Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France / Myung-Whun Chung

Drame

A passionate programme from Orchestre Pasdeloup, with an anthology of 19th- and 20th-century works and a new piece by Béchara El-Khoury, with soloists François Dumont on piano and Arnaud Nuvolone on violin.

Lucas Debargue

With a nod to the prelude and variation forms—a fondness for which Beethoven and Chopin share with Fauré—fellow pianist and composer Lucas Debargue gathers this trio of keyboard geniuses in a programme boasting two major sonatas as its main act.

Orchestre de Paris / Karina Canellakis

The mischievous charm of Janáček's opera-pantomime, the apparently improvised virtuosity demanded of Tchaikovsky's cello, not forgetting the nobility and grandeur of one of Beethoven's most beautiful pages… a program that’s sure to please!
