Three romantic visions of wind instruments intertwine in three masterpieces of Romanticism.
To open the concert, Wagner conceived his Sigfried-Idyll as a gift to his wife Cosima, blending pastoral tenderness with Wagnerian leitmotifs in miniature.
An intimate dialogue woven by horns and woodwinds already imbued with nostalgia. In his Serenade Op. 44, a spontaneous gem straight out of Czech folklore, Dvo?ák alternates joyful village dances with more nostalgic melodies. They showcase bassoons and oboes with a subtle art of counterpoint.
As for Brahms, his Sérénade n°1 marks his symphonic debut, deploying his classical architecture refreshed by Romantic colors. Under the expert direction of Jean-François Verdier, the Orchestre National Montpellier reveals the full range of melodies that seem to be blown by the wind? from the transparency of the minuets to the majesty of the finales. A sensitive tribute to instruments that sing, dialogue and dance.
