Radio Chamber Orchestra - live broadcast
Wednesday, 23 February 2011 , 19.00

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011, starting from 19.00 The Radio Chamber Orchestra and the conductor Adrian Morar will offer the audience a concert that will include some well-known classical creations, composed by Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The only exception, in this Viennese classical context, is the work that will open the concert, Stop the War, for 16 string instruments, by the young composer Cristian Bence Muk.

As long as Haydn is represented, in this concert, through two creations for the orchestra – the second Nocturne in F major and the Divertismento in G major Hob x:4 – regarding Mozart, four works for soprano and orchestra have been chosen, freestanding or extracted from great vocal-symphonic creations.

The soprano Teodora Gheorghiu will be the special guest of the evening. Through her qualities – light timbre, impeccable technique, the remarkable stylistic sense, the excellent diction, a legato that fully covers the exigencies specific to the voice’s tone – Teodora Gheorghiu has all the qualifications to become, in short time, one of the important names in the contemporary lyric, at her vocal category.

Awarded at the ‘George Enescu’ International Competition, the 2003 edition, with a ‘Herbert von Karajan’ scholarship, that threw her open the doors to the Vienna State Opera, after a year of studies at the ‘Queen Elizabeth College of Music’ from Brussels and other two years as a soloist at the Lucerne Opera (Switzerland), Teodora Gheorghiu has already caught the attention of the European record labels. She recorded a CD with arias, alongside the prestigious ensemble ‘Les Talents Liriques’ and the conductor Christophe Rousset and another one, a lied CD, having as a partner the pianist Jendrik Springer.


As for the Motet Exsultate, jubilate K 165, with its three parts, the last one being the famous Alleluia, it is one of the pages dedicated by Mozart to the soprano voice, in which the technical possibilities must be adjusted to every move, so that the Allegro – Andante – Allegro contrast can be emphasized not only dynamically but most of all as a sonority subtlety.

Et incarnatus est from the Mass in C minor K 427 - a peak of the Mozartian inspiration - demands a summum of vocal and interpretative qualities in that the pure sonorities, so called stratospheric, are compulsory for the realization of the emotion’s intensity at the parameters desired by Mozart in this sublime creation.

An orchestral and vocal programme not only precious…and pretentious but also rarely sung and played, will present to the audience The Radio Chamber Orchestra, the conductor Adrian Morar and the young soprano Teodora Gheorghiu, Wednesday, February 23rd.

Being familiar with the ensemble and the invited young artist’s interpretative qualities, we expect an evening not only successful but also, why not, that will not be forgotten to soon.
