Description:
Kazuki Yamada and the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra to Perform Rare Pieces by Saint-Saëns and Other French Symphonies On June 12, 2025, Kazuki Yamada made a successful debut with the Berlin Philharmonic. He is one of the most active conductors in the world today, and together with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, he will present an album featuring the first symphonies written by Bizet, Gounod, and Saint-Saëns. Saint-Saens' A major is the composer's first symphony, which he completed in 1850 while still a student at the Paris Conservatory. Although the work is meant to be a study, and the brushwork is still immature under the influence of the past masters, it is certainly a surprisingly accomplished work for a 15-year-old. It is interesting to note that the opening motive is reminiscent of the circular theme that was transformed into a major theme in the latter half of No. 3 "With Organ. Gounod's No. 1 was composed for the "Society of Young Artists" when he was 37 years old, and is said to have consoled the composer from the disappointment of having his opera "The Bloody Nun" removed from the repertoire of the opera house despite its successful premiere.While influenced by Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert, Gounod was highly acclaimed at the time for his fresh inspiration, liveliness, and departure from German music with originality unique to Gounod. Bizet's C major is a re-recording for Kazuki Yamada. It was composed at the age of 17, but was not published until 1932, when it was discovered in materials donated by Reynaldo Arn to the Conservatoire de Paris. It is characterized by its classical structure, Beethovenian power, and Rossini-esque crescendo, and was actually composed shortly after Bizet's arrangement of Gounod's No. 1 for piano four hands, and was strongly influenced by it. Kazuki Yamada has been deeply attached to these works, boldly tackling the symphonic genre, which at the time of composition was not popular in France because it was regarded as "belonging to German music." He has successfully brought out the unique French sensibility that blossomed beautifully and the budding individuality latent in each of them, and more than adequately conveys their appeal.
