Claude Debussy – A Passionate Life With ROBERT POWELL & ROHAN MCCULLOUGH Guests CLIVE CONWAY flute & CHRISTINE CROSHAW piano   Robert Powell brings vividly to life, through the composer’s own words, the fascinating character of one of the most extraordinary superstars in musical history. Charismatic, fascinating, outrageously unconventional, possessed of great charm and wit, he was a true Bohemian, equally at home in the lowlife nightclubs of Montmartre as in the aristocratic salons of Parisian Society. Rohan Mccullough joins Robert in presenting the unfortunate women who were bewitched by this strange and complex man. Shootings, attempted suicide, adultery, public scandal – all featured in the passionate life of Debussy! Throughout all of the drama of his life flowed the inspired music which shocked the Establishment by its sensuality and daring harmonic language; and how this quixotic genius loved to shock the Parisian Society! His wicked sense of humour, and delight in poking fun, is wonderfully revealed in his own words. Speaking of a society lady who sang his songs, he remarked: “She sings like a locomotive in distress, but her buttered scones are marvellous!” Debussy wrote to his wife while on tour in Europe: “Vienna is a raddled old city where one suffers an excess of Brahms and Puccini. As for Budapest, the river Danube refuses to be as blue as a certain famous waltz maintains it is. The Hungarians are all liars, but charming! But I brought back some marvellous chocolates...”

From a small village in Moldova, Liveni, George Enescu became one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, an acclaimed and respected violinist, pianist, composer and teacher. In his parents’ home in Cracalia, then during his studies in Vienna and Paris, his three little friends were always by his side and can recount how the little boy from Liveni became one of the world’s greatest musicians.   *Event supported by Dacia.

They learn a few words in Hungarian, play children’s games with Béla and his friend, the Macedonian Ioska, listen enthusiastically to stories about folklore collections with the help of a wonder instrument called a phonograph, and even have the opportunity to play folk instruments that were previously unknown to them, such as the drâmba or the tulnic. Before returning to Bucharest, the three friends help Béla present to the children in the auditorium The Wooden Prince story, a ballet inspired by a fairy tale about a prince that is in love with a princess, whom an evil spirit tries to prevent from getting close to the one he loves.   * Event supported by the Magyar Kulturális Intézet Bukarest and the Hungarian Ministry of Culture.
