Our guest conductor, David Nimrod Pfeffer, won the third prize at the Maestro Solti International Conductor Competition in 2017. He selected three masterpieces for the concert tonight. The Magic Flute was written by Mozart in the last year of his life. The overture itself is as a great masterpiece as the opera that it was written to. The three notes of trombones opening the overture is a quote from a scene in the opera, whereas the slow introduction refers to the ruler of the Empire of Good. All this is followed then by a fast-paced section, in which the fugue is simply gorgeous.
Schubert is regarded a Romantic composer, but his Symphony No. 5 is still part of the world of the Classical Period. It was written in 1816, when Beethoven had already finished his Symphony No. 8 and already begun to outline the ninth symphony on paper and in his mind. It is a beautiful work in which the composer did not waste time and used various instruments sparingly. It is largely cheerful, but the slow movement is moderately dramatic, while the final movement is a sheer outbreak of unrestrained happiness.
The Pastorale symphony by Beethoven expresses also a kind of joy, which one will experience in the vicinity of nature. Uniquely among his symphonies, Beethoven even wrote down what he was thinking during composition: the feeling that overwhelms one when arriving at a village, a scene beside a brook where birds are singing, the joyous merrymaking of peasants, a summer rainstorm, and the paean of ordinary, simple hearted people upon the storm’s passing away.
