Jean-Claude Casadesus<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nA French evening in the spirit of refinement, colours, moods \u2013 and pathos. The Debussy work, L\u2019Apr\u00e8s-midi d\u2019un Faune<\/em>, heralds the birth of impressionism and the two Saint-Sa\u00ebns compositions, the Cello Concerto in A minor<\/em> and the hugely popular Organ Symphony<\/em>, represent romanticism \u2013 the latter of which is heavily influenced by Liszt. It is not just the composers who are French: so are the conductor and the soloist. On the podium for the third evening of the Kocsis season ticket is the 90-year-old Jean-Claude Casadesus, one of the doyens of the international community of conductors, while the soloist of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra is Aur\u00e9lien Pascal, who is still considered a young virtuoso of the cello despite his considerable international success.<\/p>\nThe Casadesus family is a hugely important dynasty of French musicians that has gifted European musical culture with a number of outstanding performers and composers. Boasting a remarkably rich repertoire, Jean-Claude Casadesus (1935) is without doubt one of the most experienced members of the international community of conductors. He will be aged 90 when he conducts the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra for the third evening of the Kocsis season ticket. In the course-, of his work, he has always dedicated a great deal of attention to the music of his homeland, so it should come as no surprise that we will hear French works on this occasion, too.<\/p>\n
The first item on the programme is Debussy\u2019s symphonic prelude L\u2019Apr\u00e8s-midi d\u2019un Faune<\/em>, which, although written during Brahms\u2019s lifetime in 1894, is one of the first striking examples of music\u2019s modern age. It is worth noting that Saint-Sa\u00ebns\u2019s famous Organ Symphony<\/em>, a romantic work to its core, was composed just eight years previously. The concerto to be heard between the two symphonic opuses is the Cello Concerto in A minor<\/em>, also penned by the composer of Samson and Delilah<\/em>. The work may be less popular than the two orchestral pieces, but it is a respected fixture on the cello repertoire. Its performer, a compatriot of the conductor, is the 30-year-old Aur\u00e9lien Pascal, who has scored notable successes in international competitions in recent years.<\/p>\n

He also had an outstanding success at the head of the St Petersburg Philharmonic in two programmes including Strauss' Ein Heldenleben and Bizet's Symphony in C, which lead the musicians of the orchestra to write to their Music Director requesting that Casadesus be asked to return. More recently he conducted the Berliner Sinfonie Orchester in a programme including Sheherazade by both Ravel and Rimsky-Korsakov, and returns to the orchestra in April 2004.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHis success with the Philadelphia Orchestra in March 1999 led to an invitation to conduct the Orchestra again in November 2001. In the same season he also conducted the Utah Symphonies and Montreal Symphony where he will return in July 2002.\r\nJean-Claude Casadesus is also an active operatic conductor, from Lille, Paris, Brussels, Geneva, Barcelona and Antwerp through the major festivals, including Aix-en-Provence and Orange. Werther, Carmen, Tales of Hoffman, le Bal Masqu\u00e9, Cosi fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Dido and Aeneas, Pelleas and Melisande are the operas he has most frequently conducted, in addition to lesser known works such as Dargomyjski's Le Convive de Pierre. Maestro Casadesus recently conducted Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann at the Flanders Opera and Massenet's Werther at the Geneva Opera, both of which he recorded for Naxos.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nJean-Claude Casadesus has made numerous recordings with the Lille National Orchestra for Harmonia Mundi, Forlane, Erato and EMI. Mahler symphonies 1, 2, 4 and 5, Bizet's Clovis et Clotilde with Montserrat Caballe and two Mahler \/ Wagner albums with Jos\u00e9 van Dam are just a few of their recordings which have won recognition and awards from the Acad\u00e9mie du Disque Francais, the SACEM and the Nouvelle Acad\u00e9mie du Disque. He now records for the NAXOS label which has released his recording of Massenet Werther, Debussy Pelleas et Melisande, St Saens Symphony n\u00b03, Poulenc Concerto with organ and Berlioz L'Enfance du Christ, all of which have received outstanding praise from both the public and the press.{:}","post_title":"{:hu}Jean-Claude Casadesus{:}{:en}Jean-Claude Casadesus{:}","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jean-claude-casadesus","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-03-31 08:00:36","post_modified_gmt":"2025-03-31 08:00:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/?post_type=artists&p=86624","menu_order":0,"post_type":"artists","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"karmester_2":false,"hazigazda":null,"muvek":[],"muvek_feluldefinialasa":false,"muvekrol_reszletesen":null,"is_muvekrol_reszletesen_en":false,"kozr_szemelyek":[],"muveszekrol_reszletesen":null,"is_muveszekrol_reszletesen_en":false,"kozr_szemelyek_feluldefinialasa":"","kozr_intezmenyek":[],"gombtipus":"link","jegyarak":"HUF 11,000, HUF 9,500, HUF 7,500, HUF 6,000, HUF 4,500","jegyvasarlas_gomb":"","elkeltek_a_jegyek":false,"youtube_id":"","old_id":"","hivatkozas_gomb_szovege":"Buy ticket","hivatkozas_gomg_url-je":"https:\/\/nfz.jegy.hu\/program\/debussy-saint-saens-jean-claude-casadesus-kocsis3-173870\/1260533","slides":false},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/concerts\/124329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/concerts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/concerts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
