Orchestre de Paris / Klaus Mäkelä: Concert Various

Preceded by an exceptional meeting with Betsy Jolas, whose Orchester de Paris has the privilege of creating a new score, this concert plunges us, with Mahler, into an existential dialectic between joy and distress, finitude and resurrection.

A vast poem on the end of time, the “ Resurrection ” Symphony bears witness to Mahler's incredible ability to project his metaphysical anguish into immense dramatic and musical architectures. The initial movement sets the underlying program: it is nothing less than the condition of man and his terrible finitude. Tumultuous, with the irruption of the Dies Irae , this movement gives way to a smiling Andante , in the rustic spirit of a ländler . But the tumult returns with a rondo with devilish contours, for which Mahler delivers the ironic, grating version of a song from the Knaben Wunderhorn . Preceded by the Urlicht, a poignant vocal appeal to the “original light”, the final movement uses a poem by Klopstock, Resurrection , to plunge the human subject back into his insoluble inner struggle. A major score, preceded by the exceptional event of the creation of a new work by a major figure of our time, Betsy Jolas.
