WAGNER
Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde
MARGARET SUTHERLAND
Concerto for Violin and Orchestra
BERNARD HERRMANN
Suite from Vertigo
MENDELSSOHN
Symphony No. 5 in D major, op. 107 'Reformation'
We begin with one of the most original harmonic ideas in the history of Western classical music: the 'Tristan' chord. Brimming with tension and dissonance, it sounds the opening of Wagner's 'music-drama', Tristan und Isolde, before surrendering to what feels like an eternity of silence, leaving the listener with no idea what comes next.
So full of ambiguity and expectation, Wagner's Tristan chord influenced all the composers who followed him. We hear echoes a century later in Herrman's Vertigo, the soundtrack to Hitchcock's psycho-thriller. As in Tristan, the score is central to the drama: psychological, mysterious, lingering and suspenseful.
In Sutherland, we discover musical innovation akin to Wagner's, expressed in a very different cultural context. One of the most influential Australian voices of the twentieth century, her violin concerto is an ingenious blend of lyrical Romanticism and the modernist, post-Stravinsky sound world she inhabited.
The influential German composer Mendelssohn blurs the lines between the sacred and the symphonic in his Fifth. A commemoration of the momentous Augsburg Confession, Mendelssohn's symphony resonates beyond its historical context with a message of joy and universal humanness.
