Few works are more passionate and musically fascinating than Bizet’s Carmen. The plot depicts the excesses of love with Spanish motifs, which were wildly exotic for the French mentality of the time. In the version performed by the Barcelona Symphonic Band, these motifs enhance the impact of the piece, even if they do not follow the narrative of the story.

This suite – a compilation of some of the most attractive themes and passages – will be preceded by Cap Kennedy, a work in eleven episodes that Serge Lancen dedicated to the Apollo 11 astronauts. The concert also includes Reflets for alto saxophone and wind orchestra, with Vincent David, the composer, as the soloist.

English

Pocas obras son más hirientes y musicalmente fascinantes que Carmen de Bizet. La trama escenifica la pasión amorosa con la presencia de motivos hispánicos, que para la mentalidad francesa de la época suenan descaradamente exóticos y que, en la versión interpretada por la Banda Municipal de Barcelona, amplificarán aún más su carácter impactante, aunque no sigan la narración de la historia.

Antes de escuchar esta suite –compiladora de algunos de los temas y pasajes más atractivos– se habrá podido descubrir Cape Kennedy, una obra que Serge Lancen dedicó a los astronautas del Apolo XI y que cuenta precisamente con 11 episodios. Asimismo, se ha programado en este concierto Reflets para saxófono alto y orquesta de viento. Vincent David, el compositor, asumirá la parte solista.
