We could sum up the first event of the next concert series of the Pannon Philharmonic with the terms Romanticism, French music and the legends of the far north: poetry, drama and prose all united in the same evening. Saint-Saëns' richly emotional cello concerto begins with a heated discussion between the soloist and the orchestra. Poetic thoughts are elaborated on in more detail only later. Fauré's highly popular Elégie, an impressive example of musical melancholy and a consolation attempt, could be the continuation of Saint-Saëns’ composition. Finally, we can enjoy Grieg’s two Peer Gynt Suites at the same concert, even if in a somewhat unusual structure: first the second, then the first.
