Ravel & Gershwin

Frauenthal Center

Walton’s First Symphony was a landmark of English composition and represents the peak of his symphonic thinking. Its turbulent emotions and high-voltage energy were the fruit of tempestuous events surrounding Walton at the time. After an eloquent, dramatic first movement, a stinging, malicious Scherzo and a truly melancholic slow movement, the finale is totally different in outlook – an almost Elgarian ceremonial jubilation, as if a cloud has lifted. The Concerto for the Left Hand displays a great deal of resourcefulness and originality on Ravel’s part. Unfolding in a single movement in three sections, dark and powerful, it is so full of illusion and texture that the solo part rarely gives the slightest hint that a mere single hand is involved. The exquisite orchestral scoring leans toward the rich, lower pitches which lends it a rather sombre hue and an apt heroic grandeur. In the overture to his only comic opera, Wagner skilfully combines the main themes associated with the mastersingers and their apprentices.

„Ich hatte keinen Plan B“, erzählte Thibaut Garcia kürzlich in einem Interview. Genau das war der Gedanke des damals 16-Jährigen, als sein Gitarrenlehrer ihm erstmals eröffnete, dass man am Pariser Konservatorium das Saiteninstrument studieren könne. Bevor Garcia, 1994 in Toulouse geboren, die Konzertsäle erobert hat, galten Gitarrenkonzerte nämlich noch als Rarität auf den Spielplänen. Er bewarb sich, spielte und – siegte. Neben einem Studienplatz gewann er 2015 den Ersten Preis bei der Guitar Foundation of America – ein Meilenstein auf dem Weg des jungen Musikers an die Weltspitze. Seither zählt Thibaut Garcia nicht nur zu den erfolgreichsten Gitarren-Solisten, sondern setzt sich auch für die Wertschätzung seines Instruments in der Klassikwelt ein. Vom Barock über Klassik und Romantik bis hin zur zeitgenössischen Musik – bei seinen internationalen Konzerten präsentiert er die ganze Vielfalt des Gitarren-Repertoires.

Schumann's C major Fantasie is one of the best loved of all piano works. Balakirev's Islamey was at one time considered the most difficult of all piano pieces 'and is still one of the knucklebusters'. Ravel is said to have composed Gaspard de la Nuit to be even more difficult! This programme is a veritable mountain for a pianist to climb, but with the leading French pianist of today we are in safe hands and can sit back and enjoy the ride.
