Les Vents Francais, a dream team of the wooden ensemble, where the world’s leading woodwind players gather, will visit the Korean stage for the second time since 2023.
The Levung Franse, which means ‘the French wind’, consists of the best skills such as Flutist Emanuel Field, Oboyist François, Clarinetist Paul Mayer, Ba Soonist Gilber Odin, Hornist Radovan Blat Kobich, and Pianist Eric Le Sayju. Among the members, Paul Mayer was appointed assistant assistant director of the Seoul Symphony Orchestra in 2006 and worked for three seasons.
On the 20th of this month, the second part of the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall will arrange works for other instruments such as Brahms ‘Haydn’s variations’ and Verdi string quartet. In the second part, he plays the “ Piano and Woodwear Quartet ” commissioned to the 19th -20th -century composer Lucel and Twoile’s quartet and contemporary composer Sylvesttrini. The song of Sylvesttrini is the world premiere.
In an interview with e -mail before the visit, Lebung Franse ordered, “Please focus on the tone of each instrument and watch the songs.”
“It’s been over 100 years between Verdi and Lucel. Just as you enjoy the appetizer to the dessert in the restaurant, I hope you will see a variety of elements of various elements. ”(Paul Mayer)
“The joy of meeting a song you know and listening to new songs is different. I look forward to a variety of reviews. ”(Blat Kovic)
Lebung Franse always contains almost commissioned creations in the program. Mayer said, “It is our role to play new songs of our generation for future generations.” Blat Kobichi said, “For living composers, you can ask questions about the work. This experience also helps to interpret the works of old composers. ” “The arrangement was a common thing in the past,” said Mayer about playing the songs written for other instruments or ensemble as a woodwind ensemble.
“Before the recording technology was created, it was common for people to listen to Beethoven’s symphony into a woodwind ensemble. We are a work to be arranged and we choose songs that are great and relatively not played. Each instrument has a different tone, so you can express more colorful colors. ”
All six members are unique star performers, so maybe the opinion may encounter? Blat Kovich said, “I have never had serious problems or difficulties.”
“Even if there is a difference in opinions, it is quickly solved with the goal and humor of music. Because each has an interesting and original idea. ”
Mayer said, “The important thing is to enjoy the existence and music of a colleague. The only topic we argue is to go to Korean restaurant this evening or to eat something else. ” 1668-1352, 1544-1555
