 Saturday 13 November, Wellington Town Hall, 7.30pm
Rameau Overture from Le Temple de la Gloire
WF Bach Harpsichord Concerto in D Major, F.41 Poulenc Harpsichord Concerto "Concert Champêtre"
Saint-Saëns Symphony No 3 in C minor, "Organ" Marc Taddei – conductor
Donald Nicolson – harpsichord
Douglas Mews – Organ French style and zest dominate this concert. Rameau's overture to Le Temple de la Gloire is a magnificently strutting concoction of string flourishes and joyfully trilling horns and trumpets. In a similarly boisterous vein comes a harpsichord concerto by Bach's oldest son Wilhelm Friedemann, born in 1710. Poulenc borrows Bach's harpsichord and some Baroque sensibilities and creates a witty neo-Baroque confection in his Concert Champêtre. Saint-Saëns' Third Symphony calls in the thrilling power of the Town Hall Organ to crown its celebration of gorgeous melody. Free pre-concert talk one hour prior to the performance.
