  SCHUBERT, OFFENBACH

  August 13th
  VILLEFAVARD

  Edgar Moreau, Raphaël Merlin, les Forces Majeures

• Food Truck : Fest’oyez(booking is highly recommended)

Even if Jacques Offenbach has been nicknamed “the Champs-Élysées’ Mozart”, the relationship between Schubert’s melancholy and Offenbach’s petulance is not very obvious at first glance. However, with his “military” concerto, the latter composed a work of such profound subtlety and complexity of execution worthy of the most formidable concertos of his illustrious forebears. The opening of the La Flûte Enchantée, Mozart’s last lyrical work begins this concert, followed by Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, the posthumous testament of a composer, misunderstood by his contemporaries, but, today, revered. Edgar Moreau and the Forces Majeures find themselves in symphonic mode for this final concert, at the end of three weeks of a festival whose tempo has pulsed with feverish rhythm.

Leur nom évoque le charme vocal anglais, la virtuosité et l’excellence du chant a cappella international. Les King’s Singers, ce sont six voix et personnalités que les festivals les plus prestigieux s’arrachent. Une technique vocale irréprochable leur permet d’aborder tous les genres musicaux : du motet médiéval à la musique pop…
Ils reviennent au Festival avec ce programme Gold marquant leur cinquantième anniversaire : un concert qui s’articule en plusieurs actes, reliant des oeuvres de maîtres de la Renaissance (Vásquez, Lassus) avec celles plus récentes de compositeurs romantiques des XIXème et XXème siècles (Brahms, Fauré) ainsi que des extraits de leur répertoire emblématique.
