Fauré / Schumann / Sohy
Renaud Capuçon, one of the outstanding violinists of our time and celebrated for his captivating musicality and subtle expressiveness, returns to the symphony orchestra – not only as a soloist, but also, for the first time with the Laeiszhalle Orchestra, as a conductor. He brings with him a program that ranges from elegant French lightness to intimate, reflective solo moments to a late Romantic, densely orchestral finale.
The concert opens with Gabriel Fauré’s cheerful »Masques et bergamasques«, which shine with great lightness and elegance. Robert Schumann’s emotionally intense cello concerto is tailor-made for cellist Truls Mørks and his masterful ability to make even the finest nuances of the cello audible.
A particular highlight of this VielHarmonie concert is the rediscovery of Charlotte Sohy: her work »Thème varié« for violin and orchestra—composed by a woman who was highly regarded by Fauré and her colleagues in her day—is a refreshing testament to female creativity in a male-dominated (musical) world. The concert program concludes with the four symphonic interludes from Richard Strauss’ opera »Intermezzo«, in which the composer deals with marriage in a self-confidently ironic and musically extremely colorful way.
A truly »harmonious« program that tells the story of men and women on a musical level and features two guest artists whose virtuosity and expressiveness bring every detail to life.
