Boléro de Ravel / Casse Noisette / Le Lac des Cygnes / L’Arlésienne de Bizet (extraits)

LE BOLERO DE RAVEL Le Boléro is the most performed work of classical music in the world, with a performance every 15 minutes. When it was composed, the composer had given the copyright to his gardener without foreseeing its success with the general public.

This work is the archetype of the ostinato. The melody is taken up in turn by the different instruments of the orchestra over a rhythmic formula on percussion.

CASSE-NOISETTECasse-Noisette, Tchaikovsky's final ballet, sits squarely in the line of his previous works: imbued with the spirit of the fairy tale, blending the fantastic and the enchanted, carried by a constant concern for dramatic unity.

All of it is served by dazzling mastery and symphonic inventiveness. ), Le Lac des Cygnes belongs more broadly to the themes that run through the whole of Romanticism: mad love and death, infinite desire, dream, the fantastic.

L'Orchestre Hélios is a professional musical ensemble based in Paris, founded in 2015 by Paul Savalle with the aim of bringing classical music to a wide audience, in emblematic heritage venues.
