Varois music lovers are lucky. The season of symphonic concerts of the Toulon opera house will open Friday September 17 at 8 p.m. with a very promising concert. Starring the young prodigy violinist, the South Korean Kim Bomsori in two vertiginous works by Wisniewski and Franz Wasman (fantasy on the themes of Carmen). They will be surrounded by the two Bizet Suites Arlésienne and you Poem from the Rhône by Maurice Emmanuel.
A young prodigy from Asia.
At 12, Bomsori gave Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto in concert! She studied at the Julliard School with Sylvia Rosenberg and Ronald Copes. In 2010, she won the Jean Sibelius International Competition, as well as the Sendai International Competition where she also received the Audience Award. The following year, she won the China International Competition, then was awarded the 2012 Joseph Joachim International Competition in Hanover. In 2013, she won the 2nd Prize at the ARD International Competition in Munich, as well as several special prizes. Bomsori Kim has performed with numerous orchestras such as the Bayerischen Rundfunks Symphonieorchester, the NDR Radiophilharmonie Hanover, the Finnish Radio Orchestra, the Seoul Chamber Orchestra and the Münchener Kammerorchester. In 2015, she made her debut with the KBS Symphony Orchestra. I do not know by what miracle it will occur Friday in Toulon.
Endowed with flawless virtuosity and great sensitivity, one can follow his ascent on the various social networks and music platform. In Toulon she will play one of the most beautiful violins, an 18th century original by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini.
The Toulon Opera Orchestra will be conducted by the young Estonian conductor
, all in blond in the service of a score to discover the poem of the Rhône by Emmanuel and the two suites of the stage music by Arlésienne by Bizet.
And came the saxophone
On November 10, 1872, the premiere took place at the Cirque d’Hiver under the direction of Jules Pasdeloup. Daudet’s play was a failure because of its pessimistic darkness. It ends in suicide with the famous line ” You see that we can die of love! ».
On the other hand musically it was one of the rare great successes of Bizet. In 1879, four years after the composer’s death, his friend, Ernest Guiraud, in turn adapted a new suite on stage music numbers, also adding a minuet borrowed from the third act of La Jolie Fille de Perth, opera by 1866 after Walter Scott. And above all he re-orchestrated the famous kings march, which was to become one of the hits of French symphonism.
The two Suites are constructed like small symphonies from the classical period, in four movements. To adapt to the concert format, they do not follow the chronology of Daudet’s piece. The traditional symphony orchestra is enriched with the very latest instrumental creation: the alto saxophone. Bizet, knowing well the problems of certain orchestras to have a complete staff noted on the score “failing” (written in smaller notes) In case of absence of the saxophone. The saxophone solo can then be performed by the first or second clarinets.
Short ! with sax or without sax, this atypical concert is interesting in more than one way.
