*Thursday, February 21 at 7:00 PM* • please forward • *Guitar, Viola & Flute*: Serenades from Beethoven's Time• Oleg Timofeyev ~ guitar Stephen Creswell ~ viola Jeffrey Cohan ~ 8-keyed flute Dear friends,         Tomorrow please join us for Beethoven-era sonorities only to be experienced on period instruments, and some most unusual and exquisite early 19th-century repertoire!  Both the flute and the guitar were made in 1820 in London and Russia respectively, and can be heard in the followingrecordings of Drouet and Giuliani (please see links below), with Jeffrey and Oleg performing on these instruments.         Please see also the following lovely reflections of our last program, from a performance in Vancouver. We hope you'll join us tomorrow (Thursday) for the /Serenade/, Opus 14 by Leonardo de Call (1767-1815), the /Troisieme Serenade/, Opus 10 by Anton Bernhard Fürstenau (1792-1852) and another /Troisieme Serenade/, Opus 7 (ca. 1810) by Joseph Küffner (1776-1856). -   -   -   -   - —Elizabeth Paterson, ReviewVancouver.org, January 31, 2019        "Set side by side, the fluid, vivid music of Handel complementing and complemented by Bach’s rich, introvert poetry, the sonatas illuminated the wide emotional range offered by the Baroque period.        "From the beginning, the douce sound of Jeffrey Cohan’s baroque flute drew listeners in with charm and grace and was beautifully balanced by Lenti’s clear-flowing guitar playing. Cohan mastery of the flute was apparent throughout. Technically impressive with long, artfully framed lines, it is with his subtle variations of gesture, tempo and dynamics that he unties beauty and expressiveness. In this he is ably abetted by John Lenti, whether playing gentle guitar or robust theorbo, his realizations invariably reinforced the flute and adorned the music. It was an evening elegant, unpretentious and altogether lovely." —complete review: http://reviewvancouver.org/co_ssemf_BaroqueFluteandLute2019.htm -   -   -   -   - *LISTEN:* ~ Mauro Giuliani's Maestoso from Serenade, Op. 127 with Oleg TImofeyev (early 19th-century guitar) and Jeffrey Cohan on the 8-keyed flute by George Rudall, London, 1820 (recorded in Kiev, Ukraine) Giuliani's Maestoso from Opus 127 <https://soundcloud.com/simphonie-nouvelle/giuliani-maestoso-from> ~ Oleg TImofeyev and Jeffrey Cohan in Drouet's pyrotechnical variations on God Save the King on these instruments.
