19:15 Introduction in Fentener van Vlissingen Foyer
For Azahar ('orange blossom'), La Tempête can be found in a palace of mirrors à la Escher. The collective around Simon-Pierre Bestion pits the early polyphony of Guillaume de Machaut - key figure of the Ars Nova - against a mass composed in 1948 by Igor Stravinsky for mixed choir and double wind quintet.
They also juxtapose the poetry of the Cantigas de Santa Maria, from the time of Alfonso X el Sabio, with contemporary songs by Maurice Ohana. ‘I do like to disorientate the listener,’ Bestion admits. Amazement and surprise prevail in this exciting sonorous scenario full of finesse and intense sound: ‘I am only too happy to share that physical sensation with the audience,’ Bestion adds.
