Four evenings of Beethoven is a thrill that, in Mumbai, one usually has on headphones and speakers. For the fever of listening live, one needs investing in a week in Vienna, Berlin or London. But those without a fortune to spare need no longer despair: they can 'seize fate by the throat' right here at the NCPA.
Kreutzer, Eroica and Emperor, monikers that make up the dreams of every Beethoven lover, as also Spring and Tempest, will constitute the mainstays of the Symphony Orchestra of India's Autumn 2014 Season.
"Usually people say sex sells, but in the Western music world, we say Beethoven sells," says the orchestra's music director, Marat Bisengaliev. Jokes apart, "this programme is dedicated to (NCPA founder) Dr Jamshed Bhabha on his 100th birth anniversary. He loved Beethoven, a love shared by many".
The 10-day season, between September 2 and 30, will also have an all-Mozart evening, with Maria Joao Pires, one of the greatest interpreters of the composer, playing his Piano Concerto No 9. She will also perform Tempest (Beethoven's Piano Sonata No 17), and, along with another pianist, Schubert's Fantasy in F minor (one piano, two pianists).
Another acclaimed artiste to grace the season will be French violinist Augustin Dumay, who will perform Mozart's Violin Concerto No 3 on September 23 and two days later Dvorak's Bagatelles (with another violinist, a cellist and a pianist), Franck's Violin Sonata and Beethoven's Archduke Trio. Also on the season's programme are Britten, Bartok, Debussy, Mendelssohn, Sibelius and Schubert.
The Lisbon-born Pires, who now lives in Brazil, used to be a child prodigy; she gave her first public performance, of Mozart's piano concertos, at the age of seven. She is particularly loved for her recording of Chopin's nocturnes, where she achieves rare depths of emotion. Though Chopin is not on the season's programme, music lovers will hope for a nocturne or two to be in the encores.
Dumay, who with Pires, has had one of the most successful violin-piano pairings, was tutored in two of music's best string traditions: the Franco-Belgian, under Arthur Grumiaux, and the Russian, from Nathan Milstein. Not one to be restricted by the classical canon, he has also collaborated with greats like violinist Stephane Grappelli, and guitarists John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia.
Twenty-eight works by ten composers over nine days and a tenth day of a vocal recital. Is this being overtly adventurous? Not at all, says Bisengaliev. "I am surprised by the amount of music my friends in Mumbai listen to. Not like us musicians, for whom silence becomes precious."
