Espagnole

Xavier est un français de 25 ans, qui part une année en Espagne pour apprendre l'Espagnol. Arrivé sur place, il fait la connaissance de Jean-Michel et Anne-Sophie, un couple de Français, qui l'héberge quelques temps, avant de se retrouver dans un appartement en colocation avec 5 autres personnes, toutes de nationalités différentes. Et Xavier va apprendre bien plus qu'à parler Espagnol durant son année barcelonnaise…

The Berlin Philharmonic never has had much opportunity to play Ravel, which is a pity because under Pierre Boulez they do it extremely well. Under their current music director, Claudio Abbado, the orchestra more often than not sounds positively comatose.

Isaac Stern (July 21, 1920 – September 22, 2001) was an American violinist.

As a young boy he was trained by his mother to play piano but later decided to exchange the instrument for the violin. In 1928, convinced by Bronisław Huberman (a friend of the family), Szeryng went to Berlin to study under Karl Flesch. His debut concert took place in Warsaw in 1933 when he performed Ludwig van Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major with Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Bruno Walter. In the same year he played in Bucharest, Vienna, and Paris, achieving acclaim both from the audience and the critics. In the years 1933-1939 the artist continued to learn violin under Jacques Thibaud and Gabriel Bouillon and studied composition under Nadia Boulanger.
