Our final
lunchtime concert features Britten Sinfonia’s brilliant brass section
in a programme spanning 400 years, from the courtly dance music of late-16th-century
English composer Anthony Holborne, via Matthew Locke’s majestic
music for brass instruments, probably written for Charles II’s coronation
in 1661, to a brand new work by 21st-century Polish composer Pawel Lukaszewski.
Britten Sinfonia’s principal flautist, Michael Cox, shows off his
virtuosic skills in Oliver Knussen’s Masks, an unusual and technically
demanding work that is effectively a ‘dialogue’ for solo flute.
The title of Janác?ek’s Capriccio gives a hint of the piece’s
character. Written for piano (left hand alone) and wind/brass septet,
it is a capricious, quirky piece, blending folk-like tunes and Romantic
melodies within a 20th-century
harmonic framework.
