Scottish Ensemble with Pieter Wispelwey
Wigmore Hall, London
Saturday, October 16 2010 7:30 PM
| Vivaldi | Concerto for strings in G minor RV 156 |
| Sibelius | Impromptu |
| Aulis Sallinen | Chamber Music VIII 'The Trees, All Their Green' op 94 for cello and strings (UK première performances) |
| Vivaldi | Concerto for violoncello and strings in B minor RV 424 |
| Enescu | Octet in C op 7 (arr for string orchestra) |
Cellist Pieter Wispelwey made his debut with the Scottish Ensemble in a programme that ranged from the dark forests of Sibelius' Finland to the sparkling waters of Vivaldi’s Venice.
Enescu’s rarely heard Octet completed the programme, in a version for full string ensemble arranged by Artistic Director, Jonathan Morton.
Chamber Music VIII, a new work by the veteran Finnish composer Aulis Sallinen, was commissioned by the Ensemble together with Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Wurtemburg Chamber Orchestra and Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
