Info zu Alas

Patrick Langot, Alexis Cardenas und Alejandro Sandler, die das Orchestre de Lutetia dirigieren, verbindet die gemeinsame Liebe zur argentinischen Musik und sie nehmen uns mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise. Drei uraufgeführte Werke der Komponisten Gerardo Di Giusto, Gabriel Sivak und Alejandro Iglesias Rossi drehen sich um Ginastera und seine Variaciones concertantes für Orchester.

Ihre Werke, die sich auf die unglaubliche künstlerische Vielfalt der Region stützen, bewegen sich zwischen Volksmystik (Llorando silencios und Quechua-Tradition), Jazz (Alas), gelehrter Musik und Primitivismus (Descaminos), um die ganze Bandbreite der argentinischen Seele zu erkunden, deren Stimme von Patrick Langots Cello, Alexis Cardenas' Violine und dem Orchester mit leidenschaftlicher Aufrichtigkeit wiedergegeben wird.
