QPAC Concert Hall
Conductor Johannes Fritzsch
Oboe Alexei Ogrintchouk
Cello David Lale
Viola Yoko Okayasu
Beethoven Symphony No.8
Mozart Oboe Concerto.
R Strauss Don Quixote
The Queensland Symphony's Principal Cello, David Lale, and Principal Viola, Yoko Okayasu, shine respectively as the hero and his faithful servant Sancho Panza in Richard Strauss's masterful tone poem, Don Quixote; the work which captures the spirit of Cervantes' novel and portrays the poignant images of this sublime human tragic-comedy. Ernest Newman wrote "for wit, humour, pathos and humanity, there is nothing like it in all music." Before interval Principal Oboe of Amsterdam's illustrious Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Alexei Ogrintchouk, brings a special lustre to Mozart's sparkling Oboe Concerto and Beethoven, in his equally sparkling, witty and brief Eighth Symphony, proves that he was also the god of small things.
