The epic-tragic grandeur of Beethoven, sublimated by the touch of Mitsuko Uchida, bursts forth on this exceptional poster, especially as it is preceded by a creation and followed by Berliozian excess.

It is a privilege to attend the premiere of A Sky too Small by the young British composer Charlotte Bray, undoubtedly one of the most promising talents of her generation. Commissioned by the Orchestre de Paris, this exciting work is followed by Beethoven's Concerto No.  3 , in which the composer, freeing himself from the legacy of Mozart and Haydn, takes a leap into history. In the "  tragic  " key of C minor, he offers an Allegro with a heroic tone, a Largo in which the piano, full of nocturnal tenderness, deploys and then adorns a sublime cantilena, and a Finale with a magnetic momentum, until the apotheosis.

The Symphonie fantastique , finally, besides being part of the historical roots of the Orchestre de Paris, remains a true standard of French music. Excessive, theatrical, rich in reminiscences of Shakespeare, Goethe, and of course Beethoven, it is structured around a "  fixed idea  ", up to the grandiose and parodic explosion of the Dies Irae . Perhaps no work, by its scale, the number of players it requires, its contrasts and its intensity, is able to magnify more the power and expressive capacities of a symphony orchestra.

Charlotte Bray's A Sky too Small was commissioned by the Aix-en-Provence Festival and the Philharmonie de Paris - Orchestre de Paris. The world premiere took place on July 13, 2024 with the Orchestre de Paris, conducted by Klaus Mäkelä.
