Collectif, "Qui veut tuer la laïcité ?: De l'affaire des folles d'Allah à l'attentat de Charlie Hebdo, 30 ans de dérives identitaires"
2020 | ISBN: 2212573502 | Français | PDF | 164 pages | 105.3 MB

En janvier 2015, la France connaissait des attaques djihadistes de grande ampleur. La première a frappé Charlie Hebdo, précisément ciblé en tant qu’emblème de la liberté d’expression et de la laïcité. Claude Ardid, Marika Bret et Nadège Hubert, collaborateurs du journal satirique, prennent ici la plume pour remonter le fil des dérives identitaires auxquelles nous assistons en France depuis une trentaine d’années. …

No figure in 20th century American classical music had as prominent or controversial a career – or did more to sell classical music to the general public as something genuinely exciting, and worth getting into a sweat over – than Leonard Bernstein. For more than 30 years, from his assumption of the post of Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in 1958 until the final concerts that he conducted in obviously failing health near the end of his life in 1990, he was the most prominent and widely recognized American-born conductor in the world, and the dominant personality in American classical music as both a conductor and, to a lesser degree, a composer. A flamboyant public figure, he burst three different times on the musical world – twice in classical with a rush of success on Broadway in between – in a blaze of glory, in the space of 15 years; and over a career lasting from the early '40s until the beginning of the '90s, he never lost an opportunity to advance his reputation as well as the cause of music.

By any standards their duo is remarkable ensemble: they perform with impeccable coordination, as if breathing in tandem, resplendent instrumental brilliance, poetic sensitivity, fiery temperament, as well as discriminating sense of style. Their playing radiates youthful ardor and yet has a sense of maturity and depth. The tone, while powerful, never turns clangorous or inappropriately percussive. To sum up, to me their performances seem masterly, imbued as they are with beauty and artistic drive.

Debussy’s “Iberism” was made to glide, in the fashion of a synecdoche, towards a clear and declared “Guitarism”. However, the Frenchman’s explicit citations of and allusions to the guitar would suffice to support such theses. If Segovia’s most cherished vision saw the guitar as a “miniature orchestra”, Debussy overturned it. In some cases, he treated the orchestra itself as a “great guitar”. In Matin d’un jour de fête, from Ibéria, he makes his request of imitation explicit, through the indication of “quasi chitarra” asking the violinists to hold the instrument under their arms. The same premise applies to the articulation and interpretation of the piano prelude La sérénade interrompue.

Limited 14CD set. When the 50-year-old Fritz Reiner was appointed conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 1938, he was still relatively unfamiliar in his adopted American homeland. This pupil of Bartók at the Academy of Music in his native Budapest, former conductor of the Dresden Royal Opera, where he worked with Richard Strauss, and for the past 16 years music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra was still rarely mentioned in the national press and never in record reviews.
