For this second meeting of Arlucs Symphonicthe Cannes National Orchestra makes a detour to the East with a concert dedicated to Mozart and Brahms, the composer in the spotlight this season.
Under the baton of Benjamin Levy, the musicians of the orchestra will accompany the Australian pianist Kristian Bezuidenhout, specialist in the Mozart repertoire in the famous. “We will never be able to do anything like this” are the words of Beethoven about the last movement of Concerto for piano and orchestra no. 24 by Mozart. Composed in parallel with Concerto n°23shortly before the opera’s completion The Marriage of Figarothese three works have in common the desire to reconcile virtuosity and depth of expression.
To complete this program, the Cannes National Orchestra will perform the Pfirst Symphony by Brahms. Almost a century later, in 1876, the Pfirst Symphony by Brahms is finally revealed to the public. The composer has been thinking about it for twenty years, making sketches and reworking numerous passages. The creation was a success, the work was given abroad and the criticism was laudatory: “This symphony testifies to an energetic will, logical musical thinking, a greatness of architectonic faculties, and a technical mastery such as no living composer possesses” writes Eduard Hanslick in the Viennese press.
