Les Siècles: Concert Various

Les Siècles and their conductor François-Xavier Roth explore the Viennese beginnings of modernity on November 6, 2022 at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

The Centuries, François-Xavier Roth - Vienna

A new dive into modernity for François-Xavier Roth and his musicians in early 20th century Vienna. At the turn of the century, Vienna was then the capital of the arts, Klimt and Schiele reigned supreme there, Musil and Zweig renewed literature and Freud laid the groundwork for modern psychology. The musicians are not left out. Schoenberg, Berg and Webern compose the most famous pages of what will be called the second Vienna School and Mahler brings a new wind to the head of the city's opera house. If La Nuit transfigurée , which dates from 1899, is still a romantic work by Schoenberg, we can already see the tonality dissolving in a bath of poisonous sensuality. Berg composes the Seven Songs of Youthbetween 1905 and 1908 but they were not finished being orchestrated until 1928. This cycle is a sublime lyrical setting illustrating the emblematic themes of the genre. Back in time for the second part of the concert with Mahler's Symphony No. 1 (1888). Work of youth but where passion, poetry, irony alternate there before the great tumult of the finale. It already contains almost everything Mahler.

English

Nouvelle plongée dans la modernité pour François-Xavier Roth et ses musiciens dans la Vienne du début du XXe siècle. Au tournant du siècle, Vienne est alors la capitale des arts, Klimt et Schiele y règnent en maîtres, Musil et Zweig renouvellent la littérature et Freud pose les jalons de la psychologie moderne. Les musiciens ne sont pas en reste. Schoenberg, Berg et Webern composent les pages les plus célèbres de ce que l’on nommera la seconde Ecole de Vienne et Mahler fait souffler un vent nouveau à la tête de l’opéra de la ville. Si La Nuit transfigurée, qui date de 1899, est une œuvre encore romantique de Schoenberg, on y perçoit déjà la tonalité se dissoudre dans un bain de sensualité vénéneuse. Berg compose les Sept Lieder de jeunesse entre 1905 et 1908 mais ils ne furent achevés d’être orchestrés qu’en 1928. Ce cycle est un sublime écrin lyrique illustrant les thèmes emblématiques du genre. Retour dans le temps pour la seconde partie du concert avec la symphonie n° 1 de Mahler (1888). Œuvre de jeunesse mais où fougue, poésie, ironie y alternent avant le grand tumulte du finale. Elle contient déjà presque tout Mahler.
