Emmanuel Pahud / Kammerakademie Potsdam / Antonello Manacorda
Mendelssohn / Mozart / Saint-Saëns
With a spring in his step
Fleet of foot and with a hint of dance, this programme brings us a reminder of summer in the middle of the autumn. In between Mendelssohn’s sparkling, atmospheric overture to Shakespeare’s »A Midsummer Night’s Dream« and Beethoven’s rhythmic Seventh Symphony, we enjoy Emmanuel Pahud’s virtuoso flute skills.
With a fine tone, effervescent arpeggios and a unique cantabile, probably the best flautist of our time sends magical melodies by Mozart and Saint-Saëns wafting through the Elbphilharmonie. It’s our good fortune that this busy musician, who has been first solo flute of the Berlin Philharmonic for over 20 years, still finds the time for special concert projects like this. Emmanuel Pahud has the best possible partner tonight in the Kammerakademie Potsdam.
