På onsdag den 5. oktober kl. 19.00 -21.00 afholdes debatarrangementet “Italienske musikere i London i starten af 1700-tallet” i Det Blå Hus, Bille Brahes Vej 2, Frederiksberg. Gunnhild Tønder og Pernille Petersen fortæller og spiller musikeksempler af Castrucci, Händel, Corelli m.fl.

Om arrangementet: “I begyndelsen af 1700-tallet flokkedes italienske musikere om at tage til London og prøve lykken. De fleste af dem påstod at være elever af den kendte Mr. Corelli, men de færreste har nok egentlig været det. Med udgangspunkt i Händels førsteviolinist Pietro Castrucci tegner vi billedet af en barsk hverdag som musiker og komponist i den, på daværende tidspunkt, største by i verden”

I sidste uge havde den nye danske animationsfilm Ronal Barbaren premiere.
Pernille Petersen medvirker til filmmusikken med blokfløjtesoloer og to kompositioner. Men man skal høre godt efter, for undervejs i filmen er man travlt beskæftiget med at følge Einstein Films finurlige påfund og høre Nicklas Schmidts flotte filmmusik.
Filmen kører i biografer landet over.

This week the new danish animation Ronal the Barbarian premiered in Denmark. Pernille Petersen is contribution to the film music and soundtrack with recorder solos and two compositions.

“This new CD is a recording based on a printed collection of flute and basso continuo sonatas by Francesco Geminiani and Pietro Castrucci printed by J. Walsh (1718-1725) in London and adapted from the violin sonatas. Both Geminiani (1687-1762) and Castrucci (1679-1752) were virtuostic Italian violinists who worked with Handel as freelance musicians for the British aristocracy and London houses, as well as elsewhere in Northern Europe.
The cosmopolitan, virtuostic vitality of these works are reflected in the performances of the Danish recorderist Pernille Petersen (winner of the Moeck/SRP Solo Recorder Competition in 2009), the harpsichordist Gunnhild Tønder and English baroque cellist Tom Pitt. Throughout this CD the ensemble displays great precision and teamwork. Most effective are two sonatas by Castrucci taken from the op. 1 violin sonatas (no. 2 and 3) and adapted for the recorder. Unlike the violin sonatas adapted by Walsh to fit on a treble recorder, this ensemble has kept the original key by using a voice flute (Sonata no. 2) and descant (Sonata no. 3 op. 1).
Castrucci’s Sonata no. 2 in E minor is certainly very suitable on the voice flute. The opening Adagio is very powerful, sonorous and melancholic. Petersen certainly communicates raw emotion in this first movement that gains momentum and tension in the second movement, Allemanda. Here the continuo team help propel the recorder to a dramatic pause at the end of the movement and a bizarre Adagio cadenza with a stately Aria Francese to conclude this breathtaking sonata.
Castrucci’s Sonata no.3 in G Minor, played by Petersen on the descant recorder, begins with raw emotional harmonic tension. In this Adagio/Andante movement the tempo isolates nervously between rich and beautifully sustained suspensions and wild trills to energetic arpeggiated passages by Petersen and her continuo team that are hypnotic to listen to. In the second movement, Allegro Giu, the breathtakingly virtuosic recorder part is driven by the exiting and tightly rhythmical teamwork of the harpsichord and cello. Again this is followed by a quirky and frantically exhilarating dance Giga Allegro. Here Petersen, Tønder and Pitt display the wonderful talent and virtuosity of fantastic musicians who work amazingly well as a team. Hopefully this is the first of many recordings by this brilliantly engaging ensemble.
