Orchestre de chambre de Paris & Thomas Hengelbrock at Paris Philharmonic
A nostalgic, raw classical night.
The dramatic intensity of Egmont and the expressive power of the Fifth Symphony: Beethoven, at his most ardent, dialogues with Poulenc in one of his greatest achievements, distinguished by its solemnity and richness of timbres. The Overture to Egmont, taken from the incidental music inspired by Goethe's play, was an immediate success. Symphony No. 5, completed two years earlier, adopts a similar impetuous style. The Organ Concerto reveals a secret side of Poulenc, notable for the variety of its sonorities, from the most suave to the most celestial.
