Concert information
At the invitation of the Berliner Philharmoniker
Info
Both create music through the flow of air, and yet they could hardly be more different: the powerful, large organ and the intimate, modest flute. In this concert, Thomas Ospital, organist of St Eustache Church in Paris, and Emmanuel Pahud, principal flautist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, demonstrate how well the two instruments go together – with dreamy, often highly virtuosic works by Jehan Alain, Camille Saint-Saëns and Frank Martin. The full splendour of the organ’s sound comes into its own in transcriptions of Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre and Rachmaninov’s symphonic poem The Isle of the Dead.
