The subtle art of capturing a fleeting impression in a specific moment lies at the heart of the impressionist music program presented by Josep Pons. It is a music that, much like French painting of the era, seeks to create a sonic image, aiming to convey the mood and atmosphere of a single instant to the listener.
While Debussy stands as the original architect of powerful music that transports us to ancient spaces through dreamlike, misty, distant and unpredictable sounds, Ravel emerges as a neoclassical composer with expressionist touches—a master of orchestration and a meticulous craftsman of formal precision, yet full of great expressiveness. This delicate session offers a dialogue between Debussy and Ravel, resulting in a subtle interplay of intellect and hidden emotion.
