The challenging soprano solo of Bach's most popular cantata and Telemann's composition Ino is sung by Carolyn Sampson, whose fresh tone, superb technique and subtle sensuality were highlighted by the critic in Guardian. In the Bach cantata, as well as in the Brandenburg Concerto, the trumpet will play a prominent role. Once the first female trumpet student at the Liszt Academy, Fruzsina Hara now plays with some of the world's leading orchestras. In addition to virtuoso solos, the evening will also reveal how Telemann saw the character and music of different nations.
Could there be a more appropriate choice for 29 September than Bach's cantata, perhaps originally written in honor of St Michael? Of course, as the score indicates, the work is "et in ogni tempo"; i.e., it can be played at any time. This is the only Bach cantata written for soprano voice and trumpet solo. The opening aria is a virtuoso dialogue with violin. A strikingly melodic and expressive recitativo leads into the intimate plea of the second aria. The work concludes with a concerto-like chorale arrangement and a fugal, joyful alleluia.
At that time, Bach was the "mediocre" musical director of the St Thomas Church in Leipzig, after the "legendary" Telemann refused to take up the post. Among the hundreds of works by the immensely popular Telemann are several orchestral suites, also known as overtures after the opening movement. Even though the composer had not travelled the world, he was familiar with the characteristics of its peoples. In his play, nicknamed "Nations", he captures the worlds of the impetuous Turks, the young and old Swiss, the Muscovites and the Portuguese.
Bach's six Brandenburg Concertos, completed in 1721, represent the crowning achievement of Baroque concerto-production. In the second concerto trumpet, recorder, oboe, and violin form a special soloist group. In the opening movement, the soloists play the rhythmic theme in a variety of combinations. In the lamenting andante, the trumpet is silent, only the other three instruments sigh. Then in the finale, they reunite, almost completely eclipsing the accompanying string section. The work ends with dense, cheerful music.
Telemann wrote his dramatic cantata Ino at the age of 84. The story begins where Handel's opera Semele ends. At Zeus' request, Ino and her husband Athamas raised Dionysus, angering Hera. The goddess drives the couple mad: Athamas shoots one of their children, mistakenly thinks he is a savage while Ino jumps into the sea with the other. Zeus saves Ino and makes her a goddess. After a sensitive setting of the tossing in the sea, the cantata concludes with a hymn of Mozartian beauty and melody.
