Music Salon // Classical music: sparkling French flute trios

The transverse flute, in its present form a child of the 19th century, unfolds all its magic in French music from the turn of the century: dazzling colors, a hint of fragrance in every phrase. This is exactly where Anissa Baniahmad, solo flutist at the NTM since 2020, feels audibly at home. She received her training with Paul Dahme at Dr. Hoch's Conservatory in Frankfurt, among others, and was principal flute of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra before her engagement in Mannheim. Around this virtuoso, our solo cellist Gabriel Faur and pianist Lorenzo Di Toro, a program unfolds that shows French chamber music in its most beautiful facets. Claude Debussy's (1862-1918) Trio in G major - an early work, full of transparency and surprising harmonic twists and turns - meets the lyrical elegance of Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941), whose "Trois Aquarelles" and "Pièce romantique" are among the most sparkling gems in the repertoire. In between, the much older Louise Farrenc (1804-1875) shines with her Trio op. 45: classical form, romantic warmth, French noblesse. This content has been machine translated.
