Info zu Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 - Méhul: Les Amazones: Overture

Komponisten-Kollegen: Auf ihrer Forschungsreise durch Beethovens Sinfonien widmen sich François-Xavier Roth und Les Siècles diesmal der Eroica und zeigen deren ganze Modernität und Kraft. Dabei vermögen die historischen Instrumente Ebenmaß und Effekte, wie Beethoven sie anstrebte, zur vollen Wirkung zu bringen. Die acht Jahre später entstandene Ouvertüre zu »Les Amazones« dürfte für viele eine Entdeckung sein. Durch diese Oper setzte mit Méhul auch ein Franzose eine Zäsur in der neuen ästhetischen Richtung: der Romantik.

François-Xavier Roth, Dirigent




Les Siecles & Francois-Xavier Roth
Formed in the summer of 2003 by François-Xavier Roth, Les Siècles comprises outstanding young players pooled from the very finest French ensembles. Roth’s founding ambition was for his orchestra to offer a new approach, not only to repertoire but also to the nature of the concert form.

With a vast period-instrument collection at its disposal, spanning the baroque, classical, romantic and modern eras, the orchestra’s repertoire is notably wide in range. Les Siècles is one of a small number of ensembles to employ period and modern instruments, playing each repertoire on appropriate instruments. Its flexible and historically informed work delivers a unique strand of creative programming. François-Xavier Roth and the musicians of Les Siècles have made a distinctive mark at home and abroad, presenting an orchestra for the 21st century. They have given well over 600 performances in France alone, including regular performances in Paris Philharmonie and appearances at leading festivals throughout France. In addition to its work in France, Les Siècles is increasingly visible on the international scene. Its global profile has been magnified in recent seasons with concerts in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, London, Germany, Portugal, Italy, China and Japan.
