SUMMARY:Sir Stephen Hough - at the JdP Music Building\, St Hilda's College
DESCRIPTION:We are most grateful to Professor Richard Jenkyns for his generous sponsorship of this concert. \n  \nClaude Debussy Ballade \nMaurice Ravel Valses nobles et sentimentales \nFerenc Liszt Ballade no.2 in B minor\, S.171 \nFerenc Liszt Mephisto Waltz no.1\, S.514 \nInterval \nFryderyk Chopin 4 Ballades \n  \nStephen Hough’s programme focuses on waltzes and ballades as seen by composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Ravel’s suite of 8 pieces is a modernistic reimagining\, a kind of fragmented memory of a dance. Liszt’s 4 Mephisto Waltzes are completely different. Strongly narrative\, they are based on the Faust legend and no.1 is the wedding at the village inn\, a scene of wild exuberance\, dancing and sensuality. \nBack in medieval times\, French minstrels travelled the land singing their chanson-balladée\, tales of knightly heroism\, love and betrayal. The tradition went through transformations – in the Renaissance the ballade became a form of poetry – but it was Chopin’s idea to take the idea instrumental. His 4 Ballades retain drama and story-telling\, but wordlessly\, and they are among his greatest works. Stephen Hough has performed them around the world and recorded them to great acclaim. It will be a joy to hear him play them live for us. \nPhoto credit: Antonio Olmos \n  \nWatch Sir Stephen Hough performing Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Gergely Madaras
