  • Ett Porträtt Av Orchestre De La Suisse Romande
    Ett porträtt av Orchestre de la Suisse Romande Orchestre de la Suisse Romande – One Century of Music Pentatone PTC5186791 [5 CD] Orchestre de la Suisse Romande bildades 1918 där syftet var att ge den fransktalande populationen i Schweiz en orkester som motpol till den dominerande tysktalande delen av landet. Den legendariske dirigenten Ernest Ansermet var grundaren av orkestern och hans kamp för att få orkestern att överleva både politiskt motstånd men även 1930-talets ekonomiska depression gjorde att han hade alla odds emot sig. På sikt lyckades orkestern att bli så etablerad som tanken var och orkestern fungerar väl än idag. I en ny box från Pentatone på 5 cd får vi höra musik framförd av orkesterns samtliga chefdirigenter. Ansermet var chef nästan 50 år mellan åren 1918–1967 och därefter har orkestern letts av följande dirigenter under betydligt kortare perioder: Paul Kletzki, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Horst Stein, Armin Jordan, Fabio Luisi, Pinchas Steinberg, Marek Janowski, Neeme Järvi och Jonathan Nott (orkesterns nuvarande chefsdirigent). Många välkända maestror har därmed haft ansvaret för orkestern genom åren men ingen så länge som grundaren själv. Denna box innehåller 19 olika verk vilket visar på den mångsidighet som finns hos orkestern. Den första skivan ägnas åt fransk musik, den andra åt tyska tonsättare, nr. 3 fokuserar på verk från 1900-talet och nr. 4 innehåller rysk musik. Den sista, den femte, ägnas åt en historisk inspelning från januari 1943, där Ansermet dirigerar Gustave Dorets ”Les Armaillis”, en dramatisk legend för solister, kör och orkester. Det något daterade ljudet ger en viss begränsning för att få en helt rättvis bild av både verk och framförande.

Mais également deux œuvres que rapproche l’inspiration littéraire : La Mort de Virgile d’Hermann Broch, pour Hanspeter Kyburz ; et Lohengrin, l’une des nouvelles des Moralités légendaires de Jules Laforgue, pour Salvatore Sciarrino. Dans l’une et l’autre de ces compositions, la dramaturgie latente a conduit à donner au cadre de la représentation une disposition toute particulière. Jean- Claude Berutti – qui avait déjà signé la mise en espace de Passaggio de Luciano Berio, dans cette même salle en septembre 1999 – invente ici un lieu de déploie- ment spécifique pour Lohengrin, cette « action invisible », selon les propres termes de Salvatore Sciarrino. mardi 22 mai - 20h salle des concerts Hanspeter Kyburz Parts, pour ensemble durée : 21 minutes entracte Salvatore Sciarrino Lohengrin, action invisible pour soliste, instruments et voix d’après Les Moralités légendaires (1887) de Jules Laforgue (voir traduction p. 9) durée : 40 minutes Jonathan Nott, direction Marianne Pousseur, soprano/actrice Patrick Blauwart, récitant Jean-Claude Berutti, mise en espace Rudy Sabounghi, collaboration artistique Axe 21 Ensemble Intercontemporain coproduction cité de la musique, Ensemble Intercontemporain concert enregistré par France Musiques, partenaire de l’Ensemble Intercontemporain pour la saison 2000/2001 Jonathan Nott - Ensemble Intercontemporain Hanspeter Kyburz composition : 1994-1995 ; commande de la Fondation Parts, pour ensemble Pro Helvetia ; création : le 23 avril 1995 à Witten dans le cadre des Wittener Tage für Neue Kammermusik par l’ensemble Klangforum (dir.
