CHRISTIAN KLUXEN, conductor
DAVID BOUTIN-BOURQUE, clarinet
Ligeti: Melodien
Mozart: Symphony No. 38 in D major, “Prague”
Nielsen: Clarinet Concerto
Korngold: “Much Ado about Nothing” – Suite
From the deceptively simple to disguised genius, these works from different eras connect in intriguing ways. Ligeti’s Austro-Hungarian roots link the Vienna of old with the micro-melodic modern day. Mozart’s “Prague Symphony” features the same playful wit and melodic genius of his operas The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Korngold was viewed as modern day Mozart, evolving from child prodigy in Vienna to a pioneering composer for stage and screen. And Nielsen’s neo-classical concerto, featuring VS Principal Clarinet David Boutin-Bourque, encapsulates the Danish composer’s often inscrutable personality.
