Salle des Combins

Sublime soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci and superstar clarinetist Martin Fröst join maestro Claudio Vandelli and the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra in a stunning symphonic concert, live from the Salle des Combins at the 2022 Verbier Festival!

The concert kicks off with Poulenc's La Voix Humaine (The Human Voice), interpreted with brio by the Italian soprano, who is marvelously at home in the role after a resoundingly successful run at Paris's Opéra Comique in 2013. This "concerto for soprano and orchestra" is an intense and powerfully lyrical monodrama whose libretto—by none other than Jean Cocteau—recounts the heart-rending tale of a woman abandoned by her lover. Poulenc's score deepens the story's exploration of anguish, isolation, and fear, marked by soaring, poetic vocal runs. To conclude the evening, Fröst proposes his own "Nomadic Dances," a pastiche for clarinet and orchestra that takes the audience on a symphonic journey from the French Baroque period to contemporary Sweden…

Soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci delivers Poulenc's devastating tale of distress and heartache, La Voix humaine, with Claudio Vandelli conducting the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra. Clarinetist Martin Fröst then takes to the stage for 'Nomadic Dances'.

With text from a monologue by Jean Cocteau, Poulenc’s powerful La Voix humaine (‘The Human Voice’) of 1959 is an operatic monodrama exploring the anguish of rejection, in the form of a telephone call heard from just one end: a woman trying without success to win back her former lover, having heard he’s to marry someone else the following day. Nomadic Dances then picks up the operatic thread, opening with three orchestral excerpts from Rameau operas – Platée, Les Boréades and Les Indes galantes. Frȍst then takes to clarinet for a fusion of folk and folk-influenced pieces spanning both centuries and continents: Piazzolla’s La muerta del angel; Krivo Sadovsko’s Horo; Brahms’s Hungarian Dance No 1; a traditional Swedish polka; Chick Corea’s Children’s Song No 15; Anders Hillborg’s Dances of Echoes, and a selection of Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances.

English

Sopranen Anna Caterina Antonacci levererar Poulencs förödande berättelse om nöd och hjärtesorg, La Voix humaine, med Claudio Vandelli som dirigerar Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra. Klarinettisten Martin Fröst går sedan upp på scenen för 'Nomadic Dances'.

Med text från en monolog av Jean Cocteau är Poulencs kraftfulla La Voix humaine ('Den mänskliga rösten') från 1959 ett operatiskt monodrama som utforskar ångesten av avslag, i form av ett telefonsamtal som hörs från bara ena änden: en kvinna som försöker utan lyckades vinna tillbaka sin tidigare älskare, efter att ha hört att han skulle gifta sig med någon annan dagen efter. Nomadic Dances tar sedan upp operatråden och inleds med tre orkesterutdrag ur Rameau-operor – Platée, Les Boréades och Les Indes galantes. Frȍst går sedan till klarinett för en blandning av folk- och folkinfluerade stycken som spänner över både århundraden och kontinenter: Piazzollas La muerta del angel; Krivo Sadovskos Horo; Brahms ungerska dans nr 1; en traditionell svensk polka; Chick Coreas barnsång nr 15; Anders Hillborgs Dances of Echoes, och ett urval av Bartóks rumänska folkdanser.
