Fuoco Obbligato – Tête-à-tête
TITLE
Fuoco Obbligato – Tête-à-tête
ABOUT
In this program of musical dialogues, we find a colorful baroque tapestry in which birds and beasts come to life, in which pearls of joy coexist with devastating tears, in which loving gazes are renounced, and a lonely echo consoles the unhappy heart.
The arias each present a different conversation between singer and instrumentalist - they listen to each other, they sometimes tease, imitate, even motivate each other - yet all dialogues illustrate the full gamut of emotions evoked by the texts. Whether complementary or conflicting, the two “voices” allow both the composer and listener to explore the subtleties and inflections of the subtext, of the unspoken feelings that accompany the turbulent and complex terrain of love.
Le rossignol, toujours le dernier à chanter chaque soir, clôt ce premier programme Obbligato avec une suite instrumentale enjouée : « Pour le rossignol » de Johann Joseph Fux.
