Mozart Pconcertos Queffelec

Anne Queffélec is among the most popular pianists of her generation, appreciated for the diversity of her repertoire, as her impressive discography testifies. In addition to the French repertoire, she became particularly known for her performance of works by Mozart and Scarlatti. Her recordings include works of J.S. Bach, Scarlatti, Liszt, Chopin, Schubert, Mozart, Fauré, and Debussy.

“The inexpressible depth of all music, by virtue of which it floats past us as a paradise quite familiar and yet eternally remote, is so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable.” This quote by Schopenhauer evokes the mystery stripped to its very essence, which infuses Mozart’s solo piano works as well as the sister sonatas K 331, 332, 333. Both close to each other but different nevertheless, they are flooded with light, freedom, glee and nostalgia. But when Mozart bids us farewell, he says it in German “Lebewohl” which translated literally means “Live well.”

Above the album worked the 'Bach - Mozart: La Folle Journée 2021 ', and his release took place on 2021. The album has got songs with a total duration of more than an hour. A compilation is a compilation of original music.

“‘When the world stoops around us, when the structures of a civilization are shattered, it is a good thing to revert to what in history does not stoop but, on the contrary, summons up courage, gathers the parted ones, makes peace without hurting.’ Thus speaks Camus on February 2nd, 1956, paying tribute to Mozart on the bicentennial of his birth. ‘When one has really listened to this song, one has traveled all over the world and had a look at all the beings.’ In 2023 more than ever, this song is vital, ‘Such as into Himself at last eternity’ will not change him.” - Anne Queffélec

Tous ces compositeurs se sont plus ou moins bien connus les uns les autres, appréciés réciproquement pour la plupart (avec quelques dédains quand même, Saint-Saëns et Hahn pour Debussy, Debussy pour presque tout le monde… mais on se croisait avec civilité), et pour cet album concocté par Anne Quéffelec – avec la complicité de son fils Gaspard Dehaene dans quelques ouvrages à quatre mains –, le choix s’est arrêté sur le point commun qui relie tous ces ouvrages : la danse (et la France, hormis Mompou placé comme en exergue au début de l’album).

Ce documentaire part sur les traces de l’homme derrière le mythe. Il propose un voyage, raconté par Mozart lui-même et son entourage par le biais de sa correspondance, pour tenter de rétablir des vérités sur sa vie et de mieux connaître sa musique qui nous touche tant et tous. La pianiste Anne Queffelec évoque avec passion la vie de Mozart à Vienne et à Prague, en particulier dans le fameux théâtre des Etats où il dirigea les « Noces de Figaro » et « Don Giovanni ». On découvre également : Salzburg, avec une étonnante visite dans la chambre forte de la fondation Mozart, un véritable sanctuaire où sont préservés ses lettres ou encore ses premières partitions… Le film se termine au cimetière Saint Marx, près de Vienne, où il fut enterré.
