Northwest Sinfonietta
Yaniv Attar, conductor, Hector Del Curto, bandoneon
Debussy (arr. Lee), Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
Piazzolla, Aconcagua (Bandoneon Concerto)
Mussorgsky (arr. Lindberg), Pictures at an Exhibition
Each movement of Mussorgsky’s masterpiece, Pictures at an Exhibition, was inspired by a piece of artwork by Viktor Hartmann, including hatching chicks, children at play, Baba Yaga’s hut, and more. Bandoneon soloist Hector Del Curto joins Northwest Sinfonietta for Piazzolla’s Aconcagua for solo bandoneon, harp, piano and strings. Bandoneon is the instrument of Argentinian tango, which Astor Pizzolla mastered and revolutionized, and this concerto is arguably the ‘aconcagua’ or peak of his body of work. Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun opens the concert, casting its spell of warm sunshine and half-remembered dreams.
