Stéphane Denève

conductor

Piotr Anderszewski

piano

Fauré

Pelléas et Mélisande

Mozart

Piano Concerto No. 20, K466

Debussy

La mer

Ravel

La valse

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.
