Bien que six siècles de musique les séparent, les œuvres de Machault, Gesualdo et Stravinsky choisies par l’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande et Gli Angeli Genève sont intimement liées. Dans les années 1940, Stravinsky est fasciné par les musiciens du 14e siècle, et c’est en particulier la Messe de Notre Dame qui inspirera la composition de sa propre messe. Le madrigal, lui, est né au 16e siècle d’une volonté d’exprimer les sentiments à travers un texte poétique, mais aussi par la façon dont il est chanté. Le Monumentum pro Gesualdo, créé pour les 400 ans de la naissance de Gesualdo, est une orchestration par Stravinsky de trois madrigaux du compositeur italien. C’est un passionnant dialogue entre trois périodes de la musique que nous offrent ces deux ensembles phares de la scène genevoise pour leur première collaboration.

Although created in this temple of opera that is La Scala in Milan under the direction of Ernest Ansermet in 1948, the Mass belongs to the last period of Stravinsky. Designed to be part of the Roman Catholic liturgy, it is deliberately “cold, absolutely cold” with an extreme and austere starkness. At that time, Stravinsky became passionate about the Ars nova musicians of the 14th century, and in particular the Messe de Nostre-Dame by Guillaume de Machault. About ten years later, when he began to use the serial technique, he discovered the strange music of Carlo Gesualdo and completed Tres Sacrae cantiones left unfinished, then he arranged three madrigals for the 400th anniversary of the birth of the Neapolitan composer in the form of a Monumentum pro Gesualdo da Venosa created at the Doge's Palace in Venice in 1960, then choreographed by George Balanchine for his New York City Ballet. It is a great opportunity to hear during this concert the sources, then the realization that they inspired to one of the greatest composers of the 20th century in works that have remained very confidential.
