Share1. Gala Bizet / Bertrand de Billy
Georges Bizet passed away 150 years and a few days ago, barely older than his beloved Mozart. A clear genius and cursed creator, as if killed by the myth of Carmen that precipitated his fall, he leaves an indelible mark on our heritage, an innate colorist, a magical melodist, a passionate lover of the stage. "This music seems perfect to me. It moves forward, light, supple, polished. It is amiable, it does not sweat," praised Nietzsche. The Orchestre National de France celebrates him as it should, between Giuseppe Verdi and Ambroise Thomas.

2. The Grand Tour - Lourdes
A work of youth, another of absolute youth: if Beethoven is 34 years old at the time of this instrumental feast that is the Triple Concerto , where each soloist gives his all in his part, Bizet is exactly half his age (17 years old!) when the miracle of his Symphony in C is accomplished ; a page full of sunshine and languid reveries, where the National shines naturally.

3. Paris Concert
Who said the party was over? This is, in a way, the apotheosis of Radio France's musical season: under the Parisian sky, in front of thousands of spectators and millions of television viewers, the Orchestre National de France, the Choir, and the Maîtrise de Radio France celebrate music for all, accompanied by a shower of stars. Welcome to the Concert de Paris!

5. Gershwin / Ravel - Buchbinder / Măcelaru
Electricity in the air. The Orchestre National de France returns with Ravel, a true DNA of its repertoire, especially in this year of the 150th anniversary of his birth. Between the menacing whirlwinds of La Valse and an extremely rare version of the Trio slips the Piano Concerto by his friend Gershwin, to whom Maurice Ravel once urged, when he came to ask his advice: "Be yourself!" This will be the roguish touch of this French gala between Paris and New York, under the fingers of the eternally young Rudolf Buchbinder.

6. Tour of the National Orchestra of France in Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria: Bucharest
Anne-Sophie Mutter, in a program that sums her up magnificently: Mozart, which she played as a child with Karajan, and a concerto very much of its time, written especially for her, which did so much for the glory of her instrument, Air, which Thomas Adès understands as a tribute to Sibelius.

9. The Mornings of the National - Mozart / Dvořák
Intruders among the strings? Accomplices rather, friends for a day who share their flavor, their sweetness, their roughness perhaps: in Mozart, it is the oboe which slips between the violin, the viola and the cello, partners in a deliciously painful Adagio ; in Dvořák, the arrival of the piano within the quartet prolongs the nostalgia of the dumka, this ballad of Ukrainian origin in which his Quintet is bathed .
