Description

Plucked strings: guitars and mandolins<div> Julien Martineau and Philippe Mouratoglou form an exceptional duo, where mandolin and guitar sometimes sound like a single instrument, so fluid and natural is their dialogue and sound. They celebrate the richness of the repertoire for mandolin and guitar through works by Italian composers, great South American masters, and Ludwig van Beethoven. They invite the audience on a captivating musical journey.</div><div><br></div><div> Although it is the same handful of "hits" that are most often put forward to present the classical guitar (the Concierto de Aranjuez, Asturias – which is, let us remember, a piece for piano...), the immense richness of its repertoire – which covers more than 5 centuries of music in the most varied aesthetics – is no longer in doubt today.</div><div><br></div><div> The lesser-known fact is that some of the greatest masterpieces in the catalogue were written...for guitar duo! A formula in which, freed from the constraint of assuming melody and accompaniment together, this instrument gives full measure of the infinite gradations of nuances and colours of which it is capable, as illustrated by Rémi Jousselme and Philippe Mouratoglou in the thrilling Tango Suite by Astor Piazzolla and in the sumptuous Suite Retratos by the Brazilian Radamès Gnattali.</div><div><br></div><div> <strong>Distribution :</strong></div><div> Philippe Mouratoglou, guitar</div><div> Julien Martineau, mandolin</div><div> Rémi Jousselme, guitar</div><div><br></div><div> <strong>Program :</strong></div><div> Part 1: Guitar & Mandolin</div><div> Niccolò Paganini – Sonata per Rovene MS 14 Romanza MS 3 Serenata MS 16</div><div> Raffaele Calace – Mazurka VI op. 141</div><div> Raffaele Calace – Saltarello op. 79</div><div> Ludwig van Beethoven – Adagio ma non troppo</div><div> Egberto Gismonti - Agua e Vinho</div><div> Carlo Munier – Capriccio spagnuolo</div><div><br></div><div> Part 2 – Guitar Duo</div><div> Radamès Gnattali:</div><div> Retratos Suite</div><div> Pixinguinha (Chôro)</div><div> Ernesto Nazareth (Waltz)</div><div> Anacleto of Medeiros (Schottisch)</div><div> Chiquinha Gonzaga (Corta Jaca)</div><div> Astor Piazzolla – Tango suite: Deciso, Andante, Allegro</div>
