Presented by ASSOCIATION ENSEMBLE L'ISLE JOYEUSE (PLATESV-D-2023-006822)A Tuesday in the country An enchanting journey with one of the most promising orchestras of his generation. To ward off the Parisian autumn, the Ensemble l’Isle Joyeuse takes you on a journey through the “miniatures”, these picturesque pieces for chamber orchestra. Throughout the concert, the public will be led throughout a “Tuesday in the countryside”, from dawn to dusk. From "Siegfried-Idyll" played on Christmas morning 1870 to the rainy "Sad Waltz", this evening will be an opportunity to celebrate the masterpieces of the repertoire for chamber orchestra, but also to defend unjustly unknown works (as evidenced by the remarkable “Soirs” of Florent Schmitt or the Songs “morning” and “night” of Edward Elgar). PROGRAM Charles Ives – The Unanswered Question Richard Wagner – Siegfried-Idyll Edward Elgar – Morning Song Frederick Delius – On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring Jean Sibelius – Sad Valley Florent Schmitt – Evenings (I, II, VII, VIII) Edward Elgar – Night song DISTRIBUTION Ensemble l’Isle Joyeuse Cyprien Fohr, musical direction
