Arcangelo Corelli — Trio Sonatas, the Birth of a Style

Led by conductor Anthony Fournier, the Geneva Symphony Orchestra accompanies pianist Lan Anh Nguyen in a programme that juxtaposes Grieg’s passionate Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, with Brahms’s monumental Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68. The evening charts a journey from intimate lyricism to thunderous orchestral climaxes, highlighting delicate solo passages, dense Romantic textures and dramatic dynamic contrasts. Listeners are drawn into a vivid sound world where clarity of phrasing meets muscular orchestral power.

Under the direction of Stephan MacLeod, Gli Angeli Genève delve into Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride with a luminous period-informed approach. Soloists Tamara Bounazou (soprano), Antonin Rondepierre (tenor), Thomas Dolié (baritone) and Edwin Fardini (bass) shape an intimate dramatic arc, where elegant phrasing and warm continuo textures reveal the work’s moral intensity and lyrical clarity. The programme balances orchestral refinement and vocal expressivity for a concentrated operatic portrait.
