Stravinsky and Ramuz revisit the myth of Faust... In their own way: by selling his violin to the devil in exchange for the book that guesses the future, the soldier will lose his soul. In this musical show of the "mimodrama" genre created in the last hours of the First World War, the composer of The Rite explores with the means of the edge new paths that will soon lead him to a very personal form of neo-classicism.
In the company of the French actor Dominique Horwitz, the musicians brought together by Isabelle Faust took up the challenge of playing on contemporary instruments of creation. The work reveals its true personality and its colors so original, bright and biting. In addition, two little jewels unjustly unknown to the composer who left us just 50 years ago.
