Hong Kong Sinfonietta is one of Hong Kong’s flagship orchestras. With Yip Wing-sie as Music Director, the orchestra has brought music closer to the community, and has achieved significant recognition locally and internationally for its passionate performances and innovative programming.

Since 1999, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has collaborated with an illustrious array of international musicians and groups, including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Plácido Domingo, Augustin Dumay, Fou Ts’ong, Christopher Hogwood, Luciano Pavarotti, Pinchas Zukerman, The Royal Ballet, Mariinsky Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, English National Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. The orchestra has also been a regular participant at all the major festivals in Hong Kong including the Hong Kong Arts Festival, Le French May, Hong Kong International Film Festival and festivals presented by the Hong Kong Government.

It also partners regularly with Hong Kong Ballet and Opera Hong Kong in their staged productions.

The orchestra performs year-round with over 100 performances a season and has been the Venue Partner of the Hong Kong City Hall since 2009.

Apart from standard orchestral repertoire, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, as an avid believer of keeping music alive and contemporary, commissions and performs new works every year and ventures into crossover concerts both at the City Hall and at the residency at ArtisTree. 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. The third album has been awarded a Gold Record since its release in November last year.

On the educational front, Hong Kong Sinfonietta has pioneered specially-designed concerts for different age groups. New concepts on the Hong Kong concert stage, Good Music for Kids, Good Music for Babies, Know Your Classical Music, Short-cut to Classical Music and HKS McDull Music Project have provided a new realm in audience development. Since 2010, Hong Kong Sinfonietta’s chamber music concerts have continued to break down barriers between music and audience as we perform at unconventional spaces.

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 the prestigious Festival International de Piano La Roque d’Anthéron, Les Flâneries Musicales d’Été de Reims and SaintRiquier Festival in France, Festival Pianistico Internazionale Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Settimane Musicali al Teatro Olimpico in Italy, Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall in Poland and in Lithuania; in China at the Shanghai Spring International Music Festival and China Shanghai International Arts Festival (Expo 2010 Shanghai), in Beijing at the National Centre for the Performing Arts; in Japan in Nagano and at La Folle Journée in Tokyo and Niigata. In 2015, the orchestra has been invited to perform in Korea at the Tongyeong International Music Festival and will make its début in Switzerland in October.

節目介紹 今晚音樂會演奏的三首作品，來自三個世紀，但最早和最晚的一首相距不過120年。我們以逆 時序的方式演奏它們，而且逐步向西方靠攏。開首是香港作曲家鄺展維的世界首演作品 《// 黑夜之前 /》；香港小交響樂團曾在2014年的香港藝術節中首演他的《如川，不舍晝夜》 。 回到60年前的1955年，俄國作曲家蕭斯達高維契的第一小提琴協奏曲在當年首演。他一直沒有 公開這首早已完成的作品，直到史太林的獨裁統治終結後才公諸於世。作品深刻地形容了在專 制社會之下生存的困難。之後我們再回溯差不多60年，在1896年西貝遼士（今年是他150周年 的冥壽紀念）首次推出了他四個樂章的組曲。該組曲是根據芬蘭民族史詩中的英雄故事撰寫 的，此後他又作了不少修改。

西貝遼士（1865–1957）

作為一部詩集，《卡萊瓦拉》的影響力不容小覷。 西貝遼士出生於芬蘭少數的瑞典語家庭中（但他卻 到第一所芬蘭語學校上學），當時芬蘭還在俄國沙 皇的直接統治之下，《卡萊瓦拉》因此被視為尋求

芬蘭獨立的象徵。1899年的「二月宣言」，讓俄國

進行了修改，在1897年11月1日才推出全套組曲。

對芬蘭的控制更為收緊，言論自由也進一步受到限

「圖奧奈拉的天鵝」原�是組曲�的第三首，但修

制，但也使芬蘭的民族主義情緒變得更為高漲（這 一年西貝遼士鼓舞人心的作品《芬蘭頌》也正好面 世）。在芬蘭人努力建構他們的民族身份的過程 中，《卡萊瓦拉》無疑扮演了重要的角色。而西貝 遼士對這部著作的熱愛，部份原因也源於這一民族 主義的思潮。

���卻變為第二首。 不過，「圖奧奈拉的天鵝」和「藍敏凱寧的回歸」 之後被再次修改（後者被刪去一大段），並在1900 年��出版。而組曲�的「藍敏凱寧與薩里的少女 們」和「藍敏凱寧在圖奧奈拉」則保持原狀達40年 之久，這可能是因為西貝遼士的導師兼指揮家卡亞

像合唱交響曲《庫勒沃》（Kullervo）一樣，《藍敏

努斯（Robert Kajanus）對修改曾有異議。最終在

的作品則以第29章為故事的起點，描述藍敏凱寧離 開皇宮，表面上是前往薩里島追求美麗的凱莉姬 （Kyllikki） 。一如組曲中的第一樂章「藍敏凱寧與薩 里的少女們」所述，他趁著島上的男人正在戰場上 廝殺，引誘了島上的所有婦女（只有凱莉姬似乎不 受誘惑，於是藍敏凱寧將她拐走，最終娶了她為妻 子），後來島上的男人回來把藍敏凱寧趕走。然 而，性慾極強的他，厭倦了凱莉姬之後，又轉而追 求波希奧拉（Pohjola）。女魔法師路希（Louhi，波 希奧拉的母親）向他開出一些條件，其中最苛刻的 任�是要到芬蘭的冥府圖奧奈拉，�殺那�的�天

作品甚富戲劇性，因此足以單獨拿來演奏（前面的 描述雖然證明故事很有趣，但在欣賞音樂時卻不是 絕對必要的） ，值得留意的是「圖奧奈拉的天鵝」中 有一段代表天鵝的著名的英國管獨奏。樂曲的初版 是A小調，�面有文�描述�：「冥府圖奧奈拉， 芬蘭神話中的地獄，被一條黑色而湍急的大河環 繞，圖奧奈拉的天鵝在河上優雅地游動和歌唱。」 作品餘下的部份主要都是降E大調（或C小調，即其 關係小調）的，那是貝多芬（例如《英雄》交響曲） 和李察．史特勞斯（《英雄的一生》）最喜歡使用的 英雄樂調，因此相當適合藍敏凱寧的個性。

Programme Notes Three works from three centuries, although between the earliest and latest there has been barely 120 years. We hear them in receding order (while also moving steadily westwards), opening with a world première, commissioned from Hong Kong composer Charles Kwong, whose As the Streams Never Cease was premiered by the Hong Kong Sinfonietta at the 2014 Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Turn back the clock 60 years, to 1955, when Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich heard the première of his First Violin Concerto, which he had kept from the public in the dark final days of Stalin’s tyrannical grip of Soviet Russia, the music eloquently describing the difficulties of surviving under such a regime. And then we turn back the clock very nearly another 60 years, to 1896, when Sibelius – this year marks the 150th anniversary of his birth – first presented his four-movement suite based on a hero of the Finnish national epic (although he revised it subsequently).

Charles Kwong (born 1985)

Under the aura of dusk, there is indeed a certain magical hue that could reveal things in different ways that we do not ordinarily see. // beforedark . hk . cn / transfers the very texture, timbre, ambience, and mood of the dusk into a musical progress.

Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975)

Violin Concerto No 1 in A minor, Op 77/99 Nocturne: Moderato Scherzo: Allegro Passacaglia: Andante – cadenza – Burlesque: Allegro con brio

Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto was started on 21 July 1947 and finished on 24 March the following year. Despite having visited the violinist David Oistrakh, to whom the work is dedicated, and playing it through together on the piano, it was one of the works Shostakovich consigned to his private drawer until Stalin’s death five years later. The soloist’s son, Igor, remembers Shostakovich’s visit and, as well as being impressed by the piece, was amazed that the composer had been able to play the Scherzo with not one note missing. But 1948 was the same fateful year that Shostakovich was condemned (for the second time) by the Soviet authorities.

In the ensuing years, Shostakovich concentrated on two contrasting sets of works. On the one hand he composed publicly, a series of hollow patriotic compositions, such as the cantata Song of the Forests. On the other hand, he beavered away privately, working on two of the finest and most deeply felt of his string quartets, the Fourth and the Fifth. He also completed the Tenth Symphony which, like the Violin Concerto, utilises a typical Shostakovian characteristic: both quote the D-S-C-H motto theme whereby, in using German musical nomenclature, Shostakovich was able to musically portray his initial and first three letters of his surname: D, E-flat (in German “Es”), C and B (in German “H”).

The original 1948 opus number for the concerto was 77. Whether it had been laid aside for so long, or simply due to a printing error in the first edition, that was not to be its published opus number.

Suffice to say that, even though there was no major changes, after Stalin’s death, when

Shostakovich unveiled it, the concerto became Op 99 (while Op 77 was reclaimed for Three Pieces for Orchestra).

David Oistrakh remembered that great care was taken over the première, in Leningrad on 29 October 1955, with Yevgeny Mravinksy conducting his Leningrad Philharmonic. There were 10 rehearsals with the composer on hand making small alterations. The western première, conducted

by Dmitri Mitropoulos in New York (again with Oistrakh) took place the same year, and the British première was during the winter of 1956. The concerto is scored for a large orchestra: triple wind, horns, tuba, percussion including xylophone and celesta, harp and strings, but without trumpets and trombones.

The opening Nocturne is the most reflective and searching of the four movements. Its mood is dreamy and introspective, with the soloist entering almost immediately over the deep, sombre opening on lower strings before slowly rising and falling with the ebb and flow of the music. Almost exclusively hushed, save for a climax with a tamtam’s crash, it has the feel of a flowing rhapsodic improvisation, but in fact is a cogently developed, with some beautiful moments of rapt tranquility and a poetic, atmospheric feel.

The Scherzo juxtaposes a swirling wind theme with stabbing solo notes. The roles are reversed and developed before the strings enter. As in the Tenth Symphony, this signifies a burst of energy after the reflective opening movement, and similarly uses the D-S-C-H musical moniker. Like Mahler, Shostakovich would often use seemingly banal musical ideas in his music to add contrast, and the middle section here seems to caricature a folk dance, with wonderful solo invention over busy, but always transparent, orchestral writing.

The cellos, basses and horns state the theme of the Passacaglia (a theme regularly repeated over a ground bass), then the wind introduce it in chorale-like character. The soloist enters at the next statement of the theme, which is finely and tautly

15

developed over the ensuing repeats until a climax is reached. Then, with the soloist over very sparse timpani and pizzicato accompaniment, there starts a long cadenza.

This leads straight into the lively Finale, powerful and vital, which quotes the Passacaglia theme. The xylophone adds its distinctive voice to the typical Shostakovich timbre of the opening. The soloist hardly stops for breath – save for a brief orchestral development – before it rushes headlong to the final timpani beats over swirling wind figures and rhythmic string interjections.

Instrumentation of this piece Strings: 1st & 2nd violins, violas, cellos, double basses Woodwinds: flutes (3), piccolo (1), oboes (3), English horn (1), clarinets (3), E-flat clarinet (1), bassoons (3), contrabassoon (1) Brass: horns (4), tuba (1) Percussion: timpani, xylophone, tam-tam, tambourine Harp, celesta Solo violin

Jean Sibelius (1865–1957)

Lemminkäinen – Four Legends, Op 22 Lemminkäinen and the Maidens of Saari: Allegro molto moderato – Allegro moderato The Swan of Tuonela: Andante molto sostenuto Lemminkäinen in Tuonela: Il tempo largamente – Molto lento – Largo assai Lemminkäinen’s Return: Allegro con fuoco (poco a poco più energico) – Quasi presto – Presto

Lemminkäinen – described as a Finnish Don Juan – is one of the many characters contained within the “Finnish National Epic” – the Kalevala. This book of 50 “runos” describes the mythology of North Karelia as collated and arranged by a doctor, Elias Lönnrot, while he was working north-east of Kajaani between 1833 and 1835, when it was first published, with a revised version appearing in 1849.

It is hard to underestimate the power of such a collection as the Kalevala. Sibelius was born into the Swedish-speaking minority that lived in what we now call Finland (although he went to the first Finnish-language grammar school), when the area was actually a Grand Duchy in the direct rule of the Russian Tsar. The Kalevala acted as a talisman for those who sought an independent Finland, feelings that would be exacerbated in 1899 when the “February Manifesto” imposed even heavier Russian control of the region and restricted freedom of speech (this was the year of Sibelius’ famous musical rallying cry, Finlandia). Thus the Kalevala was important in the creation of a national identity for the Finns and Sibelius’ early fascination with it is part-and-parcel wrapped up in this intellectual movement.

Kullervo – the subject of the early choral symphony that bears his name – was a character from the Kalevala, as was Lemminkäinen. First introduced in the Kalevala’s eleventh runo, as a brave, handsome and over-sexed hero, Sibelius took as the starting point for his Lemminkäinen

16

runo 29 where Lemminkäinen leaves court to visit the Island of Saari, ostensibly to win the hand of beautiful Kyllikki. Along the way he seduces all the women of the island while their menfolk are engaged in battle (only Kyllikki seems wary of his charm, so he abducts her and she eventually becomes his wife). Eventually the men of Saari return and chase Lemminkäinen away. However, given his libido, he soon tires of Kyllikki and heads off to woo in Pohjola, where the sorceress Louhi (mother of the girl he has his eyes on) sets him a number of tasks, one of which is to shoot the Swan of Tuonela (the Land of the Dead).

Lemminkäinen journeys to Tuonela and is about to shoot the Swan, when the son of Tuoni, the God of the Underworld, ambushes him on the banks of the sacred river. Lemminkäinen’s body is cut into pieces and unceremoniously thrown into the river but, thankfully, his mother is also an exponent of magic and is able to piece him back together and bring him back to life. Sibelius, in his original scheme, followed this with a depiction of (the lucky to be alive!) Swan of Tuonela itself, a direct borrowing from what was to have been the prelude to his discarded opera The Building of the Boat, also inspired by the Kalevala. The final part of Sibelius’ musical biography sees Lemminkäinen returning home after many wars, and finding memories still warm from his childhood.

Sibelius conducted the first performance of what was then called Sinfniska Dikter till Motiv ur Lemminkäinen Mythen, with the Philharmonic Society Orchestra in Helsinki on 13 April 1896.

Sibelius was nervous (which probably explains why the orchestra members seemed unhappy), but the work was very well received. However, as was his wont, Sibelius made revisions to the works before presenting the whole suite again on 1 November 1897. It was here that The Swan of Tuonela was moved to follow the opening movement, whereas originally it had been third.

However, after that performance in 1897 the four legends became disconnected. The Swan of Tuonela and Lemminkäinen’s Return were revised again (the latter cutting a substantial part of its

musical argument) and published separately in 1900. However, perhaps mainly because of Robert Kajanus (conductor and Sibelius’ mentor) declaring some qualms about the other movements, Lemminkäinen and the Maidens of Saari and Lemminkäinen in Tuonela were left untouched for 40 years. Sibelius did revise them, long after he had stopped composing new works, in 1939, but the onset of the Second World War delayed their publication even further. They were eventually published in 1954, just three years before the composer’s death.

While the music is dramatic enough to stand by itself (a cursory reading of the story outlined above proves interesting but is not strictly necessary to enjoy the work), it is worth noting Sibelius’ distinctive use of the English horn as the plaintive soloist in The Swan of Tuonela. The first edition of this A minor movement carried the following description: “Tuonela, the land of Death, the hell of Finnish mythology, is surrounded by a large river with black waters and rapid current, on which the Swan of Tuonela floats majestically, singing.”

Much of the rest of the work is in E-flat (or its relative minor, C minor), the heroic key beloved of Beethoven (Eroica for example) and Richard Strauss (Ein Heldenleben), which certainly befits Lemminkäinen’s character.

Instrumentation of this piece Strings: 1st & 2nd violins, violas, cellos, double basses Woodwinds: flutes (2), piccolos (2), oboes (2), English horn (1), clarinets (2), bass clarinet (1), bassoons (2) Brass: horns (4),trumpets (3), trombones (3), tuba (1) Percusssion: timpani, bass drum, snare drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, glockenspiel Harp
