Les 4 Saisons de Vivaldi Intégrale Petite Musique de Nuit de Mozart - Eglise Saint Germain Des Prés

The Four Seasons by Vivaldi Intégrale / Petite Musique de Nuit by Mozart

Orchestre Hélios

Violon Solo: Glen Rouxel

Serenade No. 13 in G major, "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", K. 525 – better known in French as "Une petite musique de nuit" – is a serenade for strings composed by Mozart in 1787. Its first movement opens with one of the most famous themes in classical music. It is Mozart's last serenade.

The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi is a set of four violin concertos, composed in 1723. It is arguably Vivaldi's best-known composition and the most performed musical work in the world. Each concerto is a violin concerto in which the soloist plays accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The content of each part is varied and evokes the season to which it relates. For example, winter is punctuated by pizzicato notes on the high strings, suggesting icy rain, while summer evokes a storm in the final movement, preceded by thunder rumbling several times throughout the movement.

Dynamic and eclectic, the Hélios orchestra has established itself since its creation in 2014. Its artistic director, Paul Savalle, promotes the professional integration of young musicians through orchestral practice. Thus, recent graduates mix with experienced orchestral musicians, conductors and soloists, under optimal working conditions.

From baroque to contemporary music, the programmes are varied, and the repertoire is both symphonic and choral, the orchestra joining departmental and regional choirs. Thanks to collaboration with different conductors, the musicians tackle a very rich repertoire while broadening their range of interpretation. They all come from leading French conservatoires, some of them belonging to a national orchestra.
