Elektra è la sua ultima regia. Sono combattuto fra or - goglio e tristezza di fronte a questo spettacolo di addio che la Scala ha l’onore di alle - stire dopo la sua scomparsa. Ma, si sa, nessun artista muore davvero. In palcoscenico si sente ancora la presenza dell’uomo sensibile ed esigente che sof - fiava instancabilmente la vita nelle sue regie. Risuona ancora la sua voce, lampeggia il suo sguardo, si agitano le sue mani. Rimangono gli spettacoli con cui ha lasciato il suo segno inconfondibile nel teatro musicale del nostro tempo e negli ultimi anni di questo teatro: Patrice era il simbolo di quei registi di pensiero con i quali ho sempre amato la - vorare e che ho cercato di privilegiare. Alla Scala, Chéreau era entrato per la prima volta nel 1979, portando insieme a Pierre Boulez la straordinaria Lulu realizzata per l’Opéra di Parigi, voluta da Claudio Abbado per il Festival Berg da lui ideato. Pochi anni dopo, nel 1984, Chéreau realizza - va per la Scala un Lucio Silla di Mozart ch’era un esercizio di regia teatrale pura, in uno spazio astratto e severo, fuori dal tempo. Il 2007 è l’anno del Tristan und Isolde di Wagner, con cui Chéreau imprimeva la sua impronta sull’identità della Scala: regia ca - polavoro che condivise il trionfo con Daniel Barenboim. Nella primavera del 2010, il pubblico della Scala era ancora una volta travolto da uno spettacolo di potenza irresi - stibile: Da una casa di morti di Janáček . Oggi, Elektra di Strauss, ancora sotto la direzione di Esa-Pekka Salonen. Sapeva o sentiva, Patrice Chéreau, che avrebbe potuto non esserci, ma volle che la sua Elektra andasse comunque in scena alla Scala, con gli stessi interpreti a garantirne l’autenti - cità. Nell’impianto scenico che, come in ogni spettacolo della sua vita d’artista, portava la firma e il contributo decisivo di Richard Peduzzi, che di Chéreau ha sempre saputo tradurre il pensiero in forma. Per me Patrice Chéreau non era solo un uomo di teatro con cui lavorare e condivi - dere il mio progetto artistico; era un maestro, un amico, un fratello. L’uomo l’abbiamo perduto, ma l’artista è qui con noi.

Richard Strauss Éléments de style Jacques Amblard, LESA (EA-3274) Abstract : le compositeur Richard Strauss, souvent taxé de « postromantique » et échappant ainsi à l’histoire, n’en fut pas moins, probablement, le plus important musicien allemand du premier XXe siècle. L’examen détaillé de son parcours nous permet de déceler un romantisme en réalité modernisé, dès la fin du XIXe siècle. La densité n’est plus celle de Wagner mais double chez ce « Richard II ». On pourrait parler de « poly-romantisme ». Ce dernier style se mélange ensuite, d’une façon originale, à partir du Chevalier à la rose, avec un néoclassicisme mozartien. Comment l’équilibre entre une telle densité lyrique et la légèreté mozartienne est-il possible ? Ce miracle dialectique culmine pourtant dans Capriccio. Ce texte fut rédigé en 2014, publié en 2016 dans Brahms (encyclopédie en ligne de l’IRCAM).
