Playing, hearing (and therefore sharing) Bach is always a joy – a famous conductor once spoke of “music in the castle of heaven”. What could be more apt? Celestial, it speaks to men. Human, it reaches for the heights as soon as it rises. Bach being, of all composers, the one who has been transcribed the most, the musicians of the National have had the wonderful idea of ​​offering the Goldberg Variations , in a version for wind octet, and Suite No. 2. Christmas is here!

Bach, Goldberg Variations - National Mornings

Maison de la Radio et de la Musique

Mozart inaugurates: during the creation of this Quintet in which he plays the piano part, he brought together for the first time around the keyboard, certain of their alchemy, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. And it is an understatement to say that the timbres are in harmony. Discussing vigorously, they balance each other with an Apollonian smile and then pour an angelic sweetness over the score. Indebted to Amadeus but also to Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann's Trio is distinguished by its elegiac song, bursts of ardor that take the upper hand over its depressive side: four movements that reaffirm the essential place of the composer.
