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.

Christmas is here!

Bach, Goldberg Variations - National Mornings

In Brocéliande, the legendary forest, we enter through our ears as much as through our eyes. But also through the words of the Fairy Viviane. She knows all its twists and turns, all its spells. In six stories drawing as much from Arthurian legend as from Breton folklore, she will take us along its paths, leading us to the horses drinking near the pond, above a crystal palace. Visions that summon in turn a knight, an elf, ferocious beasts, a fairy, an Enchanter…
