An Italian orchestra, a Franco-Belgian cellist, a Finnish orchestra conductor and an international program marked the first master concert of the season at the Bregenz Festspielhaus: the Belgian Camille Thomas, from Paris, performed the concerto for cello by Edouard Lalo, a Frenchman of Spanish origin. Mikko Franck, the 39-year-old first guest conductor of the Orchestra dell & 39; Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia Román, recorded with his orchestra the dramatic paintings of Tchaikovsky and Sibelius tonics.
Like many of his colleagues, Mikko Franck, who started playing violin and studying sheet music early on, left the Jorma Panula Squad Factory at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. Convincing for clarity in movement, striking technique and sound imagination, we've already got used to the fact that the man struggling with back problems is heading in while sitting down , climbs the podium several times and acts directly in front of the violas and the cellos. In Tchaikovsky's whimsical opening "Romeo and Juliet", he mixes the dark sounds of introduction to the wind, which anticipate the tragic end, with long-lasting melodies and effective increases.
Attractive soloist
Curtain layer for expressive cellist Camille Thomas, aged 30, dressed in a red sequined dress and a transparent tulle skirt over dangerously high shoes. In the colorful cello concerto and Edouard Lalo's luminous fanfares, light melodies of scented folk songs and southern joie de vivre merge, whether French or Spanish, inspired by the composer's origins, or Italian after the sparkling finale of Saltarello. Camille Thomas brings his magnificent Gagliano cello to sing and shine in the highest position possible, becoming a charismatic narrator in an inspired dialogue with the orchestra. She bids farewell to the Catalan folk song "The song of birds", edited by Pablo Casals, in which birds sing about the birth of Christ: as transparent as they are intense in their expression.
Rich rope culture
As the first guest conductor of the traditional orchestra, Mikko Franck also gives the music of his homeland to the Roman orchestra. After leaving Lalo's soloist in mind and carefully integrating the orchestra, the conductor and orchestra plunged deep into the dark sounds of Sibelius' second symphony. Here, Mikko Franck developed the rich culture of the strings, accentuated the slowness of the movement to reach a piercing intensity, ghostly whirlwinds in the third movement changed in the final in a big rise with radiating fanfares over the ropes. As a leader "plays" in his own way with the orchestra, we finally discover him in the famous "Waltz sad", in which strings, a flute and finally the timbales seem to play for their lives.
