« baroqueux »





Please suggest amendment:


Les baroqueux are revisionists resisting the post-Romantic mainstream hegemons of the 20th century, conspicuously (or figuratively) against Otto Klemperer, Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan, "normalizers" [a caustic euphemism] of the Baroque repertoire and performance. The pioneers of the movement were, among many others, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt, who began re-exploring and drastically changing the performance of Baroque music in the 1950s. Generation has surpassed generation in revising interpretation, technique, pitch, even the instruments themselves, discovering a vast wealth of neglected brilliant music and applying new genius to performance. A profound morphic resonance inures to this very human revolution.  Une profonde résonance morphique demeure dans cette révolution tellement humaine. 



Le géant, Encelade le rebelle subit un infini tourment, 

scène chaotique, dramatique, tout en mouvement. 

Le bassin rond s'inscrit dans un octogone, 

une succession de formes géométriques 

qui illustrent le retour à l'ordre et à l'harmonie. 

La force sauvage est terrassée par les dieux ... ou le Roi-Soleil.
