大象传媒 Philharmonic in Stoke-on-Trent
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic, conductor Ben Gernon and pianist Juan Perez Floristan take us on a journey from Paris to Vienna with music by Ravel, Offenbach, Svendsen and Beethoven.
Live from the Victoria Hall in Hanley
Presented by Tom McKinney
"It looks amusing", Wagner apparently commented as he looked over Svendsen's shoulder at the manuscript of "Carnival in Paris", and its colourful Berlioz-inspired orchestration drew compliments from Grieg at its premiere. Entertainment is the focus of Offenbach's operetta "La Belle H茅l猫ne" too; an irreverent and witty sideways glance at society inspired by Greek mythology. Juan Perez Floristan joins the orchestra for Ravel's sparkling Piano Concerto in G. "The music of a concerto should, in my opinion be light-hearted and brilliant and not aim at profundity or dramatic effect" Ravel said; in this jazz-infused concerto we enjoy rich melody and infectious rhythm. We move from Paris to Vienna for the second half of the concert and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, music imbued with personal experience, full of profundity and extending the musical language of its time to create genuine drama.
