Interview
Isabelle Faust and François-Xavier Roth in conversation with Christoph Streuli François-Xavier Roth and Isabelle Faust
Claude Debussy and Paul Dukas admired Richard Wagner’s music in their youth, resulting in a blend of French flavour and Wagnerian echoes in their early works. François-Xavier Roth demonstrates that with Debussy’s mystical cantata La Damoiselle élue and Dukas’s overture Polyeucte. We also hear Dukas’s most popular symphonic poem, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Soloist for the concert is Isabelle Faust, who performs Béla Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 2.
