Vous trouvez ça classique ? Le Concerto d'Aranjuez

Change your look on the great works of the repertoire. Alongside Mathieu Herzog and Orchestre Appassionato, this format offers a lively immersion in the heart of the scores: lighting, listening keys, 'tips' and stories enrich the experience of the concert. During 1h15, the conductor speaks directly to the audience with passion, humor and pedagogy to discover the "tubes" of classical music, but also the surprising anecdotes behind their creation, revealing what makes them still so powerful today.

A guitar concerto, what a strange idea, we will never hear the instrument with a whole orchestra! Yet the Concerto of Aranjuez de Joaquín Rodrigo is a worldwide classical music hit and you are certainly able to hum the theme of the Adagio, so beautiful that it has become a standard taken over by Gil Evans and Miles Davis, Fairuz, Jim Hall and even... Demis Roussos

Composed in 1939 in a bruised Spain, this concerto suspends time and takes us to the gardens of the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, near Madrid, designed at the end of the eighteenth century as an oasis. The guitar first dances to a fandango rhythm, then enters into a melancholic dialogue with the instruments of the orchestra, the clarinet in particular, and finally dances again under the sun.

Musical emblem of Spain, this concerto never pours into the Spanishade and gave the genre a pure masterpiece.

With Mathieu Herzog, the Orchestre Appassionato and Philippe Mouratoglou, immediate embarkation for a journey out of time through the sumptuous beauty of the stamps, soaked in sun and nostalgia.
