- Mozart Serenade No. 6 in D major (_Serenata notturna_)
- CPE Bach Concerto in D minor for Flute and Strings
- Rameau Suite from Les Boréades
Find inspiration in a serenade by the 20-year-old Mozart and in works by two artists he admired. Eminent British musician Harry Bicket, appearing in his Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra debut, reveals the musical and rhythmic inventiveness and startling modernity of the work Rameau completed in 1764. In this final opera, the French composer chose to extol personal liberty, a daring notion for the 1760’s and one that Mozart would echo in his operas. LACO superstar David Shostac, “world class…a musician’s musician,â? (Henryk Szering) delights with his golden flute in the Bach.
“Under Harry Bicket’s flamboyant direction, [Rameau’s Suite from Les Boréades sparkled with the random unpredictability of an opulent chandelier, the lush ornamentation had a melting fluidity, and the theatricality was entrancing.â? – The Scotsman
