French conductor Pascal Rophé brings with him a program of compelling interest. The opening work is by a French composer who lived for nearly a century, Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013), and whose music is marked by sensuously handled harmony and color. Métaboles, one of his best-known works, consists of a series of transformations of melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and instrumental material. The closing work is a complete performance of Ravel’s hour-long ballet score Daphnis and Chloé, For sheer opulence of orchestral color, orgiastic rhythms, and ravishingly sensuous harmonies, Daphnis and Chloé remains one of the great glories of twentieth-century music, premiered just four years before Dutilleux was born. The Flute Concerto by the great Dane Carl Nielsen is one of his sunniest, warmest, most appealing compositions.
