written during the composer’s
war-time years in New York. ‘I feel so
deeply about this piece … one experiences
the incredible strength of it,’ Jansen says. The
Mediterranean verve of Berlioz’s overture
Le corsaire and the shimmering weight of full
orchestra and organ in Saint-Saëns’s Third
Symphony complete a programme of introspective
reflection and extrovert
display.

Prom 67: Introspection and exuberance from Järvi, Jansen and Orchestre de Paris

Carla Finesilver, 2nd September

Tonight’s Orchestre de Paris Prom was very much a concert of two halves, in the first of which they got to show their sensitive, introspective side, reflecting on the nature of life and lamenting too-early death, then becoming considerably more extrovert in the second for some free-spirited buccaneering, and what the programme notes describe as “vivid, prolonged and grand noise”.
