CANCELLED because of Coronavirus - Sheherazade and Patricia Kopatchinskaya

Programme

  • Ravel Rhapsody espagnole
  • Coll Violin Concerto
  • Rimsky-Korsakov Sheherazade

Gustavo Gimeno and daredevil Patricia Kopatchinskaja perform a new violin concerto by Spaniard Francisco Coll. A delightful concert, also because of the exotic sounds of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade.

New violin concerto by Francisco Coll
Englishman Thomas Adès is not a teacher. Yet the composer/pianist whose work has been heard many times at the Saturday Matinee made an exception for the Spaniard Francisco Coll. Adès recognized in him a strikingly individual and unusual spirit and took him on as his first and, for the time being, only pupil. Coll has since stood on his own two feet, won various prizes and written extremely virtuoso music for orchestra. Reason enough for the NTR Saturday Matinee to put him in the limelight and pair him with an equally unusual mind: Collès wrote a violin concerto for violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, one of the greatest daredevils in classical music.

Exoticism in Sheherazade and Ravel's Spanish Rhapsody
The Sheherazade in the masterpiece of the same name by the Russian and traveler Rimsky-Korsakov pops up in an ever-changing role (and what a wonderful violin solo in the orchestra!). Spain even sounds somewhat exotic in the Rapsodie espagnole by the half-Spaniard Maurice Ravel.
