Music Director/Conductor: Christoph Poppen
Clarinet: Horácio Ferreira
An iconic work for the clarinet demanding absolute mastery of the instrument, Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie is poetic, capricious and enthralling, displaying the beautiful instrument’s kaleidoscopic sound qualities and instilling lasting influence in all who continue to contribute towards the clarinet repertoire – one of whom being composer Geoffrey Gordon. His clarinet concerto Fumée – inspired by Debussy’s work as well as a chanson by Reynaldo Hahn, setting the text of Greek poet Jean Moréas – reflects on the transient existence of human beings, who ultimately leave the world as ashes and vanish like smoke, or fumée.
A thoughtful pairing of these two works by Debussy and Gordon will make up the musical core of this concert by Hong Kong Sinfonietta and Music Director Christoph Poppen, presenting the Portuguese clarinet rising star Horácio Ferreira; the rest of the programme includes Debussy’s evocative masterpiece Prélude à L’Après-midi d’un Faune, as well as Mozart’s electrifying Symphony No 40 in G minor.
