Longy Club Concert Opens Season in Jordan Hall
The Longy Club presented its first wind concert of the season at Jordan Hall in Boston. Richard Strauss youth work in B flat major featured a large ensemble with two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, four horns, two bassoons and a contra bassoon, noted for its unusual history and lack of opus number. The Andante movement was praised for its melodious, imaginative harmony, while the gavotte-like third movement showed spirit. The finale teased a stronger return but the fugue disappointed. Flutist Mr. Maquarie and pianist Mr. de Voto then offered Carl Reinecke Undine for flute and piano, remarking on Mendelssohn’s influence on Reinecke and Niels Gade. Maquarre performed four or five movements, exceeding the program, yet the soloist’s tone and virtuosity were praised, with hope for future appearances of the sonata.
