Songe et Tourment - Mendelssohn, Schumann, Mozart at Theatre Des Champs Elysees (75008 Paris), on Thursday 21 January 2027.
Checked on 11 November 2026.
Overview
Schumann heard in the overture to Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream « a torrent of youth ». And no wonder: the prodigious composer wrote it at the age of seventeen. His music captures the essence of Shakespeare's comedy, rendering the whisper of the fairies as well as the ardour of the lovers or the braying of a donkey.
In its day, Schumann's Cello Concerto was perceived as an unusual work. Few musicians were then interested in the cello and its expressive potential. These bold choices would nevertheless foreshadow the concerto's future success, performed here under the bow of Anastasia Kobekina.
Conductor Dinis Sousa and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris complete the programme with Mozart's Symphony No. 36, « Linz ». Composed in just four days during a stay in Linz by Mozart and Constanze, for a concert requested by the city's theatre, it expresses the verve born of urgency of a composer « forced to write a symphony at breakneck speed ».
The programme:
MENDELSSOHN A Midsummer Night's Dream, Overture, Op. 21
SCHUMANN Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129
MOZART Symphony No. 36 in C major, « Linz », K. 425
The artists:
Dinis Sousa, conductor
Anastasia Kobekina, cello
