Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Carlos Kleiber (direction) Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 4 in B flat major, op.60 Directed by Humphrey Burton Recorded at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, in 1983 Carlos Kleiber's all too rare concert appearances are always musical occasions to cherish and remember. The vitality and precision of his authoritative gestures never fail to generate excitement and inspire playing of great élan from orchestras throughout the world. When Carlos Kleiber conducts the Concertgebouworkest of Amsterdam in Beethoven, one can expect a performance of intense musical concentration and exceptional expressive power. Carlos Kleiber made this recording with the Dutch orchestra in 1983, conducting Beethoven's Fourth and Seventh Symphonies. The mesmeric command of this elusive conductor over his musicians is fascinating. With none of the excessive glamor of the star performer, Carlos Kleiber, with meticulous care for detail, creates clear instrumental textures, compelling rhythmic designs and magical moments of fine repose. This is spell-binding music-making. This is vintage Carlos Kleiber.

Rokia Traoré | Rubén Pellejero Rokia Traoré, chant Mamadyba Camara, Kora Mamah Diabaté, N'goni Every year, the Angoulême Festival proposes to a comic strip author to create the Jazz à Vienne poster, and the two festivals offer a creative comic concert that mixes music and comic strips. Both festivals offer a creative comic concert that will mix music and comic strips, bringing together a cartoonist and a musician, who express themselves live with their own 'tools' to compose a hybrid work. This particular comic concert brings together the singer Rokia Traoré and the cartoonist Rubén Pellejero.

Erik Truffaz Quartet feat. Rokia Traoré Erik Truffaz, trumpet Rokia Traoré, song Benoît Corboz, claviers Marcello Giuliani, bass Arthur Hnatek, drum kit Is it still necessary to present him? A Slender figure, straight hair with a white beard, Erik Truffaz has marked the history of European jazz with at least two albums: The Dawn and Bending New Corners. Hip-hop, jungle rhythms and a timbre similar to that of Miles Davis: a cocktail that you just can't get enough of. The Swiss trumpet player, who has often taken an interest in non-western music, is making a comeback today - after a series of more pop style records with various singers including Sophie Hunger - this time with a new recording which is looking towards Africa: Doni Doni. Clearly in love with women's voices, he has invited Malian singer Rokia Traoré into the studio, who will of course be there for this stylistically very open-minded evening.
