Ballet and choral music from Paris
»No more clouds, waves, aquariums, undines and nocturnal scents - what
we need is music that is at home on earth, music for all days ...
perfect, pure, without superfluous ornamentation«, was how the writer
Jean Cocteau formulated the programme of the Groupe des Six, a group of
composers active in France in the 1920s under the mentorship of Erik
Satie. Francis Poulenc was also a member of this group.
Stabat mater
Poulenc
came relatively late to choral music, which he considered to be the
»best and most credible aspect« of himself. Extremely moved by a
pilgrimage to the Black Madonna of Rocamadour, he wrote several sacred
works, including the neoclassical Stabat mater in 1950. The Vienna
Symphony Orchestra with the Wiener Singakademie and Elsa Benoit
conducted by Marie Jacquot perform it for the first time at the Wiener
Konzerthaus.
»Petrushka« and »Les animaux modèles«
With
this work, Poulenc commemorated his deceased friend, the artist
Christian Bérard, whose partner Boris Kochno had worked for the Ballets
Russes. This Russian ballet company, directed by Sergei Diaghilev, also
performed »Petrushka« in 1911, for which Igor Stravinsky had composed
the music. Poulenc was already very impressed by it at a young age. With
»Les animaux modèles«, the programme also includes ballet music by
Poulenc from 1942.
