How amazing that all three incredible works in this program received negative responses from audiences and critics on their first performance. Such is the nature of artistic endeavour and creativity! Bizet’s opera Carmen caused a huge scandal on its first performance in March 1875, the story being way too risque for the audiences of the time. This deeply affected the composer who died shortly after, aged 36, never knowing its future success. Similarly, Mahler’s 4th Symphony received a negative response initially, the work supposedly had confusing intentions and a perceived inferiority to the more well-received Second Symphony. When Sally Beamish was asked if she had ever had a sketchy review of one of her works, one piece came to mind, her oratorio Knotgrass Elegy from back in 2000. Her wind quintet was conceived of the same material and will be proudly performed here!
