Imagine a gothic cathedral looming out of the mists. Picture an impressionist landscape beneath pastel skies. And now think of Belle-Époque Paris in all its ritzy, raucous colour. That’s a very rough idea of what it’s like to hear César Franck’s towering Symphony in D minor – for decades, one of the world’s most popular classics. Our Paris-born guest conductor Bertrand de Billy puts it back up where it belongs tonight: the summit of a Gallic flavoured concert that begins with Ravel’s haunting evocation of a vanished world and stars the phenomenal Danielle de Niese in Chausson’s ravishing Poème: a flood-tide of sensuous beauty.
