An unmissable appointment in Cortina d'Ampezzo with one of the greatest contemporary organists: Thierry Escaich, internationally acclaimed French virtuoso, renowned for his extraordinary improvisational skills.
In the evocative setting of the Basilica Minore dei SS. Filippo e Giacomo, the concert offers a musical journey that intertwines tradition and modernity. From the Chorale–Improvisation on Victimae Paschali by Charles Tournemire, in the refined transcription by Maurice Duruflé, to the Five Verses by Escaich himself, which reinterpret Gregorian chant in a contemporary key.
Evocative atmospheres come to life with Naïades by Louis Vierne, while César Franck's Chorale No. 2 stands as one of the peaks of the romantic repertoire. The famous Toccata by Duruflé concludes the program with energy and brilliance.
Grand finale with an improvisation on a given theme: a unique and unrepeatable moment in which Escaich creates live music, transforming the organ into pure emotion.
