***

Und die Seele unbewacht / Will in freien Flügen schweben Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht / Tief und tausendfach zu leben
Beim Schlafengehen (Going to sleep) 
Hermann Hesse (music by Richard Strauss) 

For his Crespo Series recital with Dénes Várjon, Henning Kraggerud has picked three key works from the Romantic violin repertoire each composed in 1886, Brahms’ lyrical, song- inspired A major Sonata, Grieg’s C minor Sonata and Franck’s Sonata, presented to Ysaÿe on his wedding day. In addition Kraggerud promises to tell the love stories behind each work.

Louise Farrenc’s Nonet for wind quintet and strings was a triumph in her lifetime. It is written in the noble Divertimento tradition that gave us Schubert’s Octet and well deserves a similar place in the repertoire, each movement leaping out with ever new invention.  

Pierre Thilloy’s Khojaly 613 comes from another place, written to commemorate a massacre of innocents in the ongoing war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Mate Bekavac will play an Armenian traditional reed instrument, the duduk, in place of the clarinet. Mairéad Hickey is undertaking the demanding solo violin part in this intensely dramatic work. After so much drama, Strauss’ Four Last Songs will seem restful. They are the crowning achievement of a life devoted to composing for the human voice and a consummation of the composer’s belief in the eternal qualities of melody and musical expression.

Tchaikovsky’s vast romantic Piano Trio was dedicated to the memory of a great artist, his mentor and friend Nicholas Rubinstein. Elegiac works in the Russian tradition tend to be massive and this one is no exception as it celebrates as well as mourns the life of its dedicatee.
