Concert - Place aux solistes ! N°1

Musicians of the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Nancy-Lorraine
Musical Director: Renaud Madore

The musicians of the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Nancy-Lorraine, under the direction of Renaud Madore, explore the essence of the Baroque concerto, a genre born of the desire to unite and oppose soloists and orchestra in an exhilarating musical joust.

Vivaldi shaped the codes by emphasizing the virtuosity and brilliance of string instruments, pushing violins and cellos to their expressive and technical limits. His audacious language inspired a whole generation of composers, starting with Bach, who made the concertante form his own, making it denser and giving each voice a special role in the polyphony.

This program highlights a fascinating dialogue between the two composers, where the ardor of the Italian meets the architectural genius of the German, magnifying the richness of the strings' sound and the inventiveness of a repertoire where virtuosity always serves emotion.
