VIENNESE MASTERS Saturday 17th March, 2012 – 7.30pm METHODIST CENTRAL HALL, QUEEN STREET, SCARBOROUGH Ian Belton – violin Sophie Harris – cello Symphony No. 26 in D minor, 'Lamentatione' HAYDN Double Concerto in A minor BRAHMS Symphony No.5 in C minor BEETHOVEN Tonight we will be performing works by three composers associated with Vienna. We begin with an early example of one of Haydn's 'Sturm und Drang' works, his Symphony No.26 (Lamentatione), which was written for Easter week in 1768 (or 1769) and became known for the 'Christus' theme used as the opening movement's second subject. We are very proud to welcome Ian Belton and Sophie Harris to perform Brahms's Double Concerto for violin, cello and orchestra. Ian and Sophie are two of the biggest names in the string world and we are extremely proud to be performing this masterpiece with them. Miss this at your peril! It seemed only fitting to close the concert with Beethoven's stunningly original Symphony No.5. This work has to be one of his most analysed and best loved works, and a pillar of the orchestral repertoire. Sponsored by Broadland Properties Ltd.
