- Risør chamber music festival – review
Wigmore Hall, LondonEvery summer for 20 years, the pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and violinist Lars Anders Tomter have invited musician friends to join them in a small harbour town in Norway for a busman's holiday. Now, with Andsnes about to step down as director, they have taken the 2010 lineup on tour.Their four-concert Wigmore Hall residency was a mini-festival in its own right. On Sunday, from the two-handed Debussy's Cello Sonata that opened the morning to the closing performance of Honegger's searing Second Symphony, played by a conductorless 22-piece string orchestra, the playing glowed with an easy intimacy. Or – in the case of Andsnes and Marc-André Hamelin's exhilarating crash through the two-piano version of The Rite of Spring that Stravinsky made for the Ballet Russes – crackled with gung-ho virtuosity.Several of the highlights showcased Swedish clarinettist Martin Fröst, whose playing was nothing short of revelatory. Mesmerising in Berg's Four Pieces (Op 5), his constantly inventive eloquence made Mozart's familiar Clarinet Quintet seem quite new.Two works were written especially for Risør. Bent 。ørensen's Schattenlinie brought together Fröst, Andsnes and Tomter for five fragile, beautiful miniatures in which the sonorities of the clarinet, piano and viola were delicately merged, every note carefully chosen.The centrepiece of the evening was Rolf Wallin's Under City Skies, a half-hour work for viola, strings and surround-sound in which Tomter's viola solos and the propulsive orchestral rhythms emerged from disembodied city sounds, mythologising the mundane: high heels clacking on pavement, town hall bells, chirping sparrows, a car ignition. The viola soars but always returns to earth; the work might be a Lark Descending or, Wallin suggests, a grimy fli ウィグモアホールでは、20年LondonEveryの夏には、ピアニストのレイフオヴェアンスネス、バイオリニストラースアンダースTomterは、バスの乗務員の休日のため、ノルウェーの小さな港町で、それらに参加するミュージシャンの友人を招いている
