WATTEAU REVISITED
Jean-Antoine Watteau is best remembered as a painter of the fête galante – dreamlike compositions of depictions of aristocrats at play in the outdoors. Almost a third of Watteau’s works feature musicians. We look at his La Leçon de musique, Les Charmes de la vie and Le Mezzetin of Commedia dell'Arte fame which inspired Debussy’s Masques. Many of Watteau’s musicians played either the guitar or theorbo and we’ll hear Les folies d’Espagne by Marin Marais arranged for guitar, and Robert de Visée’s Suite in C minor for the strange, but enchanting theorbo.
THE SOLITARY CELLIST
We look at three colourful works (in the literal sense): The Cellist (1909) by Amedeo Modigliani; The Cellist (Portrait of Upaupa Scheklud) (1894) by Paul Gauguin; and The Cellist (Serevitsch) (c.1916) by Chaim Soutine. We will hear extracts from Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco’s 11 Capricci for Solo Violoncello; Theme and Variations in D minor for solo cello by Sibelius; and Shchedrin’s Russian Fragments and Alfred Schnittke’s Improvisation for solo cello – all rarely heard works.
