Getting up on a Sunday and enjoying Bach is the guarantee of a week that starts well. The musicians of the National are reunited with harpsichordist Jeanne Jourquin for the second part of their complete Brandenburg Concertos, which they began two seasons ago. We enjoy the Third and its false airs of Vivaldi, the Fourth , a violin concerto dotted with unexpected dialogues with the flutes, and the Sixth and last, a sublimation and quintessence of the concerto grosso .

Who has never dreamed of splitting themselves? Of letting the other person in them speak? Robert Louis Stevenson pushed madness to the limit in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , one of those stories that we dread but love, so much do we love to scare ourselves. Laure Grandbesançon, alias Laure du crime, has concocted her own adaptation of this fantastic tale, around appropriately blood-for-blood music, performed by the musicians of the Orchestre National de France. A new story from the Frissons collection, the new and amusingly disturbing podcast from France Inter.

A "blonde whose divine hairdressers are goldsmiths", a flute "like a mysterious kiss": the secret voice of Maurice Ravel rises through that of the contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux, in a range of melodies where his cherished themes pass through, antiquity, the dreamed Orient, childhood. The soloists of the National revisit Ma Mère l'Oye , a tale of a thousand discoveries inspired by Charles Perrault, where Ravel distils his precious sonorities. Eternal.
