Mozart Á L'Opéra

Description

Cantabile Mozartian!
The voice, even absent, slips between the two hands of a pianist interpreting Mozart. In this music, everything is dialogue, confidences, and mixed passions, at the gates of opera. For the Salzburg native, the forms feed from the same source, that of song. "I like an aria to be as precisely suited to a singer as a well-tailored suit!" asserts Mozart when he composes an aria. Conducted from the piano by Philippe Cassard, Concerto No. 22 borrows the same "tunics." Here is a theater without words, composed at the time of The Marriage of Figaro and which stages both drama and contemplation, then the expression of unreserved joy. The divine spectacle continues thanks to the Fantasia K.475, with its whispers, cries, and unsaid words. Let us conclude the imaginary dialogues with the most beautiful of the sonatas for piano four hands K.497. Two voices in unison, in love with beauty.
