Concerts by Alban Gerhardt, cellist and associated artist

Il y a cent ans disparaissait Camille Saint-Saëns, et sans doute est-ce l’occasion de redécouvrir celui qu’on pensait – peut-être à tort – connaître. Enfant concertiste devenu adolescent prolixe (une première symphonie à 18 ans), « organiste étourdissant » (selon Fauré) de la Madeleine, voyageur invétéré et littérateur averti, curieux de tout, et de musique surtout. On le retrouve ici aux côtés de Brahms et de Wagner qui, selon lui, avait « refrappé l’art à son image ». Occasion rare : sous la direction de Lars Vogt, Alban Gerhardt interprétera non pas un mais les deux concertos que Saint-Saëns dédia au violoncelle, devenus des incontournables du répertoire de l’instrument. Celui que la presse allemande désigne tout bonnement comme « l’un des meilleurs violoncellistes du monde » retrouvera ici des œuvres qu’il a longtemps travaillées et mûries.

One hundred years ago, Camille Saint-Saëns passed away, and this is undoubtedly an opportunity to rediscover the man we thought we knew - perhaps wrongly. A child concert performer who became a prolific teenager (first symphony at the age of 18), a "dizzying organist" (according to Fauré) at the Madeleine, an inveterate traveller and a well-informed writer, curious about everything, especially music. We find him here alongside Brahms and Wagner, who, according to him, had "remade art in his own image". A rare opportunity: under the direction of Lars Vogt, Alban Gerhardt will perform not one but the two concertos that Saint-Saëns dedicated to the cello, which have become essential parts of the instrument's repertoire. The man whom the German press has described as 'one of the best cellists in the world' will be returning to works that he has worked on and developed over a long period.
