Stéphane Denève Conductor
Gautier Capuçon Cello
Holmès “La Nuit et l’amour” (Interlude), from Ludus pro patria
Connesson Cello Concerto (U.S. premiere)
Berlioz Symphonie fantastique
In this enchanting program, French conductor Stéphane Denève and French cellist Gautier Capuçon make an indelible connection with composers uniquely identified with their country. Berlioz’s most famous work, his Symphonie fantastique, conjures up a dark tale of love and madness, while Connesson’s virtuosic Cello Concerto is a boldly exuberant, brilliantly colored work—the perfect showcase for a soloist of “impeccable taste, Romantic ardour, and technical aplomb” (The Telegraph).
Conducting this vivid program is former Principal Guest Conductor Stéphane Denève, hailed for his “fabulous ear, staggering mastery of his scores, and a buoyant, bubbly personality” so popular with audiences they’ve coined the term “Stéphanomania” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
