Description
«Finis. R.I.P.»: so wrote Edward Elgar underneath the conclusion of his Cello Concerto. Completed and premiered in 1919, it is probably his most personal work, the one most closely connected to the composer’s own life story. In Grafenegg, the young cellist Julia Hagen will dig deep into this moving concerto’s expressivity. Things will be no less expressive after the interval, when the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France plays two central works from the French repertoire: the symphonic depictions of nature in Debussy’s «La mer» and Ravel’s strictly planned-out, emotionally overwhelming «Boléro». Standing on the podium is Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla: the Lithuanian conductor has long been considered one of the outstanding figures of her generation, most recently gaining great acclaim conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the Salzburg Festival.
