Fauré	Pelléas et Mélisande
Mozart	Piano Concerto No. 20, K466
Debussy	La mer
Ravel	La valse

One of four concerts in the 2011 Piano Season

Some of the most descriptive works in the classical repertoire paint musical pictures in this concert. Fauré’s suite of music telling the story of Pelléas and Mélisande’s doomed love opens the programme followed by Debussy’s La mer conjuring the sea in all its varied moods. Ravel’s La valse describes whirling dancers in a waltz that, despite its classical form and references to the imperial court, somehow seems to show the changing world of the early twentieth century and implies a more decadent undertone. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 balances the twentieth century flavour of the programme.
