A mesmerizing evening of chamber music will take place at Palazzetto Bru Zane on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, with the concert titled “Made to Measure“. This special event, part of the “Cycle Cello, the Soul of Romanticism” series, will feature the extraordinary talents of Aurélien Pascal on cello and Josquin Otal on piano.
The program for the night includes a rich selection of romantic works composed for cello and piano, showcasing a perfect blend of emotion, virtuosity, and technical mastery. The repertoire includes:
- Camille Chevillard: Sonata for Cello and Piano
- Louis Dumas: Lament
- Jean Huré: Sonata for Cello and Piano in F sharp minor
- Charles Lecocq: Two Pieces for Cello and Piano
The relationship between the composer and performer is central to these pieces, each written with the capabilities and styles of virtuoso cellists in mind. Camille Chevillard, the son of a cellist, naturally understood the nuances of the instrument, while composers like Louis Dumas, Charles Lecocq, and Jean Huré worked closely with renowned cellists of their time, such as Raymond Marthe, Fernand Pollain, and Pablo Casals. These collaborations resulted in beautifully crafted pieces that not only highlight the technical prowess of the cellists but also reflect the deep romanticism and expressiveness of the era.
Join us for this intimate musical journey, where history and artistry converge to bring the soulful voice of the cello to life.
