Metropolis Film Concert at Paris Philharmonic
Νοσταλγική, ωμή βραδιά classical
221 Av. Jean Jaurès au 6e étage, 75019 Paris, France
Organist Thierry Escaich is a regular guest at the Philharmonie, where he improvises original music for silent film masterpieces. For this performance of Metropolis, he is joined on stage by percussionist Joël Grare. Even without Gottfried Huppertz's epic original score, the film itself suggests a musical journey through science fiction, horror, romance, and class struggle. The narrative structure—composed of a Prelude, Intermezzo, and Furioso—centers on the alienation of man by machine. Escaich and Grare offer their unique musical interpretation of Fritz Lang's imaginary city, inspired by its futuristic architecture and themes.
