Scottish Chamber Orchestra Season 2008/09 Paris in Music
Friday 14th November 2008, 7.30pm
City Halls : Grand Hall
These three works capture the spirit of Paris between the wars – the jazz age was in full swing, but wistful nostalgia was also in the air.
Fauré and Stravinsky look back to the 18th century and offer very different interpretations of the Commedia dell’Arte. Fauré is all moonlit enchantment, while Stravinsky goes for laughs, and isn’t above blowing a raspberry to get them.
Ravel’s concerto simply glitters: a virtuosic tour de force. All in all, a fine entertainment from start to finish.
