Opéra Royal - Mozart / Jadin: Concertos for Pianoforte

Cultural

Concert for pianoforte and conductor

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.

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