Symphonic Cycle of the Gran Teatre del Liceu Orchestra
Commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of Maurice Ravel's Birth
The subtlety of representing a fleeting impression at a specific moment is the core concept of the impressionist music program presented by Josep Pons in this evening. A music that seeks this sonic image, similar to the French painting of the time, with the intent to convey the mood and atmosphere of a moment to the listener.
The creation and development of this musical semantics is brought to life by the internationally acclaimed artistic duo Perianes – Pons.
The suggestion, the sense of elasticity and rubato, and the experimentation with timbre highlight the importance of the adjective rather than the noun. New sound effects that made a definitive impact on the world of music, which we can recognize in the works presented in this session.
While Debussy is the most original creator of powerful music that transports us to spaces of antiquity through dreams with a misty, distant, and unpredictable music, Ravel is a bold neoclassical composer with expressionist traits, a master of orchestration, and a meticulous craftsman of formal perfection with great expressiveness at once. A delicate session where this dialogue between Debussy and Ravel will result in a subtle interplay between intelligence and the hidden emotions of the heart.
