Dresden Staatskapelle
Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden in Faure鈥檚 Pelleas and Melisande Prelude, Ravel鈥檚 Piano Concerto, with Daniil Trifonov, and Schoenberg鈥檚 Pelleas and Melisande.
Fiona Talkington presents a concert given by Staatskapelle Dresden and conductor Christian Thielemann, recorded in Dresden in 2017.
The concert begins with the Prelude from Faure鈥檚 incidental music to Maurice Maeterlinck鈥檚 play 鈥淧elleas et Melisande鈥�. It was commissioned by Mrs Patrick Campbell for a London production in 1898, and reused material from earlier works to meet the tight deadline, also enlisting help from his pupil Charles Koechlin to complete the orchestration.
The orchestra is then joined by Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov for a performance of Ravel鈥檚 Piano Concerto in G, completed in 1931. Steeped in jazz, it鈥檚 considered one of the most impressive and influential concertos of the 20th Century.
During the interval we'll hear two chamber works by composers from the Second Viennese School 鈥� Alban Berg and Anton Webern.
In the second half of the concert, the orchestra continues the Maeterlinck theme, with a performance of Schoenberg鈥檚 symphonic poem 鈥淧elleas und Melisande鈥�, written in 1903. This is one of Schoenberg鈥檚 early tonal works, and has connections to scenes from the play.
To end the programme, we'll hear Dutch bassoon virtuoso Bram van Sambeek in recordings of Vivaldi, Astor Piazzolla and Chick Corea.
