Valses nobles et sentimentales: Ravel, Saint‐Saëns, Plasson, Lortie

О событии

Indulge yourself in the the soundworld of the French Romantic.

For French conductor Michel Plasson, Ravel is a composer who does not seek to send a message, merely to convey a sensual experience. His Valses nobles et sentimentales are just that: emotions in musical form.

Afterwards, Canadian virtuoso Louis Lortie performs Saint‐Saëns 5th piano concerto, written on a trip to Egypt.

The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra also perform Franck's Symphony in D minor, a piece which was scorned at its premiere, but has come to be admired and take its place in the repertoire.
