SUMMARY:Australian Haydn Ensemble – Beethoven's Fourth
DESCRIPTION:How does that one go again? Neglected even amongst Beethoven’s even-numbered “B-side” symphonies\, No. 4 in B flat can be slow to spring to mind\, but once that effervescent first subject banishes the mock-gloomy introduction\, the delights of this work come flooding back. “Masterclass” is applicable\, but it’s far too much fun for that. The Watts arrangement for flute and string sextet lends a filigree of clarity to a warm and witty work that will leave audiences beaming. \nPre-interval also sees the AHE in miniature symphonic mode. In 2025\, listeners loved the Linz\, so roll on Mozart’s prequel\, The Haffner Symphony\, K. 385\, also presented in Cimador’s bite-sized arrangement. Written in a whirlwind of deadlines\, weddings and house-moving\, Mozart famously forgot he’d composed it at all – only to discover it was rather good. Generations of listeners agree: it brims over with opera buffa bravura and rollicking rhythm. \nBoccherini may be short on symphonies to pare down\, but his predilection for extra bottom end with his string quintets always gives them an ambition beyond the chamber. The one in A minor from 1778’s Op. 25 has the deep lustre and nobility of a substantial work. As you’ll discover\, there’s no shortage of his unmistakable character: from galloping caballos to a closing rondo in Turkish style. \nLean and lovely fare and a fourth to be reckoned with. \nBMEC’s presentation of The Australian Haydn Ensemble is proudly sponsored by Ben Gelin OAM Solicitor and Notary Public. \nEvent Notes: Genre Classical Music\nAge: All ages
