La version hollywoodienne des studios Disney s’éloigne du roman italien d’origine : le petit garçon au cœur tendre du maître américain diffère radicalement du gamin insupportable imaginé par Collodi. C’est ce personnage a priori peu sympathique que le dramaturge Edouard Signolet a choisi pour sa version de Pinocchio, dans laquelle le pantin de bois, têtu, malpoli et ingrat doit vivre ses aventures pour évoluer et grandir. Le compositeur : Né en 1950, Laurent Petitgirard a étudié le piano avec Serge Petitgirard et la composition avec Alain Kremski. Musicien éclectique, sa carrière de compositeur de musique symphonique, d’opéras et de musique de chambre se double d'une importante activité de chef d'orchestre. Laurent Petitgirard a également composé de nombreuses musiques de films pour des metteurs en scène tels Otto Preminger, Jacques Demy, Francis Girod, Peter Kassovitz.

  • Edouard Lalo & Albert Roussel
    PRESS PACK 16.01.2017 Our 15th recording, featuring the works of Lalo and Roussel: Orchestra of Douai - Hauts de France Region pays tribute to two great composers from northern France. Released in December 2016 on the German arcantus label, Orchestra of Douai’s latest record, headed up by artistic director Jean-Jacques Kantorow, pays homage to two composers from northern France: Edouard Lalo, born in Lille (1823), and Albert Roussel, born in Tourcoing (1869). The world-famous Symphonie Espagnole, composed by Lalo Pablo and dedicated to Pablo de Sarasate, featuring tantalising Spanish rhythms, is interpreted by highly accomplished violinist Svetlin Roussev. Two pieces composed in 1927 from the incredibly rich and yet little known universe of Albert Roussel round out the CD; the Concerto for small orchestra and the beautiful Piano concerto are played by Alain Raës, best known for his performance of Roussel’s works for piano in their entirety.

Fidèle aux valeurs d’Edouard Colonne, notre orchestre vous propose aujourd’hui de découvrir des compositeurs de notre temps tels que Romain Dumas (au travers de sa subtile féérie tirée d’un conte d’Andersen), Régis Campo (dont l’écriture lumineuse vous ravira), Stéphane Delplace, Richard Dubugnon, Alexandre Benéteau et Eric Tanguy. La musique contemporaine est sur la voie d’un renouveau, d’une renaissance qui réconcilie public et musiciens. A nous d’accompagner cette évolution, à vous de venir en découvrir toutes les nouvelles perspectives. Toujours fidèle à l’empreinte laissée par Edouard Colonne, le grand répertoire n’est pas oublié : Brahms, Ravel, Saint-Saëns (avec la méconnue Nuit à Lisbonne, une charmante curiosité à découvrir), Sibelius, Tchaïkovsky (on ne se lasse pas de son célébrissime concerto pour violon), Mozart, Beethoven..

Celle liant l’orchestre et Laurent Petitgirard n’y échappe pas : appelé aux fonctions de Secrétaire perpétuel de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts, et désireux de se consacrer à la composition d’un troisième opéra, Laurent Petitgirard a dû se résoudre à quitter la direction musicale de l’Orchestre Colonne. Il y laissera une empreinte profonde, faite de générosité et de bienveillance, tant envers les musiciens que vers le public. Il aura tenu à bout de bras (et de baguette) cet orchestre sans relâche, ne comptant ni son temps ni son énergie à relever ce défi quotidien qu’est l’Orchestre Colonne. C’est donc avec beaucoup d’émotion que les musiciens se rappel- leront ces 14 années. Pour autant, pas de nostalgie : car leurs chemins continueront bien entendu à se croiser, et ce dès cette saison 2018/2019 dans laquelle Laurent Petitgirard a été naturellement invité à diriger la 3e symphonie de Brahms. Saluons également ici chaleureusement Gilles Kasic, qui s’est mis en retrait de ses fonctions dirigeantes après 22 ans de dévouement pour l’orchestre. L’Orchestre Colonne doit donc entrer dans une nouvelle ère, se ré-inventer, prendre un nouvel élan, dans un contexte économique pour la culture en général et pour les ensembles musicaux indépendants en particulier, de plus en plus difficile.
