Ensemble ad Libitum - Stadler and Strings
Tuesday at St. Peter's Church, 320 Boston Post Road, Weston
Wednesday at The Chapel at West Parish, 129 Reservation Road, Andover
Thursday at Lindsey Chapel, Emmanuel Church, 15 Newbury Street, Boston
Ensemble ad Libitum presents a program revolving around Anton Stadler, Viennese clarinet virtuoso, instrument designer, part-time composer, and inspiration for Mozart's clarinet works. As a composer, Stadler's works reflected the aesthetic of his modest upbringing, making use (and light) of Austrian folk songs and popular operatic works of the day. His first caprice also demonstrates the humor that initially captivated Mozart. Mozart's Clarinet Quintet was written specifically for Stadler and his newly invented "Basset Clarinet", which features an extended lower range. Mozart's astonishing use of the clarinet timbre in conjunction with the string quartet creates a work that remains one of the most well-known in the clarinet repertoire. A charming quartet by Haydn rounds out the program.
Thomas Carroll (clarinet & basset-clarinet), Go Yamamoto & Lisa Goddard (violins), Zoe Kemmerling (viola), & Oliver Weston (cello).
