French musical magic with Juanjo Mena
This programme is characterised by musical sophistication and French spirit – such as Maurice Ravel’s depiction of the lovers of antiquity, Daphnis et Chloé. With a sometimes delicate, sometimes archaic and austere tonal language, he portrays their timid falling in love, forced separation, and happy reunion. Harpist Marie-Pierre Langlamet is the soloist in Germaine Tailleferre’s impressionistic and virtuosic Concertino. Conductor Juanjo Mena opens the evening with the Ramuntcho Overture by Gabriel Pierné.
