Noseda conducts Liszt, Bruch and Respighi
Gianandrea Noseda conducts the Orchestre de Paris in a program of Liszt, Bruch and Respighi. It opens with Franz Liszt “Les Préludes,” inspired by Alphonse de Lamartine´s poem about an artist who finds himself after having gone through the turbulences of life. The center piece of the evening is Max Bruch’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra no. 1, which is dedicated to Joseph Joachim, who had a hand in finishing and revising it. The concert finishes with two symphonic poems, which do not strictly obey the classical form and are based to some extent on a literary or pictorial idea. Rimsky-Korsakov’s one-time student Respighi was especially receptive to visual impressions, as his “Fontane di Roma” and “Pini de Roma” show. This performance was recorded at the Salle Pleyel, Paris, in 2014.
