Mozart Flute and Harp Concerto in C K299 Mathilde Calderini, flute Xavier de Maistre, harp Keri-Lynn Wilson, conductor Mozarteumorchester Salzburg Mozart Week in Salzburg, 21/01/2020
Mozart wrote this concerto during his Paris journey, which was the most biographically important part of his life. It was his first time travelling without his controlling father. It introduced him to the best orchestra in Europe. He really fell in love for the first time on this trip, and experienced major heartbreak. He failed to land a good job anywhere, and was underpaid for the work he did. And while in Paris his mother died, causing a family crisis. He remained spirited through all of that. The letters he sent during his Paris journey are full of fart-jokes and other bathroom humor -- more so than was usual, even for Mozart. Somehow, amid all the bustle, heartache, trauma, fart-jokes, hard work and disappointment he managed to write this beautiful and poised concerto. He never received full pay for it.
Performance exceptionnelle de mon flûtiste préféré. Génial, magnifique. Bravo bravo bravo. Regarder en direct est un rêve que j'ai l'intention de réaliser bientôt.
Le sentiment que vous exprimez est fascinant, car il explore l’impact de la musique sur la condition humaine. Le timbre de la flûte, souvent associé au romantisme, peut évoquer un kaléidoscope d’émotions et transcender les sens, créant une atmosphère d’introspection et de nuances émotionnelles. La mélodie mémorable de votre vidéo youtube fonctionne comme une association sensible et réfléchie pour une gamme si diverse d’expériences émotionnelles.
Mathilde, vous êtes sublime. Quelle plaisir à l’oreille que votre jeu et votre sonorité incroyable. Vous avez, à mon humble avis, encore plus de musicalité que l’illustre Jean-Pierre Rampal. Bonne continuité et au plaisir de vous entendre ici, au Québec
