On Thursday, October 24, 2024, “Time Regained”, an evocative chamber music concert as part of the “Cycle Cello, the Soul of Romanticism” series will take place at Palazzetto Bru Zane. The concert will feature the exceptional talents of Miriam Prandi on cello and Gabriele Carcano on piano, offering a captivating exploration of the French musical landscape at the turn of the 20th century.
The evening’s program includes:
- Claude Debussy: Sonate pour violoncelle et piano.
- Nadia Boulanger: Trois Pièces pour violoncelle et piano.
- César Franck: Sonate pour violon et piano (transcribed for cello and piano).
César Franck’s Sonata for Violin and Piano left an indelible mark on chamber music, deeply inspiring Marcel Proust’s literary masterpiece In Search of Lost Time, where a “little phrase” from the fictional Vinteuil Sonata becomes a symbol of soul-stirring beauty. Nadia Boulanger, born in the same year as Franck’s sonata premiere, continued this legacy, balancing Franck’s influence with Debussy’s revolutionary approach. Reflecting on the contrast between tradition and innovation, Boulanger famously remarked, “Debussy was already Debussy, while Brahms was still Brahms”, underscoring Debussy’s profound impact on the French school of music.
Don’t miss this evening of emotional depth and artistic brilliance, as these exquisite works are brought to life by Prandi and Carcano. The concert will be followed by a toast, providing a perfect opportunity to celebrate a night of timeless music and refined elegance.
