Vous Trouvez ça Classique ? Dvořák

Do you find that classical? , change your perspective on the great works of the repertoire.

Alongside Mathieu Herzog and the Appassionato Orchestra, this format offers a vivid immersion at the heart of the scores: lighting, listening cues, 'tips' and narratives enrich the concert experience.

For 1 hour 15 minutes, the conductor addresses the audience directly with passion, humor and pedagogy to reveal the 'hits' of classical music, but also the surprising anecdotes hidden behind their creation, revealing what makes them still so powerful today.

Before conquering America, Dvořák makes his living playing viola at the Prague Opera.

It is there, at the heart of the orchestra, that he discovers the riches of the symphonic repertoire and the orchestration art of his compatriot Smetana, who knew how to blend scholarly and popular traditions, and Brahms, whose influence is notably transparent in the expressive role given to the winds.

In 1892, Dvořák is appointed director of the New York Conservatory. It is there that the New World Symphony, the American Quartet and the Cello Concerto are born, his last American work.

He slips a melody into it from a lied he had composed for Josephina, his first love: Lasst mich allein (Leave me to my solitude).

Between passion and lyricism, passion and elegy, this concerto combines heroic breath and Slavic nostalgia, offering the cello one of the most beautiful pages of its repertoire.

Discover this profoundly human Romantic monument, an impassioned fresco whose treasures Mathieu Herzog, the Appassionato Orchestra and Henri Demarquette will reveal to you.
