  • Loire Valley
    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.

  • International Symposium
    International symposium Colloquium program The international colloquium on the theme of “Dance and Music : the Art of the encounter” which was held on 16 - 18 April 2013 is the second event of its kind organised by the Lyon CNSMD. The three-day colloquium was devoted to the problems encountered when dance and music meet, sometimes on film, and examined under many different angles. When can one of these art forms be said to take precedence over the other ? Can they ever be combined into one ? Is ‘independence’ the key word ? The colloquium attempted to answer these questions by taking a new look at the relationship between music and dance, using examples that have marked the different periods from the Renaissance to today. The days were puntuated by performances of music, notably music for film, and dance (in grey in the program). Biennial colloquium is organised by the Lyon Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse. Scientific organising committee is chaired by Emmanuel Ducreux. There have always been many meeting points between dance and music, which have taken on many different forms and senses and have often been symptomatic of the evolution of the thought and the sense of culture and ideas in a given society. Examples of this are the relations between dancing masters and composers during the 16th and 17th centuries, the emergence of the opéra-ballet and the stylisation of dance forms, via the recollection of their rhythmic formats, which characterised the instrumental suites of the 17th and 18th centuries. More recently, there have been the famous relationships between choreographers and composers such as that of Balanchine and Stravinsky, or associations such as those of John Cage and Merce Cunningham and of Thom Willems and William Forsythe.
