program
As part of the "Newcomers" series
: Joseph Haydn: Piano Trio in A major, Hob. XV:18;
Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber: Renouée des oiseaux (2023) – Swiss premiere;
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49.
Duration approx. 75 minutes, no intermission.
No concert bus.
Tickets: CHF 0-35.
To conclude the Newcomers weekend, Trio Basilea, winner of the 2023 Orpheus Competition, returns to the music village of Ernen. Haydn's A major Trio was composed in London in 1795 and is noticeably inspired by the English fortepianos, which were larger and more sonorous than their Viennese counterparts.
Mendelssohn's Trio in D minor (1839) is perhaps the most classical of all Romantic piano trios, with its exemplary opening movement—whose beginning, with the quotation of Schubert's song "Journey to Hades," immediately creates a semantically charged, epically sublime atmosphere—featuring two contrasting themes; the extended Song Without Words in the Andante; the fairy-tale Scherzo; and the Beethoven-esque Finale.
Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber's Renouée des oiseaux (The Knotweed) "takes its name from a weed—wild, freely growing grass—that grows where it is not wanted, much to the delight of the birds that feast on its seeds," the composer explains. In tightly interwoven canons, repeated motifs—like the unwanted weed?—appear constantly throughout. From this emerge oscillating soundscapes full of color and energy.
