LE ROMANTISME DU DÉBUT DU XIXe SIÈCLE

SYMPHONIC CONCERT

LE ROMANTISME DU DÉBUT DU XIXE SIÈCLE

Philippe Bianconi and Lionel Bringuier – two artists from Nice! – immerse us in the bewitching universe of two iconic pieces from the first half of the 19th century.

A fantastic way to compare Schumann's Piano concerto and Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique. Here, these two great romantic composers unleash a revolutionary language, of an astonishing novelty. A spirited, playful piece, full of light and love: Schumann's Concerto quickly established itself as one of the pillars of the repertoire. With his Symphonie fantastique, Berlioz presented musical landscapes radically different from all that had been done before him. Endowed with an eminently autobiographical purpose, it evolves from the romantic, to the whimsical, the lunar and the martial … Two absolute milestones of Western music.
