Ludwig van Beethoven’s Septet in E-flat Major, Op. 20, and Franz Hasenöhrl’s Till Eulenspiegel einmal anders!,
an arrangement of Richard Strauss’s famous tone poem, are marvellous
demonstrations of how the timbres of three important groups of
orchestral instruments – strings, woodwinds, and brass – blend together.
After the Septet, with its range of timbres and finely
sculpted texture, the listener is astonished at Hasenöhrl’s ingenuity in
conjuring an entire orchestra out of only fi ve instruments. Together,
these two works form a lighthearted program imbued with a touch of
humour. (Florence Brassard)
