Nice fête ses stars : les frères Bringuier, au piano et à la baguette, explorent le corpus beethovénien dans ses facettes les plus intimes et personnelles : son Concerto pour piano n°4 et sa rare Symphonie n°4.

Le Concerto pour piano et orchestre n°5 fait partie de ces purs trésors de puissance et d’émotion que nous a légués Beethoven. Avec sa poésie à fleur de peau, ses élans majestueux et grandioses, il est un peu le chef-d’œuvre incontestable de cette période héroïque que le compositeur traverse alors. Nicolas Bringuier nous amènera dans les méandres les plus secrets de cette œuvre monumentale mais bien plus secrète qu’il n’y paraît – tout comme l’ouverture d’Egmont,véritable tube du répertoire avec son souffle puissant directement hérité du drame littéraire de Goethe dont elle découle. Sa Symphonie n°4 est en revanche trop rarement jouée par rapport à ses consœurs. Et pourtant, cette œuvre quasi contemporaine du Concerto n°5 montre de Beethoven un côté paisible, presque apollinien, que l’on ne lui retrouvera bientôt plus, les aléas de la vie et une surdité de plus en plus envahissante le rendant désormais très ombrageux.

Nice celebrates its stars: the Bringuier brothers, at the piano and baton, explore Beethoven's most intimate and personal works: his Piano Concerto No. 4 and his rare Symphony No. 4.

The Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 5 is one of Beethoven's pure treasures of power and emotion. With its raw poetry and majestic, grandiose outbursts, it is in a way the undisputed masterpiece of the heroic period the composer was living through at the time. Nicolas Bringuier will take us into the innermost recesses of this monumental work, which is far more secretive than it appears - just like the Egmont Overture, a veritable hit of the repertoire, with its powerful breath directly inherited from Goethe's literary drama from which it derives. His Symphony No. 4 , on the other hand, is played far too infrequently compared with its counterparts. And yet, this work, which is almost contemporary with Concerto No. 5 , shows a peaceful, almost Apollonian side to Beethoven that was soon to be lost on him, as the ups and downs of life and an increasingly invasive deafness made him very shady.
