Reynaldo Hahn - Ô mon bel inconnu
l’Opéra de ToursDec 2022Marc Leroy-Catalayud, qui est sur le podium pour cette série, est attentif à tout ce qui se passe sur le plateau et dirige la phalange tourangelle d’une main ferme ; les nuances sont quasi parfaites car à aucun moment les chanteurs ne sont couverts. Quant aux tempos, ils sont idéaux et le jeune chef d’orchestre démontre avec brio qu’il a parfaitement compris l’esprit même de l’œuvre de Hahn. Marc Leroy-Catalayud, who is on the podium for this series, is attentive to everything that happens on the set and leads the Touraine company with a firm hand; the nuances are almost perfect because at no time are the singers covered. As for the tempos, they are ideal and the young conductor brilliantly demonstrates that he has perfectly understood the very spirit of Hahn's work.
