A concert program that brings to life the relationship of the music and
paintings of one of the most exciting and dramatic periods in the history of
the arts.
Pianist Margaret Baxtresser explores the enchanting, nature-filled world of
Claude Debussy and the Impressionist Painters, a world in which Debussy´s
landscapes for the ear transformed music, just as Monet´s new harmonies of
light transformed art.
In this program, Debussy´s piano works, six Preludes, and L´Isle
Joyeuse are accompanied by projections of paintings by Monet, Degas, and
Renoir. The commentary and playing of short excerpts pre-engage the
listener´s ear before hearing the entire piece. The program offers an
imaginative alternative to the usual recital presentation. |
