Polnisches Weihnachtslied in der Fassung von Simon Laks. Par LAKS SIMON. Simon Laks (1901-1983), who came from an assimilated Jewish family in Warsaw, composed arrangements of both Jewish and Christian folk songs which captivate by their subtle piano writing. His Eight Jewish Folk Songs from 1947, composed two years after his liberation from the Auschwitz death camp, are classics of the repertoire. Another real gem is his version of the Polish Christmas carol Jezusek (Little Jesus), which was rediscovered only recently as part of the complete recording of Laks? songs. Still very popular in Poland today, the pastorale with the original title Oj malu'ki, malu'ki originates from the Podhale region of southern Poland. Laks? piano accompaniment is especially enchanting, with its canonically treated secondary part and cleverly used chromatic suspensions and passing notes, which allude to the future suffering of Christ without taking away any of the melody's warmth. Holger Groschopp, who has been studying the works of Simon Laks as an interpreter and arranger for a long time, let himself be inspired by Laks' artful arrangement and wrote the present free arrangement as a 'song without words'. / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Répertoire / Piano

Gaston et les enfants' est un ballet pour enfants ou adolescents, associant la danse classique et la danse jazz. L'intrigue, très actuelle, réunit humour, charme, dynamisme et suspens. Le ballet comprend trois rôles principaux : Gaston, un bon vieux clochard, héros malgré lui d'une singulière aventure qui oppose Alice et Alex, chefs respectifs de deux bandes rivales, évoluant dans un décor évoquant un terrain vague en bordure de ville. La chorégraphie, laissée à la volonté des professeurs de danse ou des maîtres de ballet, est adaptable à chaque interprète. Le livret, clairement rédigé au fil de chaque numéro, fait partie intégrante de la partition. / Piano Solo
