815 年，為 銅管樂器設計的閥鍵（valve）開始出現。其重要性在於只要按下閥鍵，樂器管子的長 度可以��改變，就能吹出�要的音符。因此，銅管樂器開始可以吹奏音階�的所有 音符，視乎使用三（或四）個閥鍵中哪一個組合。 整體而言，小號是銅管樂家族的首領，也是典禮上必備的樂器。它們也可以奏出較為 沉鬱的樂音，尤其是使用弱音器的時候，聲量就會被壓低和變得朦朧。不同的弱音器 也有不同的效果，有能令聲音變小的，有使其變得刺耳的，又或是產生其他不同的 音色。 除了小號外，今晚我們主要還會聽到柔音小號。它是由號角（bugle，其中一種像小號 的樂器，包括短號 [cornet] ）演變出來的，到了1820年代才出現。第一把柔音小號實 際是一種加了閥鍵的號角，是在1828年於柏林由斯托澤爾（Heinrich Stölzel）售出。 後來在法國，薩克斯（Adolphe Sax ，即是薩克斯管的發明者）製作了薩克斯號 （saxhorns），這就是現代柔音小號的原型。它比號角、短號或小號的聲音都要圓潤飽 滿和低沉，能代替圓號及其他樂器家族中如巴松管或大提琴的位置。若再加上第四個 閥鍵，也可以使柔音小號在低音區多奏出一個四度的音程。

Programme Notes We think of the trumpet as a martial instrument – heralding battles, rallying troops, sounding the reveille alarm-call and last post. But our star soloist Sergei Nakariakov can do more with the trumpet (and the flugelhorn) than all that. In fact, in tonight’s recital, he becomes something of a musical chameleon taking over the music (if not actually the shape) of a violin, French horn and the human voice, although he leaves the birdsong of a lark (also originally from a song) to the piano. Ending the first half is an actual piece composed for the trumpet itself, by French composer Jeanine Rueff.

Brass instruments have a very long history. There is evidence of the Egyptians using metal instruments some 2,500 years ago, and the Romans also used various metal instruments, fashioned by the new skills metal-workers were able to devise to create tubes. The metals used included bronze, copper, silver, even gold – but the family of instruments has become known by the common alloy, brass. Of course, given the nature of the sound, brass instruments were ideal for use outdoors, in hunting or in battle.

The early instruments were primitive in the sense that they could not play all the notes in the octave; these “natural” instruments (period instrument bands play with “natural trumpets” and “natural horns”) were controlled by lip pressure. However, just as the string and woodwind families – and especially keyboard instruments – developed over time, so did brass instruments. In the early 19th century – around 1815 – valves were invented for brass. Their importance was to be able to easily change the length of piping used to produce a note by the simple depression of a valve. The immediate effect was to allow them to play all notes on the scale, depending on which combination of the three (or four) valves they use.

And while trumpets still lead the charge when, en masse, they are de rigueur for ceremonial purposes, they can also become much subtler in their sound, especially when they are played with a mute, which subdues or muffles the sound – though there are various different mutes that have different effects, making it quieter or more rasping and many other shades in between.

In addition to the trumpet, tonight we will mainly hear the flugelhorn. It was developed from the bugle (one of the varieties of trumpet-like instruments, which also include the cornet), and it was not invented until the 1820s. In effect a valved bugle, the first flugelhorn was sold by Heinrich Stölzel in Berlin in 1828, and later – in France – it was taken up by Adolphe Sax (of saxophone fame), who developed “saxhorns”, which are the basis of the modern flugelhorn. With a richer, lower sound than bugles, cornets or trumpets, the flugelhorn can assume the same position of say, the French horn, bassoon or cello in the other instrumental families. An addition of a fourth valve on the flugelhorn can increase the range by adding to a perfect fourth to the lower register.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)

Violin Sonata No 21 in E minor, K304 (Adapted for Flugelhorn) Allegro Tempo di Menuetto

Mozart did use trumpets in some of his later symphonies, piano concertos and operas, but he left no chamber music for it and he could not have composed for the flugelhorn as it was not invented until 30 years after his death. But that is not to say some of his other chamber music cannot be readily adopted for either instrument. Of Mozart’s 26 violin sonatas, we hear one that falls roughly half way in numerical order. They fall unevenly through Mozart’s career. His first 10 violin sonatas were teenage works (K6 & 7 published in Paris in 1764 as Op 1; K8 & 9 published as Op 2, with K26-31 following in 1766 as Op 4). 12 years passed before his next violin sonatas – seven in all, including the one tonight, composed in Mannheim and Paris (K301-306) and published (confusingly as another Op 1) in 1778, and also K296, which joined five more (K376-380) as another Op 2 in 1781. Finally, between 1784 and 1788, Mozart composed his final four (K454, K481, K526 and K547).

Mozart’s E minor Violin Sonata K304, is in just two movements. We know the first movement was composed in Mannheim, as the watermark of the paper he composed it on was bought there. He then moved to Paris with his mother – although she tragically died there on 3 July 1778, and he made the decision to go back to Salzburg.

Without a slow movement, this Sonata – rather strident and noble – is eminently playable on the flugelhorn. Regarded as the “gem of this set” – in Sir Nicholas Kenyon’s words (The Faber Pocket Guide to Mozart, 2005, p241) – he goes on to explain why: “[It is]… serious, suppressed, intense… The great moment in the first movement is the recapitulation, where the [soloist] sings the

theme unaccompanied but the piano comes crashing in with a totally unexpected chord. The spirit of the concluding E minor minuet is almost Baroque, but with a healing trio in E major, sounding like Schubert in its contrast of minor and major melodies.” Perhaps it is that hint of romanticism in the likeness to Schubert that makes it so appropriate to be played by the flugelhorn.

Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka (1804–1857) Arranged by Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev (1837–1910)

The Lark We stay with transcriptions as we move to a piano interlude, but a connection to Sergei Nakariakov remains in the Russian nationality of both composers connected with The Lark. Mily Balakirev, the arranger, is perhaps less known for his own music, than being a motive force in a swathe of 19th-century Russian music composed by others, mainly those he corralled into a group known as “the Mighty Handful” – Alexander Borodin, Cesar Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Balakirev himself. Even two composers not included in the group – Glinka and Tchaikovsky – were associated with Balakirev. Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture was not only suggested by Balakirev, but was revised following Balakirev’s numerous comments.

A generation older than Balakirev, Glinka – known as “the father of Russian music” – was the one to encourage the young Mily, newly arrived in St Petersburg at just 18, to pursue music. Glinka himself had earlier headed west to Milan – meeting Bellini and Donizetti – then Vienna and finally Berlin, studying for six months with Siegfried Dehn, before returning to Russia and composing the first 15

Russian Opera, A Life for the Tsar in St Petersburg in 1836, following it up with his more famous Russlan and Ludmilla in 1842. When he died Balakirev was just 20, but Balakirev was the man to take up Glinka’s mantle of forging a Russian musical style.

Glinka collated his song cycle to poetry by his friend Nestor Kukolnik in 1840 and the overall title reflects the composer’s plan at the time to leave St Petersburg, in the wake of matrimonial difficulties. By far the most popular of the songs was the tenth, The Lark, and it is no surprise that it achieved a stand-alone existence in a piano solo.

Balakirev did the honours in 1862, some five years after its original composer’s death, clothing the original song with exquisite embellishment.

The original song is a slow, lyrical paean to the unseen lark high above the meadow, the singer musing that somewhere will be the listener for whom the lark’s song is meant. Balakirev, transposing the original’s E minor to B-flat minor, makes the lark’s song more overt. He extends Glinka’s original running time by some two minutes by thrice rising high in melismatic swathes of demisemiquavers that seem to suspend time; the lark’s song suspended in mid air.

16

Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) Arranged by Mischa Elman (1891–1967)

From Trois Mélodies Op 7: No 1 Après un Rêve (Adapted for Flugelhorn)

Sergei returns, flugelhorn in hand for a transcription of one of Fauré’s Mélodies, one of his most popular pieces. He composed more than 100 songs over an astonishing 50-year period, but Après un Rêve (After a Dream) is one of his earliest, from the 1870s, and published with two others in 1878 (20 years later, they were collectively given the opus number, Op 7, though they were not conceived as a set).

We are in the land of dreams – Fauré setting translated words by a singer friend, the baritone Romain Bussine, who paid scant regard to the anonymous Italian original which they had found in Niccolò Tommaseo’s Canti Popolari (published in Venice 1841). Bussine’s version is an idealised vision of a lover who suddenly vanishes when the poet awakes; the poet then wants to fall back to sleep to recapture the vision.

There is something languishingly relaxing about the rising crotchets then falling triplets; first introduced by the piano before, underpinned by pulsing piano quaver chords, the flugelhorn makes the theme its own. It may be short, but it is haunting, nostalgic and laden with melancholy. Not surprisingly it has been adopted by other instruments, in the wake of the famous Spanish cellist Pablo Casals’ version from 1910.

Jeanine Rueff (1922–1999)

Sonatine for Trumpet & Piano Allegro risoluto – Andante sostenuto – Presto

Born in Paris, Jeanine Rueff both studied at the Conservatoire de Paris (with the likes of Tony Aubin, Henri Challan, Jean and Noël Gallon, and Henri Büsser) and then spent her career teaching there, firstly as assistant in Marcel Mule’s saxophone class and then in Ulysse Delécluse’s clarinet class, before teaching Solfège sight reading and harmony, where her pupils included JeanMichel Jarre (of Oxygène fame). In addition to works for saxophone (including a Symphonietta for four saxophones), and a chamber opera La Femme d'Enée, Rueff composed three exhibition pieces for the Conservatoire’s trumpet concours over two decades. Firstly, in 1949, she composed Fantaisie Concertante for cornet, followed by tonight’s Sonatine in 1957 (again originally for cornet in Bflat) and, finally in 1967, her Mobiles for trumpet.

extending its opening fanfare-like motif and leading straight into the briefest of finales that still manages to accommodate ternary form, where the fiendishly dotted rhythms and triple-tongued running passages of the first section and smoother second section leapfrog each other, ending in a third sounding of the opening.

Nakariakov has championed this work by Rueff throughout his career, recording it as early as 1992, when he was just 15. It certainly deserves to be more widely known.

Dedicated to “Raymond Sabarich et Albert Adriano, amicalement (Concours du Conservatoire National de Musique)”, Rueff’s Sonatine is in three seamless movements in typical fast–slow–fast format. The first is in sonata form, a splash on the piano setting the trumpet off with spiky fervour and syncopated snatches, later opting for smoother rhythms that melt into the more flowing second theme. The development requires a straight mute for the trumpet, but the frenetic opening music returns, with even more stabbing accents leading to a resounding rasp before the concluding flourish. The Andante sostenuto middle “movement” is in binary form, its slow cantabile (“song-like”) opening section, again heralded very briefly by the piano, sounding like a meandering nightscape (a Parisian answer to Aaron Copland’s Quiet City perhaps, which was only 20 years old at the time). The second section is a cadenza ever17

Johannes Brahms (1830–1897)

Trio in E-flat for Horn, Violin & Piano, Op 40 (Adapted for Flugelhorn) Andante Scherzo: Allegro Adagio mesto Finale: Allegro con brio

This four-movement chamber work dates from the summer of 1865, where Brahms composed it on holiday in Lichtenthal in the Black Forest. The unusual combination of horn, violin and piano meant that Brahms sanctioned performances with the cello taking the horn part (thus a typical piano trio formation), but he was never particularly convinced by it. He eventually came to like the idea of the viola as a substitute and published just such a part in 1884, and given the qualities of the flugelhorn he may well have enjoyed the transcription we hear tonight.

The Adagio mesto (“mournfully slow”) is the emotional heart of the whole work. In it Brahms poured out his feelings following the death of his mother three months earlier (the German Requiem was also a contemporary work in which he started to work through his grief). In E-flat minor, the Adagio opens and closes with a rocking berceuse followed by a contrapuntal second theme, started by the flugelhorn, before more hope is offered by a flowing F major theme, although it is the berceuse that returns at the close.

The Finale breaks the sombre mood, but its 6/8 gigue, once again making use of the (original) horn’s hunting associations, is connected to the third movement in the use of the F major theme now speeded up (and a completely different mood), as well as a hint of the berceuse’s growling bass semitone that it is heard again here.

The work is particularly notable in that Brahms, in the first movement, opted against sonata form (ie two contrasted themes introduced in turn, repeated and then developed before being brought back – in the recapitulation – before the final coda). Instead he alternates the slow meditation of the opening Andante with the not-too-much-faster animato sections. The normal key relationships are also ignored, so the first two times the Andante is heard it begins and ends in the tonic (E-flat) while the contrasting dance-like theme (in triple time) is given in C minor, which appears twice. Finally, in the return of the Andante, the music does manage to escape the tonic by being reintroduced pianissimo in a far away key, before wending its slow trajectory back to E-flat to close.

The Scherzo, this time encompassing sonata form, is rustic in its use of the original horn in its traditional hunting guise but is contrasted with a return to the mood of the first movement in the slower A-flat minor section (Trio) that also foreshadows the slow third movement.
