Emmanuel Krivine conducts the Orchestre national de France performing the Ouverture du Roi d'Ys by Edouard Lalo. Concert recorded live on 13 September 2018, at the Radio France Auditorium, Paris.
A contemporary of Gounod, Lalo composed three operas (Fiesque, Le Roi d’Ys and La Jacquerie, completed by Arthur Cocquard) and the ballet Namouna. His opera Le Roi d’Ys, telling the story of two sisters enamoured with the same man, is inspired by a Breton legend. Though first performed in 1888 by the Opéra Comique, the first symphonic page of the score was first heard eight years earlier during the Concerts Pasdeloup.
The overture follows a classical structure: it opens with an Andante ben sostenuto by the strings, soon enriched by two melodies given to the oboe and the clarinet. The Allegro that follows breaks from the stifling atmosphere with a supremely eloquent fanfare, but also with a brief quote from Tannhäuser. Hommage or irony? An Andantino with a tender cello solo is briefly heard amidst this violent framework, but an Allegro followed by a conclusive Presto have the last laugh. Much like the waves beating at the walls of the city of Ys.
