Thibaudet and Bringuier with Liszt 2. piano cncerto



Jean-Yves Thibaudet

PARIS: Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France played Franz Liszt 2nd

. Pianoconcerto with Jean-Yves Thibaudet as brilliant pianosoloist at Salle Playel March 22nd
. In addition opened the orchestra with Antonin Dvorak´s festive Carneval Ouverture, and ended up with Béla Bartók´s less festive, but still interesting Concerto for Orchester. But it was like opening with the two desserts before the break.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet was playing with all the big emotional range, from the magnificent powerful over the light elegance virtuoso to the great circumspection feeling, a lot of beautiful details and variations, and excellent musicality, which was closely followed up in the cooperation with the conductior and through him with the orchestra

. The entire spectrum is represented in Thibaudets interpretation, and he gives all in the performance. Very convincing soloist. The orchestra was following very good and tight up, very sensitively conducted by Lionel Bringuier. Its charms is in the third part a metamorphosis of the opening theme, played by solo cello while accompanied by the piano, showing the influence of Italian bel canto on Liszt’s work. A great solo cello (Eric Levionnois )cooperated beautifully and sensitive musically sometimes nearly like chamber music way in parts with the piano soloist
. The piano sound was elegantly taken over by the orchestra, and the oposite way, so i had the eccho feeling, that i suppose was Franz Liszt meaning.  The march in 5th part is a masterstroke that demonstrates the full emotional range of thematic transformation. Wonderful.

Dvorak´s Carneval Ouverture is a brilliant opening iece, and also reminding of the just ended Carneval periode around in the world. The concert overture Carnival (Czech: Karneval, koncertní ouvertura), Op. 92, B. 169, was written in 1891. It is part of a “Nature, Life and Love” trilogy of overtures written by Dvořák, forming the second “Life” part. The other two parts of the trilogy are In Nature´s Realm, Op. 91 (“Nature”) and Othello, Op. 93 (“Love”).

Lionel Bringuier, inspiring conductor

Béla Bartók´s less festive,  Concerto for Orchester ended this evenings concert. It is a five-movement work for orchestra composed  in 1943. It is one of his best-known, most popular and most accessible works. The score is inscribed “15 August – 8 October 1943”, and it premiered on December 1, 1944 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Serge Koussevitzky in Boston Symphony Hall. It was a great success and has been regularly performed since. It is perhaps the best-known of a number of pieces that have the apparently contradictory title Concerto for Orchestra. This is in contrast to the conventional concerto form, which features a solo instrument with orchestral accompaniment. Bartók said that he called the piece a concerto rather than a symphony because of the way each section of instruments is treated in a soloistic and virtuosic way. It was interesting to get this number as the ending number, still it was, for me, a less interesting number to finish the evening with.
