Eglise de la Madeleine, Paris, France
Concerto comemorativo do funeral de Chopin na Madeleine 1849
Paris, Igreja da Madalena — Main Hall
Sobre o Evento
Experimente as melodias encantadoras da música clássica de dois compositores de renome, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart e Frederic Chopin, no concerto altamente antecipado realizado na Eglise de la Madeleine, um local estimado e mundialmente celebrado em Paris.
Reviver o histórico concerto de homenagem que teve lugar na igreja da Madeleine a 30 de outubro de 1849, em honra do funeral de Chopin.
Numa decisão tomada por Chopin e pelos seus companheiros, o Requiem de Mozart foi escolhido para ser tocado na cerimónia fúnebre dentro das paredes da igreja da Madeleine.
No dia 30 de outubro de 1849, às onze horas, uma multidão de três mil pessoas vestidas com trajes negros e sombrios encheu a grande igreja.
Quando o caixão saiu da cripta, uma orquestra ressoou a triste Marche funèbre de Chopin, meticulosamente arranjada pelo talentoso Napoléon Reber.
Continuando a cerimónia pungente, os Prelúdios melancólicos em Mi menor e Si menor de Louis Lefébure‐Wély fluíram suavemente das mãos hábeis do organista.
A orquestra e o coro da Société de concerts du Conservatoire, sob a batuta de Narcisse Girard, acompanhados pelos solistas Pauline Viardot e Luigi Lablache, concluíram os trabalhos com uma poderosa interpretação do intemporal Requiem de Mozart.

Eglise de la Madeleine
The Eglise de la Madeleine is a 19th-century Roman Catholic church that commands all eyes in its lovely location between the Place de la Concorde and the Palais Garnier in Paris. The construction process stretched over 80 years, as the building's plans - and those funding it - underwent many changes. Initially intended as Napoleon's tribute to his victorious army, the Neo-Classical style, echoing that of an Ancient Roman temple, retains the immense standing columns of earlier churches on the site. Inside the Eglise de la Madeleine, one can admire beautiful Neo-Byzantine mosaics, paintings and sculptures. The Neo-Classical architecture and impressive internal decorations create a perfect atmosphere for the classical concerts that take place in the church throughout the year. A magnificent pipe organ, considered to be one of the most impressive instruments in Paris in terms of its tonal beauty, plays its own part in the La Madeleine's musical life.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Perhaps the most important composer of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian composer of the late 18th century. Born in 1756 in Salzburg, he showed prodigious musical talent from childhood. Beginning at five years of age, he composed more than 600 works, including concertos, symphonies, religious works and operas before his premature death at the age of 35. Hi influence over successive generations cannot be overestated - Ludwig van Beethoven wrote of Mozart "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years”. Despite the immense success of his compositions, and the acclaim he received across Europe, Mozart achieved little financial security and rwas buried in an unmarked grave in Vienna's St Marx Cemetery.
Frederic Chopin
Frederic Chopin was a Polish composer and pianist of the Romantic area (early 19th century). He wrote primarily piano solos but also piano concerts, chamber pieces and songs set to Polish lyrics. He is well-known as a poetic genius without competition of his generation. In fact, he created the concept of instrumental ballade and his performances were noted for their sensitivity and fine distinction. He spent most of his life in Paris, where he performed for the intimate atmospheres of salons. For most of his life, he suffered poor health. As a result, he died quite young at the age of 39, probably of tuberculosis.
