If every piece of music is like an act in a play, then together these three pieces of music create a work that is Shakespearean in its depth and scope. It is hard to believe that Medelssohn write A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the tender age of 17, as incidental music to Shakespeare’s play. It boasts striking effects, with different instruments and passages used to conjure people and places – including a braying ass in the strings. Bruch’s Concerto meanwhile is fiery and demanding; it scales the highest and lowest reaches and surprises the listener with sudden melodic leaps and pace changes. Which leaves us with Walton’s Symphony in finale – herculean in its grandeur and surging intensity, it screams, despairs and finally roars.
This performance is conducted by Carlos Kalmar, with Arabella Steinbacher playing violin.
Winners will be notified via email, and are responsible for their attendance to this event. This competition ends at midnight on 4 October 2018.
