French dream music with a fine sense of sound is the focus of this concert. Traces of impressionism and orientalism can be found in the composition cycle “Trois Femmes de Légende” by Mel Bonis, once a pupil of Gabriel Fauré: a work full of profound, pictorial inspiration and its inherent impressionistic descriptive character tinged with orientalisms. Maurice Ravel’s musical fairy tale collection “Ma mère l’oye” also dares to take a look at past times and distant worlds between Orient and Occident. Fauré’s lyrical Ballade for piano and orchestra, played by the internationally performing pianist Katharina Treutler, is followed by César Franck’s first and only symphony, which ingeniously combines French charm with absolute music à la Beethoven.
