SCHØNWANDT AND ELSA DREISIG
Copenhagen Phil receives a visit from one of Denmark's most sought-after conductors when Michael Schønwandt leads French masterpieces - and not least from the Danish/French star soprano Elsa Dreisig, who has her daily routine on the international opera scene and with the world's leading orchestras.

In his long career, Michael Schønwandt has conducted, recorded and meant more to Danish music than anyone else. His career is firmly on track as a recognized and sought-after conductor in international concerts and opera houses, especially due to his work as chief conductor of the opera in Montpellier for many years. Here he has got French music in his blood, which we can lean back in the seats and enjoy this evening in the concert hall - where Denmark meets France.

Elsa Dreisig is the soprano shooting star with whom the whole world wants to make music. And the young French/Danish world name has already received both the Crown Prince Couple's Culture Prize and won 1st prize in the international Plácido Domingo Operalia competition. Now she is back at Copenhagen Phil as a soloist in French Berlioz's wonderful song cycle about love, longing and warm feelings in the balmy summer evening, Les Nuits d'eté .

Both Ravel's Ma Mère l'Oye and Debussy's Children's Corner were originally written for piano. Ravel himself managed to rewrite his adventurous and image-creating suite into a colorful orchestral work. Debussy's child-friendly and charming piano work has been given orchestral life by the Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen with his superb instrumentation.

 

The concert is supported by the Danish Research Foundation.

SCHØNWANDT OG ELSA DREISIG
Copenhagen Phil får besøg af én af Danmarks mest efterspurgte dirigenter, når Michael Schønwandt står i spidsen for franske mesterværker – og ikke mindst for den dansk/franske stjernesopran Elsa Dreisig, der har sin daglige gang på den internationale operascene og hos verdens førende orkestre.

I sin store karriere har Michael Schønwandt dirigeret, indspillet og betydet mere for dansk musik end nogen anden. Han har karrieren solidt på skinner som en anerkendt og efterspurgt dirigent i internationale koncert­ og operahuse særligt også i kraft af sit virke som mangeårig chefdirigent på operaen i Montpellier. Her har han fået den franske musik i blodet, hvilket vi kan læne os tilbage i sæderne og nyde denne aften i koncertsalen – hvor Danmark møder Frankrig.

Elsa Dreisig er sopranstjerneskuddet, som hele ver­den vil musicere med. Og det unge fransk/danske verdensnavn har da også allerede modtaget både Kronprinsparrets Kulturpris og vundet 1. prisen i den internationale Plácido Domingo Operalia­ konkurrence. Nu er hun tilbage hos Copenhagen Phil som solist i franske Berlioz’ vidunderlige sangcyklus om kærlighed, længsler og varme følelser i den lune sommeraften, Les Nuits d’eté.

Både Ravels Ma Mère l’Oye og Debussys Children’s Corner er oprindeligt skrevet for klaver. Ravel formåede selv at omskrive sin eventyrlige og bil­ledskabende suite til et farverigt orkesterværk. Debussys børnevenlige og charmerende klaver­ værk har den danske komponist Hans Abraham­sen til gengæld pustet orkestralt liv i med sin suveræne instrumentation.
