london mozart players Founded by Harry Blech in 1949 as the UK’s first chamber orchestra, the London Mozart Players (LMP) is regarded as one of the UK’s finest ensembles. Under the leadership of Music Director Gérard Korsten the orchestra is internationally renowned for its outstanding live performances and CD recordings and for its definitive performances of the core Classical repertoire. The LMP also plays an active part in contemporary music, giving many world premières and commissioning new works, especially of British composers. In recent years, the LMP has premièred new works by composers including Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Tarik O’Regan, Sally Beamish, Cecilia McDowall, Lynne Plowman, Fraser Trainer, Roxanna Panufnik and Tansy Davies. Since 1989, the LMP’s home has been Fairfield Halls, Croydon, thanks to generous funding from the London Borough of Croydon. This residency includes a series of subscription concerts at the hall and numerous education and community activities throughout the borough. Touring is a major part of the orchestra’s schedule, with regular appearances at festivals and concert series throughout the UK and abroad. It is Orchestra in Association of The Anvil, Basingstoke and Turner Sims Concert Hall, Southampton and has strong relationships with other major UK venues. Overseas, the LMP has visited Spain, Belgium and France and, most recently, has enjoyed a succesful nine day tour of Germany. The 2010/11 season marks the start of conductor Gérard Korsten’s three-year term as the LMP’s fifth Music Director, continuing the strong Classical tradition developed by Andrew Parrott, Matthias Bamert and Jane Glover. This season sees the orchestra continuing to work with established artists including Howard Shelley, Joseph Swensen, Catrin Finch and Chloë Hanslip, whilst building new relationships with bright new stars including Maximillian Hornung and Francesco Piemontesi. The LMP’s new association with Korsten also sees the introduction of some of the best European soloists to the Fairfield season. www.lmp.org

The LMP has developed an extensive and highly regarded education, community and audience development programme, LMP Interactive, and is particularly committed to developing new audiences in outer London boroughs as well as rural areas across the nation. It had a residency for over nine years in the East Lindsey District of Lincolnshire, generating a huge following for live classical music in the area; a similar association with South Holland District Council allows the orchestra to reach into the heart of the Fenland communities. Working with educational institutions also brings inspiring and valued relationships, providing a professional grounding for young musicians, and the LMP is associated with Royal Holloway University of London, Wellington College, Wimbledon College, Portsmouth Grammar School and the Whitgift Foundation Schools in Croydon. Other ventures include visiting care homes, presentations in SureStart centres and concert demonstrations in primary and secondary schools. The LMP receives project funding from Arts Council England, Orchestras Live and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. In addition, the LMP receives grants from trusts, foundations and many individuals, particularly the Friends of the LMP in Croydon. Recording has played a major part in the orchestra’s life for many years. Its acclaimed Contemporaries of Mozart series with Matthias Bamert for Chandos numbers over 20 CDs to date, with the latest release of Boccherini proving a success with the critics. A recording with Canadian pianist Alain Lefèvre of works by Mendelssohn, Shostakovich and Mathieu for Analekta was awarded a Canadian Juno Award in 2010. The LMP performance of Tansy Davies� As with Voices and with Tears, performed at Portsmouth Cathedral, by Portsmouth Grammar School Chamber Choir was nominated for a South Bank Sky Arts Award 2011.

Throughout his career Béla Bartók was influenced by folk music. Together with fellow countryman and composer Zoltán Kodály, he travelled extensively in Romania and neighbouring countries searching for and collecting thousands of authentic folk songs. They visited hundreds of villages and made numerous recordings of peasants singing and playing instruments. What Bartók and Kodály discovered was not just an unsuspected wealth of folk music but a highly original musical language which had little in common with the accepted forms of Western music. Its characteristics were a different arrangement of the different notes in the basic scale and their associated harmonies, and a strongly accented, complex rhythm. Both composers realised that they could create a new and powerful idiom for themselves by totally accepting the features of Hungarian folk music without adapting them, as Liszt had done, to the more ʽcivilisedʼ classical forms and harmonies. Bartók in particular seemed suddenly to have found his identity, and those of his works which established his fame as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century were all the result of this discovery. The Romanian Folk Dances were originally written for piano and date from 1915. Two years later Bartók arranged them for orchestra, and he, as well as others, made further arrangements for a variety of instrumental combinations. The works consist of seven short dances from different regions, and they are played with hardly a break between them. © Stefan de Haan

Violin Concerto in A minor I II III

Allegro ma non troppo Adagio ma non troppo Finale: Allegro giocoso ma non troppo

“Thin on top and grumbling in the bass” was how Dvořák referred, rather unkindly, to the cello – the instrument he wrote his most popular concerto for. One of Dvořák’s pupils said that the composer himself preferred the Violin Concerto and his rude remarks about the cello suggest that perhaps that is why; Dvořák was also a good viola player and an able violinist. The Violin Concerto was written in 1879 when the composer’s reputation was fast growing internationally. Dvořák now found himself in the company of such luminaries as Brahms and his violinst friend Joseph Joachim, for whom he wrote the piece. The first sketches of the piece were made in July 1879 and at the end of that month Dvořák visited him in Berlin and they presumably discussed the piece. Joachim recommended many revisions to the piece and as Dvořák himself was a compulsive reviser of his own works, this set the first performance of the work back some months. Sadly, Dvořák destroyed the original material, so we can not be sure exactly what was changed. Even these alterations were not enough for Dvořák’s publisher, Simrock, who wanted a new ending for the first movement. However, Dvořák seems to have become frustrated with the idea of further changes and refused, perhaps because the linking passage between the two movements is one of the loveliest in the piece. Simrock accepted Dvořák’s judgement and in 1883, four years after it was completed, the work was published. Although Joachim did perform an orchestral runthrough in Berlin, he never publicly performed the work, suggesting that he was not happy with it in its final version; the première was given in 1883 by Dvořák’s friend the violinist František Ondříček. © Simon Funnell

Astor piazzolla (1921–1992) Four for Tango & Melody in A minor A late work of Piazzolla (he died only three years later, in 1992), Four for Tango was written for one of his strongest influences, the Kronos String Quartet. Since Tango is considered the music of the Argentine soul, tango traditionalists attacked Piazzolla on many fronts about this piece. They disliked the extreme dissonances, the chromaticism and complex chords, rhythmic inventiveness within the basic tango beat, contrapuntal textures, some classical avant-garde techniques, and the use of ensembles other than the traditional tango band. The Tango genre, with Piazzolla, is transformed from its traditional roots in the late 19th century into something utterly different. His works – over a thousand of them – are termed “Tango Nuevo,” and are the product of an eclectic mix of ideas, exemplified by the people with whom he studied and with whom he performed. Many of those were classically trained musicians, beginning with Herman Scherchen, Nadia Boulanger, and Alberto Ginastera, with whom he studied composition, and Mstislav Rostropovich, the Kronos Quartet, and Gidon Kremer, with whom he occasionally recorded. But Piazzolla’s roots were always in the folk idioms of his home in Mar del Plata, Argentina, and in Buenos Aires, where the Tango took form.

and performed with the greatest Classical and Jazz musicians of his time from the Fifties onwards, and achieved immense popular success. About tonight’s arrangement: “I have changed very little from the original version written for string quartet except, of course, when it came to deciding where to bring out the solo quartet and where to let the string orchestra take over. I have tried to keep the solo quartet prominent and therefore needed to alter the dynamics with regard to balance between quartet and orchestra. A double bass part has also been added to bolster the tuttis. As a violinist I played this piece many times in the original quartet version and always felt that the quartet lacked power at the music’s most violent moments, and what it needed was a full section of roaring strings to get the extra weight of sound. So here it is! I hope you like it.” © Joseph Wolfe

Piazzolla was born in 1921 and by the age of four had moved to New York City, where apart from one year in Argentina he lived until he was 17. His father bought him a bandoneón, a South American folk instrument, at a pawn shop when he was eight, and he became a devoted bandoneónista for the rest of his life. Moving back to Argentina in 1937, he immersed himself in the study of the Tango, playing with several groups, and simultaneously studying Classical music, working with a pupil of Rachmaninov, Bela Wilda, and pianist Raul Spivak. In 1953 he won the Fabien Sevitzky Competition with a work for two bandoneóns and symphony orchestra, and at the Buenos Aires première a fist-fight broke out between purists of both Classical music and Tango, all of whom felt offended by the mixture of genres. But with the money he won, he went to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, who urged him to abandon Classical studies for the Tango. Finding his authentic voice, he wrote www.lmp.org


wolfgang amadeus mozart (1756–1791) Symphony No. 36 in C, K425 Linz I II III IV

Adagio - Allegro spiritoso Poco Adagio Menuetto Presto

Mozart and his wife Constanze (they were married in August 1782) visited Linz in the autumn of 1783 on their return journey from Salzburg to Vienna. They arrived at the end of October and stayed three weeks as the guests of Count Thun. The visit to Salzburg had been disappointing. Mozart’s father had always opposed the marriage of his son, and meeting Constanze did little to alter his opinion of her. The relations between him and the young couple remained strained, to say the least. It was therefore hardly surprising that both Constanze and Mozart felt more at ease in Linz where they had friends, where Mozart’s music was admired and where he could feel free from the domination of a father whom he loved, but who refused to accept that at the age of 27 his son was no longer a child. Soon after his arrival in Linz it must have been decided that Mozart should give a concert. “On the fourth of November,” he wrote to his father, “I shall give an Academy (benefit concert) at the theatre here. And since I have not a single symphony with me, I am writing one hurriedly which must be ready by then.” This left only four days to complete the work. It was indeed ready by 4th November and Mozart dedicated the symphony to Count Thun.

dimensions of the symphony. The slow introduction and the second movement have their moments of mystery, but on the whole the work reflects Mozart’s happy state of mind which, after the sad experience in Salzburg, he had found once more in Linz. This positive mood is evident in the finale, particularly when the simple theme of a broken common chord makes the most unexpected and humorous appearances. © Stefan de Haan

Constanze Mozart

The Linz Symphony, written in and for that city, showed what Mozart could do when he felt he was appreciated, and the limited time at his disposal presented him with an additional challenge. Confident and inspired as he undoubtedly was, he composed in Linz the most ambitious symphony he had written so far. As the resident orchestra included trumpets and drums, Mozart used them extensively. He wrote, against his usual practice at that time, a slow introduction to the first movement, and a Menuetto important enough to balance the considerable
