Orchestre de Paris & Klaus Mäkelä
A slow-burn, underground classical night.
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.
