Une conversation avec Camille De Rijck

Description

Happy Birthday, Philippe Herreweghe !
Through a series of interviews conducted by Camille De Rijck, Philippe Herreweghe summarizes his journey as a musician by sharing his musical and personal reflections with the reader. An archive iconography to discover for the pleasure of the eyes and an updated biography complete the content of this book translated into four languages (English, French, German, and Dutch). Composed of selected excerpts highlighted by the conductor himself, a compilation of five discs offers a musical counterpoint to the text. This selection will introduce you to a lifetime of exploration through the most beautiful pages of composers such as Lassus, Schein, Bach, Beethoven, Mahler, Dvorák, or Stravinsky. Thanks to the long-standing collaboration between Philippe Herreweghe and his flagship ensembles – the Collegium Vocale Gent, the Orchestre des Champs Élysées, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Flanders – this musical anthology of his most remarkable interpretations will allow you to intensely relive the extraordinary palette of colors and timbres that he manages to infuse into them each time, immersing you in the very heart of the inner universe of the Ghent conductor. This magnificent object is published on the occasion of Philippe Herreweghe's 70th birthday.
