In two concerts, Quatuor Diotima journeys across a century of chamber music, from post-Romanticism to contemporary creation, from Béla Bartók’s String Quartet No. 1 to an unpublished work by Philippe Schoeller. The quartet ponders upon the horrors of World War II, which can be heard as much in Bartók and György Ligeti as in Different Trains by Steve Reich.
The TM+ ensemble, directed by Laurent Cuniot, associates two voices of modern American music, Steve Reich and Elliott Carter: between the New York activity of City Life and the majestic Capitol of A Mirror on Which to Dwell, we are given a genuine panoramic soundscape of the United States in the last century.
At the head of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Case Scaglione puts two emblematic works in the history of American music face to face: Charles Ives’ The Unanswered Question and, as a possible answer, Aaron Copland’s fresco Symphony No. 3. Between these monuments, François Meïmoun revisits the myth of Antigone in a creation for reciter and orchestra, to which Laurent Stocker lends his voice.
Carried by the improvisations of the pianist Camille Taver, Laurent Stocker reads large excerpts from Rimbaud le fils, a book by Pierre Michon in which the author explores and freely “plays” on the poet’s life and art.
Chet Baker’s regular bassist for many years, Riccardo del Fra celebrates the legendary American trumpeter in an original tribute programme performed by his quintet and the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie (My Chet My Song). With Mystery Galaxy in the second part, he then opens a door to his own abundant inspirations.
The famous American harpsichordist Jory Vinikour pays tribute to a founding father of the art of the keyboard, Johann Jakob Froberger, and to one of his distant “disciples”, Christophe Maudot, in a set of ancient and modern pieces that combine stylistic richness and exacerbated expressiveness.
In a double recital punctuated by readings of Anna Akhmatova’s poems by Jean-Yves Clément, Peter Laul presents the complete Ten Piano Sonatas by Alexander Scriabin, a vast journey leading to the exalted climax of the Tenth Sonata.
