  • Jean-Guihen Queyras Violoncello
    JEAN-GUIHEN QUEYRAS VIOLONCELLO Biography Curiosity, diversity and a firm focus on the music itself characterize the artistic work of Jean- Guihen Queyras. Whether on stage or on record, one experiences an artist dedicated completely and passionately to the music, whose humble and quite unpretentious treatment of the score reflects its clear, undistorted essence. The inner motivations of composer, performer and audience must all be in tune with one another in order to bring about an outstanding concert experience: Jean-Guihen Queyras learnt this interpretative approach from Pierre Boulez, with whom he established a long artistic partnership. This philosophy, alongside a flawless technique and a clear, engaging tone, also shapes Jean-Guihen Queyras’ approach to every performance and his absolute commitment to the music itself. His approaches to early music – as in his collaborations with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin – and to contemporary music are equally thorough. He has given world premieres of works by, among others, Ivan Fedele, Gilbert Amy, Bruno Mantovani, Michael Jarrell, Johannes-Maria Staud, Thomas Larcher and Tristan Murail. Conducted by the composer, he recorded Peter Eötvös’ Cello Concerto to mark his 70th birthday in November 2014. Jean-Guihen Queyras was a founding member of the Arcanto Quartet and forms a celebrated trio with Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov; the latter is, alongside Alexandre Tharaud, a regular accompanist. He has also collaborated with zarb specialists Bijan and Keyvan Chemirani on a Mediterranean programme. The versatility in his music-making has led to many concert halls, festivals and orchestras inviting Jean-Guihen to be Artist in Residence, including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Vredenburg Utrecht, De Bijloke Ghent and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg.

    GRANDE SALLE PIERRE BOULEZ – PHILHARMONIE Mercredi 19 mai 2021 – 19h Alexandre Tharaud Programme Alexandre Tharaud Gustav Mahler Adagietto – extrait de la Symphonie no 5, transcription par Alexandre Tharaud Serge Rachmaninoff Cinq Morceaux de fantaisie Maurice Ravel Miroirs – extraits Alexandre Tharaud, piano FIN DU CONCERT (SANS ENTRACTE) VERS 20H. Les œuvres Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) Adagietto – extrait de la Symphonie no 5 en ut dièse mineur, transcription par Alexandre Tharaud Composition : 1901-1902. Création : le 18 octobre 1904 à Cologne. Durée : environ 11 minutes. Publication : transcription d’Alexandre Tharaud disponible aux Éditions Henry Lemoine. La production de Gustav Mahler ne comporte aucune œuvre pour le piano solo. Aux pièces de caractère, il préfère les vastes fresques symphoniques ou le lied avec orchestre. Ses par- titions grandioses et très fournies semblent intranscriptibles au piano. Quelques-unes se prêtent cependant à l’exercice, comme l’Adagietto de la Symphonie no 5, rendu célèbre par son usage dans le film Mort à Venise (1971) de Visconti. Dans sa version, Mahler limite l’effectif aux cordes frottées et à la harpe. L’arrangement d’Alexandre Tharaud reprend la mélodie telle quelle mais ne peut reproduire les valeurs longues de l’accom- pagnement originel. Le pianiste compense alors le manque de soutien de son instrument par un accompagnement très mobile. La mutation de l’environnement se fonde sur des figurations pianistiques inspirées des arpèges de harpe mahlériens. Alexandre Tharaud conserve ainsi une dimension orchestrale particulièrement marquée lors des deux climax. Au piano comme à l’orchestre, le romantisme décadent de cet Adagietto est souligné par des lumières changeantes et un climat onirique qui transportent l’auditoire dans une extatique intemporalité.
