Orchestre de Paris / Pablo Heras Casado: Pictures at an Exhibition (arr. Maurice Ravel) Mussorgsky (+2 More)

Au fil de la déambulation de Pablo Heras-Casado et Sabine Devieilhe au sein du musée d’Orsay, l’Orchestre de Paris donne, depuis la grande nef, un concert-promenade illustrant l’art de la transcription orchestrale de Maurice Ravel.

Orfèvre des alliages de timbres, comme le prouve son illustre Boléro, Ravel n’a eu de cesse d’adapter pour l’orchestre des partitions initialement conçues pour le piano. C’est le cas des Chansons populaires grecques, pleines d’harmonies modales et de mélismes délicats, mais aussi de l’Alborada del gracioso, quatrième pièce des Miroirs, dont l’énergique vivacité fait bondir sous nos yeux, grâce à des sonorités rutilantes et ironiques, le bouffon des comédies espagnoles. 
Immense orchestrateur, Ravel a souvent servi la musique des autres : justement célèbre, sa version des Tableaux d’une exposition de Moussorgski, composée pour le piano, ont magnifié la pensée musicale du maître russe au point, parfois, d’éclipser l’original.

français

his programme dedicated to Maurice Ravel, one of the great French orchestra composers, focuses on transcription—a decisive practice in the life of musical works.

As proven by his illustrious Bolero, Ravel was a master of combining timbres and continuously adapted for orchestra numerous scores initially written for piano. One such example is his Greek Folk Songs filled with modal harmonies and delicate melisma, and Alborada del gracioso, the fourth movement of Mirrors, whose lively vivacity delivered through bright and ironic sounds brings the jester of Spanish comedies to life. 
An exceptional orchestrator, Ravel often created his own version of the music of others: his rightly famous version of  Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, composed for piano, articulates the Russian master’s idea so exquisitely as to sometimes surpass the original.
