A French Fantasy at the Proms plus chamber music from the East Neuk Festival
Tom McKinney with a performance from pianist Boris Giltburg and the Pavel Haas Quartet at the East Neuk Festival plus a chance to hear Lili Boulanger, Ravel and Faure at the Proms.
Today’s Classical Live includes another chance to hear last Wednesday night’s Prom featuring soprano Golda Schultz, tenor Laurence Kilsby, baritone Thomas Mole, ѿý Symphony Chorus, ѿý Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Stéphane Denève. The twin peaks of tonight’s all-French programme are two masterpieces from Gabriel Fauré and Maurice Ravel, beginning with the former’s consolatory Requiem, a work whose clean lines, pure vocal textures and elegant orchestrations appear to propose a new philosophy of religion. Also in the programme, Ravel’s suite for the ballet Daphnis and Chloe, evoking an ancient world of pastoral delights. Plus two prayers by Lili Boulanger, who died tragically young at 24, and Fauré’s incidental music written for a London production of Maeterlinck’s Symbolist play Pelleas and Melisande complete the evening.
To start today’s Classical Live, there will be exclusively recorded performances from the East Neuk Festival in Fife. Pianist Boris Giltburg and the Pavel Haas Quartet join forces for music by Brahms.
