19:30 WEDNESDAY 20 SEPTEMBER 2023, GRAND HALL, LISZT ACADEMY
Dohnányi Season Ticket 1
Berlioz: Harold in Italy, Op. 16
Verdi: Quattro pezzi sacri
Conductor: Riccardo Frizza
Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Choir (choral director: Zoltán Pad)
Győző Máté (viola)
Győző Máté, principal violist with Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, performs one of the finest works for viola in the canon. Unusually, the composition Harold in Italy by Berlioz was commissioned by the most brilliant violinist virtuoso of all time, Niccolò Paganini, but in the end he never debuted the piece that is considered far more a programme symphony than concerto. After the intermission, Verdi’s ‘four sacred pieces’ provide an ideal opportunity for Radio Choir to display their enormous versatility since these four compositions were actually written for different groupings: Ave Maria for mixed choir, Laudi alla Vergine Maria, a setting of a prayer by Dante, for female voices, Stabat Mater for orchestra and choir, and Te Deum for orchestra and double choir.
