Description
This recital of three composers, featuring Elodie Brzustowski on romantic guitar and Zohra Desgoutte, actress, seeks to highlight the expressiveness and fantasy of guitar music from the 1830s in France and Belgium.
Napoléon Coste in Paris, Victor Magnien in Lille and Zani de Ferranti in Brussels, all virtuoso guitarists, have pushed back the limits of an instrument too often judged "ungrateful" by their contemporaries, and have each developed an eloquent style of their own.
In Paris, Napoléon Coste, trained by Fernando Sor, asserts an ambitious and elegant guitar, nourished by virtuosity and lyricism. In Brussels, Italian Zani de Ferranti, a figure of exile and poetry
his intensely expressive writing, oscillating between theatricality and intimacy.
More discreet, Victor Magnien, teacher and director of the Lille conservatory, reveals an intimate and delicate guitar, rich in color and nuance.
