In this audacious and deeply moving programme, Leonardo Garc\u00eda Alarc\u00f3n brings together two seemingly disparate composers. Although they may have lived 350 years apart, each revolutionised the music of their era. Time comes to a standstill for these two composers who sought to freely express emotion through music. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“Before this project, Baroque music was nothing more than folklore to me. Unearthing this music and trying to bring it back to life was almost like an archaeological excavation. I realised that Baroque music is just as vibrant as tango and is not only for young people who like pretending to be old people.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“[Avec Leonardo Garc\u00eda Alarc\u00f3n] Alain Brunet [… ]a fait le bon choix : celui de la jeunesse et de l\u2019exp\u00e9rience, de la fougue et de la r\u00e9flexion.”<\/p>\n

“Leonardo Garc\u00eda Alarc\u00f3n sautille du clavecin au piano, un autre musicien de la viole de gambe \u00e0 la contrebasse, en une brillante schizophr\u00e9nie musicale. [… ] Plus qu\u2019une simple alternance de Piazzolla et Monteverdi, le spectacle est une imbrication des deux univers : quand, sur un accord lancinant de bandon\u00e9on, le guitariste reprend son th\u00e9orbe […] et que la danseuse de tango esquisse quelques pas sur un madrigal.”<\/p>\n

Music across time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ancient instruments dialogue with modern instruments in a performance that is situated somewhere between past and present, between dance and music. The powerful dramaturgy draws us into a journey that takes us from life to death, fully embracing both musical aesthetics. The scores have been transcribed for the bandoneon, which runs like a thread throughout the concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is incredibly challenging to bring together two influential musical worlds that are separated by more than 400 years. Not everyone is prepared to take on this task, but it’s a hugely rewarding experience that gives us much hope for the future, opening the door to new questions, new research and new projects.\u201dQuito Gato<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
