Approved

Piano & Suite Symphonique: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, op. 58 Beethoven

Les interludes orchestraux que Debussy composa en hâte pour faciliter les changements de décors de son opéra Pelléas et Mélisande font partie de ses meilleures pages instrumentales. Ils donnèrent envie à plusieurs chefs d’orchestre amoureux de la partition de les amplifier en orchestrant des parties entières de l’opéra sous forme de suite symphonique. Après Leinsdorf, Constant, Monteux, Barbirolli et, plus récemment, Abbado et Altinoglu, Jonathan Nott présente son propre travail en première mondiale. Ce nouvel arrangement permettra d’entendre le drame grâce à une sélection minutieuse d’instruments reprenant les leitmotivs chantés par les divers personnages du drame de Maurice Maeterlinck. Pour son retour dans nos concerts, Maria João Pires a choisi le Concerto n° 4 de Beethoven qui mélange si bien le brio et la secrète révolte avec son andante contemplatif et lourd d’émotion.

The orchestral interludes that Debussy composed hastily to facilitate the changes of scenery in his opera Pelléas et Mélisande are among his best instrumental works. They made several conductors in love with the score want to amplify them by orchestrating entire parts of the opera in the form of a symphonic suite. After Leinsdorf, Constant, Monteux, Barbirolli and, more recently, Abbado and Altinoglu, Jonathan Nott presents his own work as a world premiere. This new arrangement will make it possible to hear the drama thanks to a careful selection of instruments taking up the leitmotifs sung by the various characters of Maurice Maeterlinck's drama. For her return to our concerts, Maria João Pires has chosen Beethoven's Concerto No. 4, which blends so well brio and secret revolt with its contemplative and emotional andante.
