In a landscape devastated by the Great War, mysterious voices resound against a background of ghostly bells… Gabriel Pierné's dark and beautiful prelude to Les Cathédrales conjures up the poetic visions of the Apocalypse (in the etymological sense of the word "Revelation") set to music by Édith Canat de Chizy. Both of these intense mediations are dedicated to the 800th anniversary of Metz Cathedral. Mahler's Symphony N°1, a vast and teeming "symphonic novel" with both intimate and cosmic overtones delivers the monumental conclusion.
With the support of the Greater Eastern Region (Région Grand Est) and the City of Metz.
