Description
Hailed as “the Petit Prince of Cello” by Ouest France, French cellist Edgar Moreau was the winner of the “Révélation Soliste Instrumental de l’Année” at Victoires de la Musique Classique 2013. This year, he is further nominated as the “Soliste Instrumental de l’Année” by the same award event. Moreau’s talent was first recognized at the Rostropovich Cello Competition in Paris in 2009, in which he received the Prize for the Most Promising Contestant when he was 15. Two years later, he won the Second Prize and the Prize for the Best Performance of the Commissioned Work in the 14th International Tchaikovsky Competition held in Moscow, under the chairmanship of Valery Gergiev. He will make his Hong Kong début and open Hong Kong Sinfonietta’s new season with Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No 1, under the baton of Music Director Yip Wing-sie. The concert begins with the world première of Stephen Yip’s Ink. Color, a piece which describes the painting in composer’s mind by using different sonority of somber colour, textures, dynamics, intensities and contrasts. Programme also includes Prokofiev’s Symphony No 7, the last completed major work of the composer.
