Pahud & Le Sage at L'auditori de Barcelona
About the Event
On 16 December 2014, L’Auditori presented the global flute phenomenon Emmanuel Pahud in Barcelona. The concert was a resounding musical success in the city and left both the public and critics entranced. Pahud, a soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and considered one of the best flautists in the world, returns to the Chamber Season accompanied by his preferred pianist, the magnificent Éric Le Sage, with a repertoire based on the tradition of Germanic romanticism. The duo will perform Mozart’s joyful and wistful Sonata K.296, arranged for the flute by Pahud himself Variations on “Trockne Blumen” (Dried Flowers) from The Beautiful Maid of the Mill series in which Franz Schubert uses this song to create a delicate piece with great technical complexity the famous Fantasiestücke by Robert Schumann, that contain all the magic and mystery of the inner world of the composer in three works of tender and intense romanticism and the ambitious Violin Sonata in F major by Mendelssohn, published in 1953 after the violinist Yehudi Menuhin completed the first movement that Mendelssohn had left unfinished.
