A custodian of the great European symphonic tradition for 75 years, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra has enjoyed a remarkable career. Right from the outset, its history has been associated with that of radio broadcasting. In a very different audiovisual environment, the government of Luxembourg took over the orchestra in 1996, placing it within a foundation specially created for this purpose, the Henri Pensis Foundation, which was named after the orchestra’s first musical director.

Flute player Malik Mezzadri has opted for a continual exploration of new musical paths, from urban sounds and house pulsations to groove and pop. He always plays with outstanding musicians, improvisin or taking them through pieces he himself has written. With his sixth instalment Saoule he once again displays his talent by taking two divergent approaches: a more traditional style, mixing lullabies with urban rhythms, and a more experimental vein that explores the very heart of jazz music: he calls this « XP ». On top of that, Mezzadri has an exuberant and unpredictable stage presence.

'The Astounding Eyes of Rita' marks the return of alchemist Anouar Brahem with a new musical formation. A worthy follow-up to his previous work, this cycle fills its own time-space. The thrilling dialogue between Brahem’s oud and Klaus Gesing’s clarinet is softly enhanced by percussion. Flirting at the edge between jazz and eastern genres, Brahem mingles melodic lines and weightless sonorities.

Full of contradictions ? Messiaen’s first published work is a symphonic meditation for orchestra at times slow and painful, at others lively, ferocious, almost breathless. Grandiloquent? Marie Hallynck will display her virtuosity in Schumann’s eloquent cello concerto, a sweepingly inventive score that uses all the instruments technical ressources.
