Henri Dutilleux, an important French composer of the latter half of the 20th century, was commissioned to write a cello concerto by Mstislav Rostropovich. A meditative and mystical piece with the atmosphere of night, the work was given the title Tout un monde lointain (A whole world away), and dazzles the listener with its refined orchestration and virtuosic solo passages. A curiosity from Dutilleux’s oeuvre will also be heard this evening, namely the Danse fantastique, which, despite being subs...equently removed by the composer from the catalogue of his works, has nevertheless not entirely sunk into obscurity. Claude Debussy belonged to the camp of composers who regarded the symphonic form as outdated. He was nevertheless captivated by the exotic, by pictorial qualities, and by the aesthetic law of “mysterious correspondences between nature and imagination.” A compelling example of these wonders couched in musical form is his work The Sea (La mer). With his composition Boléro, Maurice Ravel sought the possibility of adapting a musical theme without development, merely by gradually increasing the presence of the orchestra. The end result is a musical work which, beginning with an ostinato on snare drums, builds in a continuous crescendo coloured with a variously orchestrated, innumerable series of nuanced variations.
