Description
As part of the Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier
After Matthias Goerne?s Le Voyage d?hiver on July 13, it?s Raphaël Pichon?s turn to take us into the world of the Wanderer, the wandering traveler who appears in so many pages of German Romanticism.
A traveler who, of course, gets lost in the night and in his dreams (Nacht und Träume), meets his double (the Doppelgänger) and understands that death is close at hand, waiting for you at the bottom of Tartarus.
As you can see, Raphaël Pichon and his Pygmalion ensemble have made Schubert their guide through this journey, whether in works by Schubert himself (the famous "Unfinished" Symphony) or in arrangements by Liszt and Reger. Wagner?s Siegfried Idyll, composed on the occasion of the birth of his son, signals the return to the light, before Brahms?s First Symphony brings the program to an apotheosis of joy and will.
