Beleura House & Garden presents
Timothy Young & Paavali Jumppanen
The Meeting of Faust, Liszt and Debussy
A rare opportunity to hear virtuoso pianists Paavali Jumppanen and Timothy Young together in recital playing Franz Liszt’s epic Faust Symphony for two pianos. Inspired by Goethe’s drama, the symphony is a psychological exploration of the characters of Faust, Gretchen and Mephistopheles and reveals Liszt’s contribution as one of the most innovative composers of the nineteenth century.
Liszt’s fame during his lifetime was so wide-reaching that students flocked to Rome from all over the world to get some time with the great master. One such opportunity arose for none-other than French genius Claude Debussy.
Back in 1886, Debussy and his friend Vidal played this Faust Symphony 2 piano arrangement for Liszt himself and in return the evening after Liszt played his solo, Au bord d’une source (Beside a Spring), from his collection of works called ‘Years of Pilgrimage’.
The impact of Liszt’s playing on Debussy and in particular his pedalling was profound and undoubtedly the works of Liszt were inspiration for the young Debussy and his own compositional style.
Years later works like, ‘L’isle joyeuse’ (The Joyful Island), inspired by Antoine Watteau’s 1717 painting, The Embarkation for Cythera, would combine and advance both Liszt’s ground-breaking harmonic approach and his transcendental virtuosity.

Emily Sun in Recital
Storm and sunlight
Emily Sun’s previous performances with the ASO left the audience wanting more. Now, the remarkable young violinist joins another superb Australian musician, pianist Andrea Lam, for a special recital. Grieg’s Sonata opens in darkness but its melodies soon shine with warmth and radiance. The six pieces in Sibelius’ suite range from a virtuosic Gypsy dance to a gentle lullaby. Fazil Say’s Sonata emulates the sounds of the wilderness in a visceral portrayal of our environment’s vulnerability. This compelling program highlights the beauty and fragility of the natural world.

BEETHOVEN 7 & BRUCH’S VIOLIN CONCERTO
This performance, conducted by Mark Wigglesworth, has two masterpieces to rediscover.
Bruch’s Violin Concerto No.1 is his most famous work, perfectly capturing the intensity of romance. Through all the emotions, there’s a wonderful sense of momentum urging us forward. You’ll be swept away by the shimmering technique of Australian rising star Emily Sun.
Beethoven’s Seventh is as monumental as it is familiar. One of the greatest symphonies ever written, full of power and longing, it dances with the joy and exhilaration of life.
Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture leads our Great Classics program, and provides an opulent, cinematic introduction to an uplifting concert experience.*

Mostly Mozart – Drama of the Winds
A rich and colourful display of wind and piano.
The imaginative and versatile Finnish virtuoso Paavali Jumppanen has established himself as a dynamic musician of seemingly unlimited capability who has already cut a wide swathe internationally as a solo recitalist, orchestral collaborator, recording artist, artistic director, and frequent performer of contemporary and avant-garde music. In recent years Paavali Jumppanen has dedicated much of his time into performing cycles of the complete Beethoven and Mozart Piano Sonatas.
The Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) is dedicated to training exceptional young musicians, creating alumni that work around the world.
About the concert
Paavali Jumppanen performs with and directs musicians from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) in a program exuding vivid orchestral colours from Brett Dean, Martinů and Mozart.
Beginning with Brett Dean’s thrilling Polysomnography, a work which takes the particular and abstracts it, taking inspiration, in this instance, from sleep patterns. Followed by Martinů’s Sextet for Piano and Wind, a work that showcases his rich textural writing and colourful harmonic language. Finishing with the rich lyricism of Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Winds.
These woodwind-heavy pieces provide a less familiar palate over which ANAM musicians with director Paavali Jumppanen will paint a thrilling range of sounds and orchestral colours.
