SUMMARY:FORBIDDEN FRUIT: Cello and Piano Concert from Faneuil Hall
DESCRIPTION:BRAI and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company present a virtual concert by cellist Mickey Katz and pianist Jane Hua. Streaming Now!\n\n\nLearn More and Buy Tickets \nAbout this Event\nForbidden fruit tastes the sweetest is an adage that refers in part to love and in part to the attractions of things that are proscribed. This program explores both aspects. It features one composition inspired by a vibrant and doomed love affair\, and another that was a wedding present\, while also including numerous works explicitly banned or more subtly buried by Soviet authorities for many decades. \nBSO cellist Mickey Katz and pianist Jane Hua perform music by FRANCK\, RACHMANINOFF\, LIGETI\, WEINBERG and SHOSTAKOVICH. Their performance\, recorded live earlier this month\, will premiere on February 28 at 6pm\, followed at 7 by a virtual Q&A with the musicians on Zoom\, where you can ask questions and converse with them as well as other listeners. After the premiere\, you can still register to watch the concert on-demand through March 10th. \nRecorded in the fourth floor Armory of Faneuil Hall\, FORBIDDEN FRUIT is part of the In Honorable Company series of virtual concerts presented by Ballets Russes Arts Initiative in collaboration with the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts (est. 1638). \nCésar FRANCK (1822 – 1890) 1st movement of Sonata for Violin and Piano (1886) \nGyörgy Sándor LIGETI (1923-2006) Sonata for Solo Cello (1948-1953) \nMieczyslaw WEINBERG (1919-1996) Selections from 24 Preludes for Solo Cello\, op. 100 (1968) \nDmitri SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) Cello Sonata in D minor\, Op. 40 (1934) \nSergey RACHMANINOFF (1873-1943) Vocalise (1915)\, from 14 Romances\, op. 34 no.14\, Transcribed for cello and piano \nThe cello sonata by Shostakovich encapsulates both the romantic and prohibited aspects of the program. It was written in August 1934\, while the composer was having an affair that led to a short-lived divorce (he remarried his first wife Nina in 1935 after it turned out she was pregnant with their daughter)\, and conveys the emotional turmoil he was experiencing. Just over a year later\, in early 1936\, Pravda published two article denouncing Shostakovich’s recent operas and ballets after Stalin was displeased with them\, which effectively buried the composers early works from performance and forced him to shift his musical style in order to avoid arrest. György Ligeti’s solo cello sonata\, by contrast\, was banned without being premiered or published. It was completed in 1953\, when Hungary had entered the Eastern Bloc\, and all music had to be scrutinized by the Communist-controlled Composers’ Union. It would not be performed publicly until 1979\, gradually gaining recognition throughout the 80s and 90s. Meanwhile\, Weinberg’s 24 Preludes\, though not actively prohibited\, lay dormant for almost 30 years between their composition in 1967 (for Mstislav Rostropovich) and premiere in 1995 (by Yosif Feigelson). \nYour ticket purchases and donations are shared by BRAI and the artists. Free registration ends on the 28th\, but a donation of any amount can allow you to watch the concert after that. \nMICKEY KATZ has been a cellist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 2004.
