Stuttgarter Philharmoniker : Hommage à Tchaikovski, Ravel et Mozart

The Auditorium, the emblematic room of La Seine Musicale with its layout at 360 degrees and in the vineyard, is the ideal setting to host Les Grandes uvres, a program that invites great orchestras, choirs and intimate recitals. Each season the orchestra resides at La Seine Musicale, Insula orchestra, as well as major French and international orchestras perform alongside soloists and emerging artists who make the news of classical music.

Presentation

Magdalene Ho, on the piano, and Ruth Reinhardt, on the chopstick, have conceived a fascinating journey with the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra: faithful to their singular approach to the repertoire, they have brought together an exciting trio of composers, combining French refinement with Russian romanticism through the divine Mozart.

The incredible instinct of the young pianist and the imagination of the German conductor, a rising star with an already solid reputation, revisit the repertoire with passion and intelligence, and explore all the sound and expressive qualities of the works.

The Tombeau de Couperin by Ravel, a tribute to the luminous elegance of eighteenth century music, resonates a resolutely sensual harmonic depth. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 13 demonstrates a perfect balance between lyricism and theatricality, the piano interacting with the orchestra with naturalness and fantasy, seeking to please both discerning and non-acquainted musicians. Finally, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 is crossed by the implacable theme of fate until the final, dazzling triumph.
