Three composers and one female composer each explore in their own way the play of contrasts, reflections, and flashes. Sophie Gail, one of the rare female composers of her time, opens the concert with the overture to The Two Jealous , a lively and theatrical work, in the spirit of the comic operas of his time. Étienne-Nicolas Méhul achieved great success with the comic opera Stratonice , oscillating between gravity and lyricism. Then, Beethoven, whose Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 exudes a gentle melancholy, suspends time before deploying his creative energy in the overture to The Creatures of Prometheus . As for Mozart, he breathes into this concert the sparkling youth of his Symphony No. 29 , all lightness and clarity.
