Record Release: „La lumière du sud“
In 2011, Lena Kravets and Tobias Kassung established their duo in the Kölner Klassik Ensemble. With the rare combination of cello and guitar, they develop very individual programmes and thrill audiences in their concerts across Germany.
In autumn 2023 their new album "La lumière du sud" will be released by KSG Exaudio. With this concert we celebrate the "Record Release" together with our Cologne audience.
"La lumière du sud - the light of the south" is entirely dedicated to the masters of French music. The vastness of the French coast, the high, blue sky and the special light have inspired French artists at all times to create special works of art. In music, too, lightness merges with southern flair and the French way of life. Great impressionists like Claude Debussy or Gabriel Fauré meet the baroque master Marin Marais and the contemporary Parisian composer Mathias Duplessy, who wonderfully combines French lightness with flamenco and Brazilian bossa nova.
Programme:
Marin Marais (1656-1728): Variations sur les Folies d‘Espagne
Claude Debussy (1862-1918): Clair du Lune (No. 3 da la Suite bergamasque)
Tobias Kassung (*1977): Capriccio à la lumière du sud, op. 16
Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924): Après un rêve, op. 7; Au bord de l’eau, op. 8
Mathias Duplessy (*1972): Sonate pour guitar et violoncelle en quatre rêves
