Jump To Comment: 1 2Apologies for misspelling Kraggerud's name in the last paragraph above. The piece in the program by Prokofiev was, "Five Melodies Opus 35b."
Last night's concert in The National Concert Hall was part of the International Concert Series 2015/2016 presented by the concert hall. The series is sponsored by Dublin Port and the Irish Times lends support as "print media partner." Sponsors often appear to us to be silly people who part easily with their money. But in reality there is more than money involved. Sponsors can put starch in many a community effort with their support as well as their money and sponsorship says something about the sponsors themselves as well as about the ventures they subsidise.
Swedish Chamber Orchestra
Conductor: Thomas Dausgaard
Piano: Christian Ihle Hadland
Albert Schnelzer, A Freak in Burbank (2007). Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 26 in D major, K. 537 "Coronation." Brahms: Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73. 2 encores.
It was marvellous to see Christian again this time on a larger stage in prestigious context. He has lost nothing of his warm presence which comes across abundantly on the concert platform. Like many a stout individual his full figure conceals a strong underlying athleticism. He coped very easily with the music and projected it in a very congenial way. I think he was the cornerstone of this concert and helped to create the happy and friendly mood which I thought was in clear evidence throughout among the audience conductor and players.
Dausgaard on the other hand is a slightly spidery figure and he reminds me of a progressive parish priest who used to minister near me in Co. Louth. His orchestra is well-knit, well-drilled, willing. Good attack. Good timing which was especially important in the first item on the program. Balance. Clarity and elucidation of the myriad musical ideas in evidence in this concert. No priggishness; a businesslike approach. There is no doubt that Dausgaard is a dramatic figure and he has a particularly well-shapen pair of hands. But it is all in the interest of the music. Not mere flamboyance.
When people perform in church or in the concert hall not many people advert to the matter of the program. The importance of the program as such cannot be overestimated. Everything synced tonight. Lovely program.
