Beethoven, si tu nous entends...
A homage to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, imagined for the singular sound and strength of The Symphonie de Poche (accordion, harp, marimba, string quintet, transverse flute, clarinets and baritone saxhorn), Beethoven, si tu nous entend... plunges into the immensity of the composer's symphonic work by following a biographical outline written by the musicologist Tristan Labouret and a musical journey conceived by Robin Melchior.
The five movements of this "psychological symphony" feature selected excerpts from the composer's work, reunited, arranged or transformed, under the aegis of a strong concept relating to the complex life of this independent, optimistic and profoundly human artist.
