In a highly anticipated piece, Georges Aperghis, the master of musical theatre, delivers an accordion concerto. An instrument that has long been underrated before coming back to the scene thanks to composers like Luciano Berio, who wrote a wonderful Sequenza, or Mauricio Kagel. Georges Aperghis composed this concerto for Teodoro Anzellotti, a virtuoso of contemporary accordion. Popular sounds and experimental effects combine to create an unprecedented musical discourse offering an irresistible dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra.

Pascal Dusapin is definitely busy at the moment. To be sung, a wonderful chamber opera, is being performed at La Monnaie, a venue that has forged a faithful bond with Pascal Dusapin. Premiered in 1994 at the Théâtre des Amandiers, in the framework of the Festival d’Automne, this work, with its original scenography by James Turrell, based on a text by Gertrude Stein “A lyrical opera made by two”, innovated as much in the use of the voice (three solo soprano) as in the instrumental writing, together with electronics. This new production will give the opportunity to rediscover the third opera by Pascal Dusapin, this time directed by Sjaron Minailo.

In this new interview, Bernard Fournier presents Arthur Honegger’s Quatuor à cordes n°1 to us. Despite being a part of Groupe des Six, Arthur Honegger is indisputably a traditionally Germanic composer, who distances himself from the French taste for entertainment and lighter music.
