To witness the world premiere of a work is an extraordinary experience. Composer José Río-Pareja (Barcelona, 1973) has been singled out for his “sensitivity and exquisite language of structural forms that are almost impossible to materialise”, and from the very beginning, his Sinfonía efímera promises a journey through original soundscapes.

Much better known is Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto, a particularly lyrical piece, with an expressive solo part whose uncompromising personality dominates throughout the three movements.

The name “Pastoral” reflects the programmatic character of Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, which explores different aspects of nature, from its most bucolic and amorous side, celebrated with country dances, to the threat of the storm. The final movement – one of the most moving ever composed – is in a more conciliatory mood, expressing gratitude for the possibility of life.

English

Presenciar l’estrena mundial d’una obra suposa un fet extraordinari. Del compositor José Río-Pareja (Barcelona, 1973) se n’ha destacat «la sensibilitat i l’exquisit llenguatge de formes estructurals gairebé impossibles de materialitzar», i ja des del títol la seva Simfonia efímera promet un recorregut per sonoritats inaudites.

Molt més conegut és el Concert per a violoncel i orquestra de Robert Schumann, una peça especialment lírica, en què la veu del solista fa gala d’una expressivitat rotunda, imposant una personalitat insubornable al llarg dels tres moviments.

L’apel·latiu “Pastoral” queda justificat aquí pel caràcter programàtic de la Sisena de Beethoven. Una simfonia que recorre la natura des del vessant més bucòlic i amorós, celebrat amb danses camperoles, fins a l’amenaça de la tempesta. El moviment final continua sonant conciliador –un dels més emotius que mai s’hagin compost– en forma d’agraïment per la possibilitat de la vida.

El apelativo de “Pastoral” se justifica aquí por el carácter programático de la Sexta sinfonía de Beethoven, una sinfonía que recorre la naturaleza desde la faceta más bucólica y amorosa, celebrada con danzas campesinas, hasta la amenaza de la tormenta. El movimiento final sigue sonando conciliador, uno de los más emotivos que jamás se hayan compuesto, en forma de agradecimiento por la posibilidad de la vida.
