Consuelo Set Victor Julien-Laferriere, Pierre Genisson by Mozart, od (2023/2023), Dyrygent Victor Julien-Laferrière, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Paryż, Francja

We know the love story between Mozart and the clarinet, a story that began the day the composer discovered the Mannheim orchestra's use of this instrument, recently integrated into its wind instrument section. Then comes the decisive meeting with Anton Stadler, who plays the clarinet (but also the basset horn). Thus begins a friendship that can be described as spiritual, Mozart and Stadler being brothers within the same Masonic lodge. In the spirit of Mozart, the clarinet will become the instrument of fraternity, as it illustrates for example in the orchestra of The Magic Flute. But the clarinet also becomes the essential protagonist of three instrumental scores that Mozart composed for his friend Anton: the Trio K. 492 known as “Des quilles”, the Quintet K. 581 and the Concerto K. 622, his last completed instrumental score. Not content with giving this last concerto tonight, Pierre Genisson, one of the best representatives of the French wind school, accompanied by the no less talented conductor and cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière and his Consuelo ensemble, offer us three arrangements for clarinet among the musician's most famous opera arias.
