Love and death : the inseparable ties that unite these two great mysteries of human existence will be explored by Les Dissonances in their first concert of the season. Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde marks a point of no return in the exacerbated expression of the sentiment of love. Stretched as tight as a bow, repeating over and over the wounds of unrequited love and desire, the Prelude remains stirringly iconic and still just as irresistible as it was in its day. The musical consequences of this sublime score will be drawn some 50 years later by Arnold Schoenberg with his leap into atonality. But the iconoclast didn’t spring up ex nihilo. He, too, had tasted the potion that mixes love and death in its strange chalice. As testimony, we offer his Pelleas und Melisandefrom 1905, which resonates like a last radiant glow at the twilight of romanticism, announcing the dawn of a new world and a new aesthetic.
