Duo Baroque
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
For a whimsical composition for an unlikely combo, stayed tuned for Jean Françaix’s “Duo Baroque” as played by Jeremy McCoy on double bass and harpist June Han.
Hilary Hahn will give an exciting recital at Carnegie Hall on November 17, but you can enjoy her here first by listening to her vibrant violin soaring over the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra under Hugh Wolff in Sam Barber’s Violin Concerto.
Some interesting cello works can be heard later in the evening. Try this on for size: “Il tracciato di Marta” (or Martha’s Electrocardiogram) by Giovanni Sollima, who plays the cello in his own work, joined by the Ensemble Soni Ventorum. He says the work grew out of listening to the sound of his unborn daughter’s heart heard in the doctor’s office. Then cellist Truls Mork performs “Air,” a work written for and dedicated to him by Aaron Jay Kernis; Eiji Oue conducts the Minnesota Orchestra.
