Nimrod (Enigma Variations - Edward Elgar) | Alain Altinoglu, hr-Sinfonieorchester

Elgar 'enigma Variations': Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36, "Enigma" Elgar (+2 More)

What do an architect, a secretary, a poet's son and a friend who stutters have in common? The answer to this riddle is in the title of this concert. With his Enigma Variations , Edward Elgar pays tribute, while teasing them, to his friends, colleagues and relatives through a series of variations bearing their initials or nicknames: RBT, Dorabella, WN or Nimrod. All are based on a theme improvised by the composer one evening at the piano, which his wife Alice had greatly appreciated. Elgar would also have encrypted the score… If the enigma remains unsolved, the piece nevertheless occupies a place of choice in the repertoire.  
 
Two other pieces by British composers complete the program. The Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Stringsby Benjamin Britten, a cycle of songs based on several centuries of Anglo-Saxon poetry, invites you to tame the charms and dangers of the night. Finally, the opening of The Tempest by Thomas Adès unleashes an almost wild intensity. With this Made in UK evening , Alain Altinoglu and the musicians of La Monnaie will conclude their symphonic season in the most beautiful way: like a dream.

English

Qu’est-ce qu’un architecte, une secrétaire, le fils d’un poète et une amie qui bégaie ont en commun ? La réponse à cette devinette est dans le titre de ce concert. Avec ses Enigma Variations, Edward Elgar rend hommage, tout en les taquinant, à ses amis, ses collègues et ses proches à travers une série de variations portant leurs initiales ou des surnoms imagés : R.B.T., Dorabella, W.N. ou encore Nimrod. Toutes sont basées sur un thème improvisé par le compositeur un soir au piano, et que sa femme Alice avait beaucoup apprécié.  Elgar aurait également crypté la partition… Si l’énigme reste irrésolue, le morceau n’en occupe pas moins une place de choix au répertoire.  
 
Deux autres pièces de compositeurs britanniques complètent le programme. La Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings de Benjamin Britten, un cycle de chansons basées sur plusieurs siècles de poésie anglo-saxonne, invite à apprivoiser les charmes et les dangers de la nuit. Enfin, l’ouverture de The Tempest de Thomas Adès déchaîne une intensité presque sauvage. Avec cette soirée Made in UK, Alain Altinoglu et les musiciens de la Monnaie concluront leur saison symphonique de la plus belle des façons : comme dans un rêve.
