Sandrine Piau & Ensemble Contraste: Clair-Obscur: Recital Various

‘The dreamer! That double of our existence, that chiaroscuro of the thinking being’, wrote Gaston Bachelard in 1961. ‘The old is dying, the new cannot be born, and in that chiaroscuro, monsters appear’, adds Antonio Gramsci. Sandrine Piau has chosen to use these two quotations as an epigraph to her new recording: ‘My family and friends know about this obsession that never leaves me completely. The antagonism between light and darkness. The chiaroscuro, the space in between . . .’ This programme, recorded with the Orchestre Victor Hugo under its conductor Jean-François Verdier, who is also principal clarinettist of the Paris Opéra, travels between the chilly Rhenish forest of Waldgespräch, a ballad by Zemlinsky composed for soprano and small ensemble in 1895, the night of the first of Berg’s Seven Early Songs (1905-08), and the sunlight of Richard Strauss’s Morgen, which are followed by the Four Last Songs, composed in 1948, the first two of which, Frühling and September (evoking spring and autumn respectively) are also, as Sandrine Piau concludes, ‘the seasons of life’.

The sun shining in Richard Strauss’s Tomorrow and the twilight of his Four Last Songs. The enigmatic and sensual La Flûte enchantée from Maurice Ravel’s Shéhérazade. A dive into the forest with Alexander von Zemlinsky’s Waldgespräch and Ernest Chausson's Le Colibri, as well as pieces by Johannes Brahms, Ernst Bloch and Louis Spohr...

After performing in our Requiem, soprano and harpist Sandrine Piau is returning to La Monnaie for a recital dedicated to a personal obsession of hers: the conflict between light and darkness. Accompanied by the Ensemble Contraste, she has an evening of mystery, nature and poetry for you, bringing together touching and contrasting mélodies.

English

Het ochtendgloren in Richard Strauss’ Morgen of de schemering van zijn Vier letzte Lieder. De raadselachtige uitwerking van de fluit in Maurice Ravels Shéhérazade of de bekoring van het woud in Alexander von Zemlinsky's Waldgespräch of Ernest Chaussons Le colibri. Maar ook werken van Johannes Brahms, Ernest Bloch en Louis Spohr...

Na haar medewerking aan Requiem keert de sopraan en harpiste Sandrine Piau terug naar de Munt voor een recital gewijd aan een thema dat haar al lang fascineert: het antagonisme tussen licht en schaduw. In gezelschap van het Ensemble Contraste nodigt ze u uit op een avond vol mysterie, natuur en poëzie, waarin ontroerende en contrastrijke melodieën samenkomen.

Nederlands

Le soleil du Morgen ou le crépuscule des Vier letzte Lieder de Richard Strauss. L’énigmatique et sensuelle flute enchantée de Shéhérazade selon Ravel. Une plongée en forêt avec le Waldgespräch d’Alexander von Zemlinsky ou Le colibri d’Ernest Chausson, mais aussi des œuvres signées Brahms, Bloch et Spohr. Après sa prise de voix dans notre Requiem, la soprano et harpiste Sandrine Piau revient à la Monnaie pour un récital dédié à une obsession personnelle : l’antagonisme entre l’ombre et la lumière. En compagnie de l’Ensemble Contraste, elle vous invite à une soirée de mystère, de nature et de poésie rassemblant des mélodies touchantes et contrastées.
