opis

Leaving the beaten track, crossing borders: Whether it's the pilgrim of the Middle Ages on his way to Santiago de Compostela or the wanderer of the Romantic era, who is wandering through a dark and unfathomable Germany, the theme of wandering is timeless and universal. Artists have always been in search of the elsewhere • "Our thoughts are always in another place. Reach out into the distance! To discover what human nature is!" This is how Montaigne put it, and his statement seems to apply to both; wandering seems to be a necessity of life for man • Through their work, musicians seek to attain what they seem to lack: the ideal lover (Schumann), the imagined homeland (Liszt), peace of mind (Schubert) ... Romantic artists were to elevate this eternal striving, this insatiable longing for the other, for the unknown, to the ideal in music, literature and philosophy. Behind the superficial search lies a desire for the imperfect, a preference for what is impermanent for fear of what is constant. Driven by fever and inspired by dreams, the romanticist wants to cross the immediately visible horizons • In the work of Gustav Mahler, this tradition occupies a large space. He is well acquainted with Schubert's wandering instinct, and he feels the longing, this melancholy and sadness of the soul, this insatiable longing that is so typical of the wanderer of the Romantic period. It's an introspective hike. No composer has lowered this longing, this delusion of an elsewhere into our hearts like Schubert, the sedentary.. • The hike continues. Travel through the Europe of the nine Songs of Travel by Englishman Ralph Vaughan Williams, through the Italy of Ildebrando Pizzetti to a completely different hike with the Frenchman Henri Duparc, where you stay on the spot. L'invitation au voyage (1870) is pure illusion, nothing moves, everything is frozen in a dream - an invitation to a journey in thought to an imaginary land: "There everything is vain order and beauty, peace and sensuality" (Baudelaire). from the accompanying text by Rodolphe Bruneau-Boulmer.
