“the Saltarello was fast and frenetic, Heras-Casado a boisterous Tigger on the podium”

Pour le RIAS Kammerchor

Gilles Lesur, 8th June

Programmer trois œuvres chorales de Johannes Brahms, Pascal Dusapin et Maurice Duruflé était déjà très une belle idée. Surtout, lorsque le chœur invité pour la circonstance est un des meilleurs ensembles européens, le RIAS Kammerchor. Magnifique soirée donc que ce concert donné à la Philharmonie 2 (anciennement Cité de la Musique), malheureusement devant une salle peu remplie.

Los mundos de la cuerda: Eric Silberger y la Munich Chamber Orchestra

Leonardo Mattana Ereño, 7th February

La Munich Chamber Orchestra con el joven Eric Silberger como solista ofreció un recorrido variado y ameno; un viaje de ida y vuelta por las sonoridades barrocas, lejanas pero cómplices, de Piazzolla y Bach para llegar la desencantada tristeza de Barber y a la elegancia de Tchaikovsky.
