MUSICAL VOYAGE
April 18, 2024 in the Chamber Hall of the Estonian National Opera
The concert takes us on a voyage with the music of Franz Schubert, Léo Delibes, Henri Duparc, Richard Strauss and Reynaldo Hahn. German and French Romanticism, both in music and literature, loved the picturesque theme of wandering that has left us with numerous magnificent works. The title of the concert is inspired by Henri Duparc’s song “L’invitation au voyage” (“Invitation to Journey”) written in 1870 to the verses of the most famous French romantic writer Charles Baudelaire. At the time, Baudelaire was in love with an actress and the verses invite the readers to discover the beauty of scenery and world through the eyes of a lover.
Soloists: Janne Shevtshenko (soprano), Raiko Raalik (bass), Eda Peäske (harp), Lisa Kawasaki-Järvi (flute), accompanied by Riina Pikani on the piano.
