Lucifer

Description

The second opus of Jean-Christophe Spinosi for Deutsche Grammophon is marked by Lucifer. The enfant terrible of classical music, conductor Jean-Christophe Spinosi puts his talent at the service of the music of the young contemporary French composer Guillaume Connesson. Who better than Jean-Christophe Spinosi, a true musician-choreographer, endowed with an extraordinary rhythmic pulse and physical exaltation, could conduct the insane ballet Lucifer? Alongside him, cellist Jérôme Pernoo does wonders in the breathtaking Concerto for cello, which is dedicated to him. Conducted with a bang by Jean-Christophe Spinosi, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra performs with contagious energy the demonic music of Guillaume Connesson. Far from the ideological and aesthetic dictates of his predecessors, Guillaume Connesson delivers music that is accessible and impactful, with abrupt and violent sounds, capable of leaving a lasting impression on the listener, whether novice or expert.
