The OUM and Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé

Sun 12 Nov 2023 • 03:00 pm classique
Maison symphonique - Montréal 48$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

The Orchestre de l’Université de Montréal opens its season on a brilliant note with a concert that traverses three centuries of music. First the 21st century, with a premiere by Snežana Nešić, winner of the 2023 OUM Concerto Competition, then the 20th, with excerpts from Ravel’s ballet Daphnis et Chloé. That work, in which the composer evokes the “Greece of his dreams,” was premiered by the renowned Ballets Russes, with Nijinsky in the role of Daphnis. The shimmering colours of the orchestra and the delicacy of the writing imbue this score with a tantalizingly sensual poetry. As for the 19th century, that will be illustrated by one of its most famous representatives, Felix Mendelssohn, who wrote a vibrant Concerto for Two Pianos in order to perform it with his sister, Fanny.

L’Orchestre de l’Université de Montréal ouvre brillamment sa saison avec un concert qui parcourt trois siècles de musique. D’abord le 21e siècle, avec une création de Snežana Nešić, lauréate du Concours de composition de l’OUM 2023, puis le 20e avec des extraits du ballet Daphnis et Chloé de Ravel. Cette œuvre, dans laquelle le compositeur évoque la «  Grèce de ses rêves  », fut créée par les célèbres Ballets russes, avec Nijinski dans le rôle de Daphnis. Les couleurs chatoyantes de l’orchestre et la finesse de l’écriture teintent cette partition d’une poésie délicatement sensuelle. Quant au 19e siècle, il sera illustré par l’un de ses plus fameux représentants, Félix Mendelssohn, qui écrivit un Concerto pour deux pianos débordant de vitalité afin de l’interpréter avec sœur Fanny.
