A late monument by Beethoven, the imposing Missa solemnis is undoubtedly the score that cost the “great deaf man” the most effort: stubborn and passionate work, for a work that, beyond its liturgical significance, is a universal hymn of peace.

Ludwig van Beethoven / Missa solemnis

Philharmonie de Paris

An exceptional vocal program, featuring arias and choruses from the finest gems of French opera: to be savored in Paris, while we wait for Shanghai!

Orchestre de Paris / Xu Zhong

This French program, including Saint-Saëns' warm Concerto No.1 under the bow of Sheku Kanneth-Mason, offers French listeners the opportunity of a lifetime: to hear a previously unpublished work by Ravel for the first time!

Orchestre de Paris / Alain Altinoglu

At once rooted in the purest liturgical tradition and a laboratory for avant-garde music intent on seduction, Ligeti's Requiem is a landmark work of the 20th century, succeeded by the mystical medievalism of the Fourth Symphony that Bruckner himself called “Romantic”.

Orchestre de Paris / Esa-Pekka Salonen

By turns mysterious, terrifying, soothing and warm, Dracula's score is one of Wojcieck Kilar's finest achievements. Audiences are warned: it's the music, even more than the vampire, that will capture their souls!

Dracula / Francis Ford Coppola

The blend of sacred and profane, spirituality and passion, characterizes the aesthetics of the Baroque New World. Just follow the choral momentum and throw yourself wholeheartedly into the blaze!
