Es flirrt und flimmert, wenn Debussy seinen Faun traumverloren auf der Flöte spielen lässt. Die stimmungsvolle Tondichtung des französischen Komponisten ist ein Meilenstein der Musikgeschichte und gilt bis heute als Inbegriff des musikalischen Impressionismus. Während in Dieter Ammanns Auftragskomposition die Bratsche im Scheinwerferlicht steht, spielt das titelgebende Instrument in Saint-Saëns’ Orgelsinfonie einen überraschend untergeordneten Part. Die ‹Königin der Instrumente› sorgt dennoch für phänomenale Klangfarben im Werk, das Saint-Saëns als sein bestes bezeichnete.

Deutsch

It shimmers and flickers when Debussy has his faun play the flute, lost in a dream. The French composer's atmospheric tone poem is a milestone in music history and is still considered the epitome of musical impressionism today. While the viola is in the spotlight in Dieter Ammann's commissioned composition, the eponymous instrument plays a surprisingly subordinate role in Saint-Saëns' organ symphony. The 'queen of instruments' nevertheless provides phenomenal tonal colours in the work, which Saint-Saëns described as his best.
