Conductor:

Jean-Claude Casadesus

Featuring:

cello Aurélien Pascal
Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra

Debussy

Prélude à l'Après-midi d'un faune, L. 86

Saint-Saëns

Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33

Saint-Saëns

Symphony No. 3 in C minor (“Organ Symphony”), Op. 78

A French evening in the spirit of refinement, colours, moods – and pathos. The De-bussy work, L’Après-midi d’un Faune, heralds the birth of impressionism and the two Saint-Saëns compositions, the Cello Concerto in A minor and the hugely popular Organ Symphony, represent romanticism – the latter of which is heavily influenced by Liszt. It is not just the composers who are French: so are the conductor and the soloist. On the podium for the third evening of the Kocsis season ticket is the 90-year-old Jean-Claude Casadesus, one of the doyens of the international community of conductors, while the soloist of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra is Aurélien Pascal, who is still considered an up-and-coming young virtuoso of the cello despite his considerable international success.

Presented by: Hungarian National Philharmonic
