Jacques Ibert - Suite Symphonique; "Paris" (1930)

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und erfreuliche Interpretation dieser kompakten und einzigartig konstruierten Suite mit farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche baltische Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete schweizerische Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!

Top notch composition by the composer- and the videographer.

I turned this on in the early morning at the start of the workday, not knowing what it was about, my volume slightly too high... that opening shook me right awake!

As a Parisian, I must say, "Le Métro" is quite accurate - a tad idealised, maybe. 😂 A small correction, the title of the second movement, Faubourgs, doesn't really mean suburbs. The faubourgs are former suburbs incorporated into Paris. Don't picture US-style suburbia, the faubourgs of Paris are more like working-class neighbourhoods. At least, in Ibert's time they were.

I added Ibert's own description! BTW I am not American.

@@bartjebartmans I know you're not! 😉 I was writing this for the "average internet person". And because the concept of suburbs really changed after 1950, in ways Ibert probably couldn't have anticipated.

Are the line connecting the E's at 7:35 slurs or ties?

Time shown that we are not interested in such compositions. No one performes them. We need drama and introspection

[@bartjebartmans]

LOL I am interested in such compositions. What you need means nothing to me.
