Program:
Fryderyk Chopin / Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra n. 1 op. 11
Gabriel Fauré / Pavane op. 50
Igor’ Fëdorovič Stravinskij / Pulcinella, suite per orchestra
Three European voices, three eras, three styles telling the story of the orchestral form between lyricism, dance and theatre. At the centre is Chopin’s Concerto No.1 op.11, composed when he was 20 years old: intensely cantabile music, melancholic, but also full of vitality.
It is performed by Michelle Candotti, an Italian talent who has won prizes at numerous competitions, and is appreciated for her precision and natural expressiveness.
On the podium is Glass Marcano, a young Venezuelan conductor who emerged from the Abreu system and won the La Maestra competition in Paris.
Her communicative energy and clarity of gesture find ideal terrain in the suite from Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella, built on Pergolesi’s falsi, between baroque irony and twentieth-century timbres. It is musical theatre in orchestral form, at once cultured and amusing.
Between the two extremes, Fauré’s Pavane op.50, a brief elegy born for dance but transfigured into a light and crepuscular orchestral page with an unmistakably French style. A programme that plays on contrasts with measure and intelligence.
