Discoveries 2: Music for mezzo-soprano, cello and piano by and with Graham Waterhouse

Anna Doris Capitelli, mezzo-soprano
Miku Nishimoto Neubert, piano
Graham Waterhouse, cello

Graham Waterhouse: Les Tantrums d'Arlequin for cello and piano (2001)
Graham Waterhouse: Hinx Minx for mezzo-soprano and piano (2016)
Graham Waterhouse: Shravana for mezzo-soprano, cello and piano (2022, UA)
Graham Waterhouse: Fergus for mezzo-soprano and piano (2018)
Charles-Valentin Alkan: Sonata de Concert for cello and piano (1857)

Discoveries 2 contrasts the large-scale cello sonata by Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813–1888) with more recent works by Graham Waterhouse. The world premiere is »Shravana« (Sanskrit: »to hear«) for mezzo-soprano, piano and cello, with settings of Buddhist texts and a haiku. The song cycle »Hinx Minx« is based on Victorian nursery rhymes, sometimes eccentric or crude.
Alkan's "Sonate de Concert" is a romantic work, with singing melodies and full of virtuosity. In a juxtaposition of sublime and trivial elements, the music anticipates Gustav Mahler.

In collaboration with NEUSTART KULTUR and the Alkan Society, London

Link to Concert

This is to announce a Livestream Concert from Gilching, Bavaria, on Saturday 8th May 2021, 7:30 pm (6:30 pm UK time) under the website: www.kunstforum-gilching.de

with works for soprano, cello, piano by G. Handel, R. Strauss, A. Zemlinsky and G. Waterhouse.

Man in the Moon is based on a remarkably contemporary-sounding medieval poem. The two songs from the cycle Emerald Spring are settings of Irish female poets, one written in the Victorian era and one in the 1970s. Der Schimmelreiter was inspired by the dark and stormy hues of the novel by Theodor Storm. Fergus sets a poem by W.B. Yeats.

We would be delighted to have your virtual company on that evening, please do join us!
