Anna Clyne: Sound and Fury
Robert Schumann: Violin Concerto in D minor
Joseph Haydn: Symphony no. 90 in C major

“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,” says the doomed Macbeth in his final monologue in the eponymous play by Shakespeare. Anna Clyne’s Sound and Fury takes as its other source of inspiration Haydn’s Symphony no. 60, ‘Il distratto’, which intriguingly parallels Shakespeare’s text. Robert Schumann was also nearing the end of his life as he sought treatment at a mental institution. His friends prevented his Violin Concerto from being performed, and it was not premiered until 80 years after the composer’s death. Haydn wrote his Symphony no. 90 for a performance in Paris in 1788, its elegance carefully crafted in deference to its intended audience.

Pre-concert talk at 18.00–18.30.
