(recorded in the Aurora Centre, Christchurch by RNZ)

In Young New Zealand this afternoon we hear from the finalists of the 2014 National Concerto Competition: clarinettist, Nathaniel Smorti,   violinist Arna Morton and cellist Matthias Balzat. The National Concerto Competition is held in each year in Christchurch for under 25s and alternates between piano and orchestral instruments. Last year 54 players competed. The finalists competed for a significant $7000 First Prize, but all three finalists had the invaluable experience of playing with an orchestra.                                                                          

The judges for the 2014 National Concerto Competition were violinist Curt Thompson from the University of Melbourne and Principal cellist of the NZSO Andrew Joyce. They couldn’t decide between first and second places for the two remaining finalists, so gave two first prizes – to Matthias Balzat and our second performer this afternoon Arna Morton from Christchurch. Arna is a budding concertmaster who has led several of the country’s youth orchestras including the New Zealand School of Music Youth Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra. In this afternoon’s concert she plays Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No 1.

BRUCH: Violin Concerto No 1 in G minor Op 26; ZIERHOFER: Crises for percussion ensemble (recorded in the Auckland Town Hall by RNZ)

On this week’s Young New Zealand we return to Auckland Town Hall for stunning performances from the Auckland Youth Orchestra, recorded in October last year.

The first work in the programme is Max Bruch’s ever popular Violin Concerto in G-minor performed by Jim Wu.

Next on the programme is a commissioned work from a young Viennese composer Markus Zierhofer, he’s written it especially for the percussion section. The title called ‘Crises’, inspired by Beethoven and his personal crises: the loss of his father, affection for his nephew and the problems that led to, and his deafness. He tells us in his programme note that he has ‘used the fate motif, but it is mostly hidden or in a context other than what may be expected’”

This concert was recorded in the Auckland Town Hall by Radio New Zealand

Thirteen programmes that explore classic song - poetry set to music - as a prism for understanding culture and history

Presented by Thomas Hampson

(4) Fascination with the Foreign

Hector Berlioz was a political and musical radical. His songs are the framework for looking at life in France and Germany between the revolutionary years of 1830 and 1848, when a fascination with the outside world created passionate interest in Shakespeare, Scotland, and Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. Other composers lured by the unknown include Stephen Foster, Robert and Clara Schumann, Robert Franz, and Carl Loewe (WFMT)
