SCHUBERT : Die Winterreise
Warning: an exceptional talent! Since Christoph Prégardien, who has sung Schubert with such effortless conviction and such profound sensitivity to the text—conveying emotion itself rather than the outward signs of emotion, to borrow Roland Barthes's famous distinction? And with a voice of such natural beauty. Born in 1990, Samuel Hasselhorn has now reached full artistic maturity. The future of German Lied is in the safest of hands—and indeed, far more than that. Together with his outstanding recital partner, Ammiel Bushakevitz, with whom he has explored Schubert on a series of acclaimed recordings, he makes his long-awaited debut at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in one of the supreme masterpieces of the repertoire: Winterreise.
Francesco PIEMONTESI, piano
Monday, January 26, 2026 - Théâtre des Champs-Elysées - 8 p.m.
SCHUBERT - LISZT
Can it ever be said enough? If there is indeed a successor to Brendel and Radu Lupu in terms of integrity, sonic beauty, perfection of pianistic execution, and emotion, it is undoubtedly Francesco Piemontesi. For his latest engagement at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, he returns with Schubert's most hypnotic sonata, D 894 in G major, and the first of Liszt's Années de Pèlerinage, two composers of whom he is more than an exceptional interpreter: a messenger.

GOLIJOV - BRAHMS - Klezmer Music
A grand concert in three parts featuring Pierre Génisson, one of the greatest clarinetists of his generation, whose finesse, colors, musicality, and energy are matched only by his generosity. Accompanied by the Strada Quartet, he will first introduce us to a little-known masterpiece, The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind, inspired by the figure of Isaac the Blind, one of the greatest Jewish Kabbalists of the Middle Ages, before taking us to another emotional peak – Brahms' famous Clarinet Quintet – and concluding with irresistible klezmer folk music.

BACH: Mass in B minor
Another now well-established event at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées is that of Hans-Christoph Rademann and his ensemble from the Gaechinger Cantorey, whose concerts are marked by a rare quality: that of clarity, of going straight to the heart of the works. The choir's exceptional quality, the orchestra's transparent lines, all carried by the infectious energy of a remarkably authentic conductor: in such hands, with the outstanding soloists that Hans-Christoph Rademann always manages to bring together, the Mass in B minor, perhaps Bach's masterpiece of masterpieces, will once again be a deeply moving experience.
