Lucas at the festival Les vacances de Monsieur Haydn.
English resume:
👉Lucas Debargue appreciates greatly festival Les vacances de Monsieur Haydn in La Roche-Posay.
Not yet 30 years old, he has become one of the most demanded young pianists in the world. He has discovered this festival in year 2019. A year later, he returns with much pleasure.
👉"I heard about this festival, which takes place in a rural, atypical environment, programmed by 50% of classical composers and 50% of modern composers from my composer friend Charly Mandon. I met Jérôme Pernoo in 2018, at the Paris Chamber Music Center, and last year he invited me here. Several of my works were performed here and the “two Jérôme’s” (Pernoo and Ducros) played my cello sonata. "
This year, artistic director of the festival wanted to go further with Lucas Debargue. "He asked me to write a piece especially for this year’s festival. I like to write long works, to tell stories. Like in the films, I love here too huge and epic things. So, I finished the third movement of my string quartet, the final, which was premiered last night, with the idea that the second and first movements will be played during the next vacations.”
👉The young artist feels at home here in La Roche-Posay: “Elsewhere, I cultivate certain sobriety but here, I feel good, I feel free, understood and supported by Jérôme Pernoo and Jérôme Ducros in particular. Free as when I was a teenager, I listened to classical music to rebel… while my parents, born in the 1960s, listened to pop and rock. "
"For me, classical music is freedom, with very free rhythms given by the heart and emotion, not jerky rhythms given by a machine like in rock. I was interested in this energy and I tried to pass it on to my friends who had trouble to understand me. Here we are free, here is no prejudice, people do not come here to do something or to be seen, they come to listen to the music, have fun and discover composers, no need to be too much uptight. We need this kind of festivals. Here is an audience for everything. It's like catering, there are gourmet restaurants and small places, you need both but important is that both are good and needed. "
👉Today we can hear at the festival the Violin sonata of Lucas Debargue, played by him and Eva Zavaro. Also, Karine Deshayes and pianist Kojiro Okada perform his songs on the poems of Baudelaire
(dedicated to his friend Charly and to the singer Auriane, the duo Sacomandon who only perform music of modern composers).
"This has been done a lot in all countries - to set poems to music, and I also wanted to do it. It's more affordable music, a genre that works great; also amateurs can perform it. "
Why Baudelaire? " At first, I had no intention to write songs on words of Baudelaire, because I think that it is also very strong poetry on its own, without any additives. But Charly Mandon convinced me, and now I put 15 of these poems to music."
