AUTUMN
Friday 22 October, 8pm
at the National Concert Hall
R. Strauss Dance of the Seven Veils from Salome, Op. 54 [7']
Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K622 [19']
Mozart The Magic Flute Overture, K620 [47']
R. Strauss Der Rosenkavalier Suite, Op. 59 [19']
John Finucane clarinet/conductor
Mozart's serene Clarinet Concerto, the last solo instrumental work he composed, and the opera, The Magic Flute, are works from the end of the composer's life and demonstrate some of the highest achievements of any artist in their beauty of expression. Noted for its delicacy of interplay between the soloist and the orchestra, John Finucane will direct the concerto from the clarinet.
Richard Strauss, like Mozart, loved the stage and this evening we hear the music from his opera Der Rosenkavalier, reworked by the composer into an orchestral suite in the latter years of his life.
To begin, his infamous Dance of the Seven Veils, a sumptuous masterwork.
