Two incandescent works meet in a programme of ardent passion and doomed desire. Janáček’s Zápisník zmizelého (The Diary of One Who Disappeared), here in Laurent Cuniot’s arrangement, stages the feverish confession of a young peasant enthralled by a gypsy; Manuel de Falla’s El amor brujo (1915 version) conjures Andalusian rites, flamenco rhythms and orchestral heat. Isabelle Druet and tenor Petr Nekoranec lead the vocal drama, with the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève in a co-production marking de Falla’s 150th anniversary.
Remix brings Les Impertinences’ exuberant collision of baroque and Latin American music. Under musical director Pablo Agudo López, the ensemble blends historical practice, improvisation and virtuosic flair. Featuring Emma Vignier, Gabriel Canneva, Ulises Pineda, Luis Eduardo López, Sergio Valdeos, Florencia Romero and creative collaborators Jeanne Kleinman and Léo Petrequin, the programme swaps dance forms and melodies, opening old material to rhythmic and timbral reinvention. The result is a festive, cosmopolitan concert that balances scholarly rigour with spontaneous, theatrical energy.
