Approved

The adoration of the celestial lady and the fanatical mob setting a woman accused of witchcraft at the stake constitute the extremes of the medieval representation of the feminine that unifies this stimulating double program. There is no shortage of connections between the two works, because even when both deny the title of "opera" - we are dealing with a symbolist cantata in Debussy's case and a dramatic oratorio in Honegger's - they were composed with Wagner in mind. On the one hand, a young Debussy capable of playing the piano from memory Tristan und Isolde, before renouncing the spell of the "old wizard" in Pelléas et Mélisande. On the other, a Honegger at the peak of his career, fascinated - as well as his librettist Paul Claudel - by the Wagnerian concept of "total work of art", but ready to reach it with totally new wickers.

With contrasting and perfectly complementary durations and musical and dramatic registers, La damoiselle élue shines like a stained glass window by Fra Angelico, while the modal coloring, the polytonal aggregates and the phantasmagoric timbre of Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher's Martenot waves seem to reflect its light. on the stone walls.
