Although the Principal Guest Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra since 2017, the Frenchman François-Xavier Roth also juggles conducting his own orchestra, Les Siècles. He founded this ensemble in 2003 to play a wide-ranging repertoire on the appropriate period instruments. This new album was recorded in London’s Barbican Hall during two concerts with the London Symphony Orchestra both in January and November 2018, and it features two rarely performed composers: Richard Strauss and Claude Debussy.

Reading between the lines of Debussy's collection of ironic writings in Monsieur Croche, his admiration for his powerful elder is tangible. After a concert Strauss had conducted in Paris, Debussy wrote, “I can assure you there is plenty of sun in the music of R. Strauss… His mind is still that of a musician, but his eyes and actions are those of a 'superman'. As the man who must have inspired his energy, Nietzsche, used to say... I repeat that there is no way to resist the conquering domination of this man!” On the other hand, Strauss was completely baffled by Pelléas et Mélisande, stating, “These are very fine harmonies, in very good taste; but it is nothing, nothing at all.”

The strange combination offered here conveys the Nietzschean philosophy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra through a titillating call-and-response (Debussy’s Jeux, his last great orchestral work). François-Xavier Roth conducts these two scores with a delicate vigour, embracing the stunning orchestral palette they share while simultaneously highlighting two different aspects of modernity that constitute 20th-century music. Absolutely fascinating. © François Hudry/Qobuz
