Tapiola Sinfonietta Nicolas Altstaedt, cello and conductorGiacinto Scelsi: Natura Renovatur Felix Mendelssohn: Hebrides Overture op. 26 Ralph Vaughan Williams / / David Matthew: Dark Pastoral for cello and orchestra Iánnis Xenákis: Aroura Joseph Haydn: Symphony no. 39 in G minor, ‘Tempesta di mare’ In Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture, the waters of the Atlantic cascade over the listener, but in Haydn’s Symphony no. 39 ‘Tempesta di mare’, the storm is just as much in your head as it is on the ocean. Vaughan Williams’s Dark Pastoral is the slow movement of a cello concerto left unfinished during the Second World War, subsequently completed by David Matthews. Count Giacinto Scelsi was one of the true eccentrics of modern music; in his Nature Renovatur, nature is reborn through smouldering and sizzling trills and tremolos in the strings. In Xenakis’s Aroura, string glissandos and rough tremolos echo textures of the earth. Nicolas Altstaedt is one of the most sought-after cellists of our time, and here he also appears as a conductor.The concert forms part of the programme of the Nature Festival.Live stream on Tapiola Sinfonietta´s YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/J1zUSFRq3nQDISCUSSION EVENT at 18:00-18:30, Tapiola Hall "How will the climate crisis and loss of nature change our lives?"
