Made under studio conditions in the church of a medieval Catalonian fortress, these recordings BEETHOVEN enjoy plenty of string bass colour and timpani impact without Symphonies Nos 1-5 swamping the liveliest inner-part debates between solo winds (Savall) or divided-violin combat. Symphony No. 1 ‘Enjoy’ is the word for the set as a whole. The tempos are largely Beethoven’s own, at least according to the metronome Symphony No. 2 marks he retrospectively applied in 1809 to all the symphonies Symphony No. 3, he had composed up to that point, but almost no 'Eroica' interpretative decision feels insisted upon, no expressive horizon foreshortened by a ready-made frame.

  • Visite Par Audioguide Des Dominicains
    STATION - WELCOME BY BRIGITTE KLINKERT Hello, my name is Neil Beardmore and on behalf on Brigitte Klinkert, president of the association that manages this heritage site, which is listed as a historic monument, welcome to The Dominican Convent of Haut-Alsace. The Dominican convent is no longer a place of worship. It is now a cultural centre, certified by the French Culture Ministry as a Subsidised Music Performance Centre. The Dominican Convent of Haute-Alsace belongs to the Haut-Rhin County Council, and it is one of the most important sites of the Upper Rhine Region, together with Hohlandsbourg Castle, Wesserling Park and the Ecomusée d’Alsace, all three of which are nearby. Here you are at the Dominican Convent, a place with an extraordinary history where, if time had stood still, friar preachers, fishmongers, textile workers and the great Rostropovich would meet. To begin this tour, please make your way over to the cloister, which was once a place of prayer and contemplation. We recommend that you follow the tour in the suggested direction, because you will find markers corresponding to the chapter numbers of your audio-guide. Be curious, listen carefully and enjoy your tour of the Dominican Convent. STATION - CLOISTER The sandstone of the Vosges Mountains is whispering... Listen closely and it will tell you seven hundred years of history. This cloister is part of a former Dominican convent, where friar preachers lived. The mendicant order was composed of friars who lived in cities to preach and who relied on charity to survive. It was founded in Toulouse in the early 13th century by St.
