Algarve Camerata in Residence… From Stage to Screen

From Stage to Screen Algarve Camerata · Conducted by João Miguel Cunha

The symphony was born in the theatre. Before it became the form that fills concert halls, it was the piece played while the curtain was still down; and it was in Milan, in the hands of Giovanni Battista Sammartini, that it broke free of the opera house and began to exist in its own right.

In those same years, far to the north, a man born in Bergen was filling the stages of Copenhagen: Ludvig Holberg, whom they called the Molière of the North. A century and a half later another son of Bergen - Edvard Grieg - wrote, for the bicentenary of Holberg's birth, the suite that now bears his name, dressing it in the old dances of the baroque stage: the dances of the man he was honouring, not his own. Already in the twentieth century the music of the stage moved house: it left the theatre for the screen.

That is the journey the Algarve Camerata makes in this concert. From Sammartini's Milanese symphony to Grieg's northern dances, and on to seven film scores that have outlived the films that gave rise to them. Which seven, we are not saying here. You will find out in the hall.
