Approvato

The famous cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand, from Saint-Etienne, is in the spotlight in this tailor-made musical evening, built to match her talent. It begins with the Cello Concerto by Camille Saint-Saëns. In this work from 1872, the composer intends to give this still little-valued instrument a new place in the repertoire. Emmanuelle Bertrand's cello dialogues here with the Saint-Étienne Loire Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nicolas André.

The evening continues with Phénix , a work commissioned by the Saint-Étienne Opera from the contemporary composer Benoît Menut, who created his first opera, Fando et Lis , in our house, in 2018. Benoît Menut composed the concerto for Emmanuelle Bertrand, with whom he has worked for several years, as a counterpoint to Camille Saint-Saëns' first concerto. It is a work whose very music and structure are inspired by the poem Phénix , by Paul Éluard.

Benoît Menut tells us about his project: “My concerto will of course be haunted by the spirituality questioning death, not as the end of life, but as a new resonance of the living, because I like to believe that, like life, the vibration never really goes out: it changes plane, mutates and remains alive, even if our meager mortal capacities believe it to be extinct. Isn’t this phoenix us in music? »

This exceptional evening ends with Scheherazade , a symphony by Rimsky-Korsakov created in 1889 in Saint Petersburg, from which Diaghilev made a ballet in 1910. But Rimsky-Korsakov was clear: no literary program in this work, essentially purely musical. The principal violinist of the Saint-Étienne Loire Symphony Orchestra, Mathieu Névéol, artisan luthier and artist, will shine once again in the interpretation of this major work of Russian music.
