Paul Lecocq Concert

Music · Sunday, December 6 · 11:00 · Marseille 1er Arrondissement

Opéra de Marseille, 2 Place Ernest Reyer

The Diapason magazine praised him as “flamboyant”. Not surprising, since he has been gracing the stage since his youth. His sparkling, colorful playing has sharpened with time, notably in Aubagne under the guidance of Bernard d’Ascoli. Paul Lecocq chose Brahms for his Sunday morning recital. Two Sarabandes as a tribute to Bach, the very passionate Sonata No. 2 in F-sharp minor, Op. 2, and the Sept Fantasies Op. 116 which critic Hanslick baptized as a “breviary of pessimism.” PROGRAMME BRAHMS 2 Sarabandes WoO 5 Sonate No. 2 in F-sharp minor Op. 2 Sept Fantaisies Op. 116
