The bloodthirsty legacy of Tsar Ivan the Terrible held a deep fascination for Stalin: torturer and executioner of his opponents and punisher of his centuries-old Tatar and Lithuanian enemies, the paranoid Tsar offered the Soviet leader an unparalleled opportunity to capture his own criminal instincts on celluloid. , clothed in the patriotic dignity that – after the Nazi defeat in Stalingrad – the times demanded. To satisfy this endeavour, the best Soviet artists were mobilised, including Sergei Prokofiev, who provided an epic score, inherited from Boris Godunov , but with some modernist touches.
This program is preluded by two small gems of the concertante repertoire for flute: the poetic and post-Debussyan I Hear the Water Dreaming (1987) by the Japanese Tōru Takemitsu and the concertino by Cécile Chaminade (1902), a charming work composed as a morceau de concours for the Conservatory of Paris, whose presence in the flute repertoire has not declined one bit since its premiere until today.
Tōru Takemitsu - I Hear the Water Dreaming, for flute and orchestra Cécile Chaminade - Concertino para flauta en Re mayor, op. 107 Sergei Prokofiev - Iván el Terrible, op. 116, the score for the 1944 Eisenstein movie Ivan Groznyy
