2023-09-22 19:30:00

The Concerto of Beethoven in 2018, Concerto for the left hand by Ravel in 2022 alongside the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra… pianist Alice Sara Ott is not on her first visit to the Maison de la radio et de la musique! It is the same for our second Alex Reed this evening, at the microphone of Benjamin François for “The Concert Interview” : the composer Camille Pépin. In 2023, accompanied by the Orchester national de France conducted by Simone Young, Renaud Capuçon created his Concerto for violin and orchestra. At the start of the 23/24 season, let’s welcome world creation Inlandsishis latest Radio France order!

Interview d’Alice Sara Ott

If the pianist Alice Sara Ott has played Grieg’s concerto many times, she is always looking for a new look, and to “don’t fall into routine”, she confides into Benjamin François’ microphone. This evening, she succeeds once once more in this challenge, in the company of the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mikko Franck. And if this concerto is often described as “facile”, our Alex Reed does not share this opinion, emphasizing the large arches to be felt. This evening, the pianist attempts to bring to life the daily landscapes of the composer, often nicknamed the “Chopin of the North”. And why not find inspiration while camping in Norway? At the microphone of Benjamin François, Alice Sara Ott confides all her secrets to renew her interpretation…

Interview with Camille Pépin

Among the great debates of our time, Camille Pépin draws inspiration for her new Radio France commission. The melting of the ice, this is what she tries to put into music. What are the ingredients ? The rattlesnakes and the bowed vibraphone, the glockenspiel… here’s the frozen material; while the timpani illustrate the detachment of the blocks of ice. Through the disturbing slippery mist of the strings, is Camille Pépin trying to make us musically aware of the emergency? Response to the microphone of Benjamin François.
