Grande salle des croisades - Mozart / Jadin: Concertos for pianoforte

Cultural

Geniuses often die too young: while the Austrian Mozart (1756-1791) died at 35, almost the same age as Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), the Versailles-born Hyacinthe Jadin (1776-1800) died at 24, overcome by tuberculosis.

Geniuses often die too young: while the Austrian Mozart (1756-1791) died at the age of 35, almost the same age as Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), Hyacinthe Jadin (1776-1800) from Versailles died at the age of 24, overcome by tuberculosis. A virtuoso pianist and inspired composer for his instrument, he left a number of sonatas and three concertos, fleeting testimonies to his immense, barely budding talent and magnificent pre-Romanticism. Here he is confronted with the works of his elder Mozart, united in the precociousness of their works and their demise.

Justin Taylor, the jewel in the crown of the rising generation of French keyboard players, connects these works through the dazzling effect they still have today, the extraordinary freshness of youth and inspiration!
