In memory of Kader Hassissi, co-founder and director of the Beaune Festival, who passed away last summer at the end of the fortieth edition, Paul Mc Creesh and his Gabrieli Consort and Players, faithful among the faithful to the Festival, have imagined this opening evening devoted to Purcell’s odes, a repertoire in which they are perhaps without rivals today. A time for meditation, with Let mine eyes run down with tears, one of the composer’s most profound and powerful pieces, and excerpts from the Funeral of Queen Mary, a tribute to the beloved sovereign and friend of the arts who died in her prime, and whom Purcell would follow into the grave only a few months later. But also a time for hope, for the spiritual jubilation of the arts, stronger than human finitude. Few works in the entire repertoire manage to celebrate the power of Art as dazzlingly as the Ode to Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. Instruments and voices mingle in airy volutes and playful polyphony, served here by one of the most beautiful teams of soloists one could ever dream of.

English

En mémoire de Kader Hassissi, cofondateur et directeur du Festival de Beaune disparu brutalement l’été passé, à l’issue de la quarantième édition, Paul Mc Creesh et ses Gabrieli Consort and Players, fidèles parmi les fidèles à la manifestation, ont imaginé cette soirée d’ouverture consacrée aux odes de Purcell, répertoire où ils sont peut-être sans rivaux aujourd’hui. Un temps pour le recueillement, avec Let mine eyes run down with tears, l’une des pièces les plus profondes et puissantes du compositeur, et des extraits des Funérailles de la Reine Marie, hommage à la souveraine bien aimée et amie des arts fauchée dans la fleur de l’âge, que Purcell suivrait dans la tombe quelques mois plus tard seulement. Mais un temps, aussi, pour l’espérance, la jubilation spirituelle des arts plus forts que la finitude humaine. Peu d’œuvres, dans tout le répertoire, parviennent à célébrer le pouvoir de l’Art d’aussi éblouissante manière que l’Ode à la Sainte-Cécile, la patronne des musiciens. Instruments et voix se mêlent en volutes aériennes et en une polyphonie ludique, ici servies par l’une des plus belles équipes de solistes dont on puisse rêver.
