Roaring Sounds - Zuger Sinfonietta & Kris Garfitt
Overview
Intro
Zuger Klassik Abo #3
In the third Zuger Klassik season concert, the much-neglected (when it comes to solos) trombone is the hero. Charismatic young Brit Kris Garfitt, winner of the famous ARD Music Competition and first solo trombone-player at the WDR Symphony Orchestra, is bringing us two very different works. The first is Carl Maria von Weber’s emotionally charged Concertino (a testament to the search for personal expression from the Romantic period). The other is a vibrant Suite by Prague composer Erwin Schulhoff, inspired by dadaism and jazz. After the post-First-World-War dissolution and from the Roaring Twenties onwards, his music continued to pick up new impulses, and was classed as «degenerate» by the Third Reich. Schulhoff died in 1941 in an internment camp in Bavaria, having been arrested when trying to leave for the Soviet Union. Those two pieces will be topped and tailed by Haydn’s «Farewell symphony» – in protest at the working conditions in the court, the musicians leave their seats one by one at the end of the symphony – and Dvořák’s «American suite», linking the old continent with the new world, in particular since Dvořák was director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York from 1892 – 1895.
