Odeion

"... and even when Ginastera gives you one piece with a close family likeness to another, you listen with a sense of renewal thanks to performances by Mariangela Vacatello of a superb zest, brio and imaginative scope... she has technique in spades, making her a front-runner with Argerich's legendary live Three Argentinian Dances... no praise could be high enough for Vacatello's achievement." (Gramophone 2016)

Mariangela Vacatello is recognised worldwide as an exceptionally gifted artist, reflected in the numerous awards and effusive reviews she received. Her performances have regularly been broadcasted by prestigious radio stations worldwide. The Second Prize at the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition in 1999, at the age of 17, catapulted her towards an international career as a soloist, performing at Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall (Manchester), Walt Disney Hall, Montpellier Festival, Weill Hall (NYC) and the Oriental Centre (Shanghaj). She has appeared with such prominent orchestras as the Philharmonic of Teatro alla Scala, National Orchestra Santa Cecilia (Rome), RAI in Turin, Lithuanian Symphony, Stuttgarter Philharmonics, Prague Chamber Orchestra and has performed with renowned conductors such as Andris Nelsons, Krystof Penderecky, Andrès Orozco-Estrada, Gábor Takács-Nagy and Alain Lombard. Amongst her numerous top awards the following deserve special mention: the Solti Foundation Award, XVII Venice Prize, Finalist and Worldwide Audience Award at the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, 1st Prize Top of the World International Piano Competition 2009 and the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in 2005.

Retelling Telemann's Tale

Retelling Telemann’s Tale...

With the Odeion Baroque Ensemble

12 November 2017

Odeion

16:00

The Odeion Baroque Ensemble presents this concert titled Retelling Telemann’s Tale... consisting of some of the most appealing works by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767). This concert falls with the 250th anniversary of his death.

During the concert the Namibian/South African narrator, Dorian Haarhoff, will elucidate on Telemann’s life and works. Tenor Lance Phillip will perform two sacred solo cantatas with organ (one with oboe and one with recorder). A Trio Sonata with an extraordinary setting for harpsichord, oboe and organ will be included. This will be followed by a quartet for bassoon, oboe, violin and continuo - an exceptional work with beautiful bassoon solos.

The rest of the programme will consist of concertos. The Double Concerto for recorder and bassoon is probably one of the Telemann’s most popular works due to the skilful manner in which Telemann interweaved these two instruments’ parts. The Double Concerto for oboe and violin is seldom performed, because it is unfinished. This will be followed by the Violin Concerto in G minor and the programme will be appropriately concluded with a composition named Conclusion. Telemann named it as such because it is the last work in his series Tafelmusik. Conclusion is a short concerto for two recorders.

Members of the Odeion Baroque Ensemble include Maretha Krige (harpsichord), Petrus Krige (recorder), Kobus Malan (oboe & recorder), Brahm Henkins (bassoon), Elspeth Neary (violin), Tilla Henkins (cello), Lance Phillip (tenor & organ) and Francois Henkins (violin).
