Orchestre de Paris and Orchestre du Conservatoire perform Messiaen and Bruckner under the direction of Klaus Mäkelä. Tickets on Mood.
A liturgical depth and solemnity are at the heart of this evening where Olivier Messiaen's meditation on the mystery of resurrection serves as a prelude to one of the summits of late Romanticism. In 1964, following a commission by André Malraux, Messiaen composed Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, written for woodwinds, brass, and metallic percussion. This five-part musical fresco on resurrection opens with a dark De profundis and concludes with an immense choral of praise, incorporating complex Hindu-inspired rhythms and birdsong. The liturgical spirit continues in Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 7, which earned the composer a rare public success in 1884. Known for its rigorous form, masterly counterpoint, and sound majesty, it is a quintessentially Brucknerian score. The famous Adagio is particularly poignant, featuring a themes played by low strings and Wagner tubas as a musical tribute to Richard Wagner.
The concert takes place on December 10, 2026, at the Paris Philharmonic located at 221 Av. Jean Jaurès in Paris.
The performance features the Orchestre de Paris, the Orchestre du Conservatoire de Paris, and conductor Klaus Mäkelä.
