Strings concertmaster Aurélien Pederzoli returns for his second appearance as violin
soloist joined by New Millennieum Orchestra viola colleagues
Doyle Armbrust and
Dominic
Johnson.
"The Three
Fiddles" each
lead diverse,
freelance
careers
embracing
the classics,
contemporary
music,
rock and rap.
Pederzoli and Armbrust are members of the newly-formed Spektral Quartet. Among
the great violin-viola duos of the literature is Mozart’s glorious Sinfonia Concertante,
which is as romantic as it is representative of the 18th Century. Bach’s Brandenburg
Concerto No. 6, the last of the famous set composed in the style of the concerto grosso,
features the mellow voice of two violas in duet as “concertante” soloists contrasted
with Bach’s exuberant tutti. Haydn’s early Symphony No. 59 (“Fire”) probably earned its
nickname from the extremely energetic first movement with its unusual “Presto”
marking. Haydn’s unending originality in each of his more than 100 symphonies is
legend.
Pederzoli plays a 1717 Carlo Bergonzi violin on generous loan from Francis Akos,
Highland Park Strings conductor emeritus and former assistant concertmaster of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
"Violinists Aurélien Pederzoli and J. Austin Wulliman, violist Doyle Armbrust and cellist Russell Rolen
are offering a winning combination of superb playing and fresh approach to repertoire choice and
concert staging (Spektral Quartet)."
