\"\"<\/a>Durant notre s\u00e9jour sur la C\u00f4te d\u2019Opale, \u00ab\u00a0profitant\u00a0\u00bb d\u2019une nuit d\u2019insomnie, j\u2019ai \u00e9cout\u00e9<\/strong><\/span><\/a> un assez grand nombre d\u2019albums de musique de Francis Poulenc et de Gabriel Faur\u00e9, compositeurs qui ne me sont pas vraiment familiers –comme \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s tous les musiciens fran\u00e7ais, hors Ravel et Satie\u2026<\/em>-, et y ai trouv\u00e9 un assez grand nombre de beaut\u00e9s cach\u00e9es, ce qui m\u2019a donn\u00e9 envie de r\u00e9\u00e9couter \u00ab\u00a0P\u00e9n\u00e9lope\u00a0\u00bb, de Gustave Faur\u00e9<\/strong>, que j\u2019ai vu en 2015 \u00e0 l\u2019op\u00e9ra national du Rhin, sans en garder un tr\u00e8s bon souvenir, du fait notamment d\u2019une mise en sc\u00e8ne tr\u00e8s d\u00e9cevante –\u00e0 mes yeux tout au moins, mais comme elle \u00e9tait sign\u00e9e d\u2019un \u00ab\u00a0grand nom\u00a0\u00bb, certains ont cru devoir se p\u00e2mer malgr\u00e9 tout\u2026<\/em>-.
\nA l\u2019\u00e9poque, j\u2019avais achet\u00e9 cet album, alors seule version facilement accessible, –cliquer sur l\u2019image pour la voir en plus grand<\/em>– pour d\u00e9couvrir l\u2019oeuvre avant d\u2019aller l\u2019\u00e9couter \u00e0 l\u2019op\u00e9ra, mais il n\u2019avait plus quitt\u00e9 son \u00e9tag\u00e8re depuis, P\u00e9n\u00e9lope m\u2019\u00e9tait compl\u00e8tement sortie de l\u2019oreille : je ne dois pas \u00eatre le seul dans ce cas, puisqu’apr\u00e8s une cr\u00e9ation triomphale, l’oeuvre a peu \u00e0 peu son gr\u00e9 dans un oubli relatif.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>L\u2019argument est tir\u00e9 de \u00ab\u00a0L\u2019Odyss\u00e9e\u00a0\u00bb d\u2019Hom\u00e8re –le livret est sign\u00e9 de Ren\u00e9 Fauchois<\/em>-, et narre le retour d\u2019Ulysse, d\u00e9guis\u00e9 en mendiant, et sa vengeance contre les pr\u00e9tendants de P\u00e9n\u00e9lope, qui, depuis vingt ans, attendait son retour en tissant sa toile et en refusant de se marier.
\n\"\"<\/a>Dit comme \u00e7a, on pourrait s\u2019attendre \u00e0 un livret plein de rebondissements et \u00e0 un suspens haletant, mais en fait, il ne se passe quasiment rien pendant deux heures et trois actes, et seule le dernier quart de l\u2019oeuvre est plus anim\u00e9. En revanche, l\u2019oeuvre semble construite sur le mod\u00e8le wagn\u00e9rien, avec d\u00e9coupage en sc\u00e8nes et non en num\u00e9ros, et ne comporte quasiment pas d\u2019airs, mais propose une suite de d\u00e9clamations, sur une trame orchestrale –nettement domin\u00e9e par les cordes<\/em>– dense et, pour le coup, vraiment int\u00e9ressante.<\/p>\n

Je me souviens qu\u2019\u00e0 Strasbourg, le r\u00f4le de P\u00e9n\u00e9lope \u00e9tait interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e par une grande voix straussienne ; on y entend \u00e9galement des cantatrices estampill\u00e9es wagn\u00e9riennes. Ici, Jessye Norman continuait \u00e0 b\u00e2tir sa galerie de \u00ab\u00a0portraits fran\u00e7ais\u00a0\u00bb –entre autres : P\u00e9n\u00e9lope, Cassandre (Berlioz) H\u00e9l\u00e8ne et Antonia (Offenbach), Salom\u00e9 (Massenet) Carmen (Bizet) et la Marseillaise du bicentenaire !<\/em> -. Elle se montre tout-\u00e0-fait convaincante et \u00e9crase un peu ses partenaires masculins.
\nL\u2019orchestre, par ailleurs, protagoniste important de l\u2019oeuvre, semble convenable –je n\u2019ai pas d\u2019autre point de comparaison<\/em>– bien qu\u2019un peu opaque pour une orchestration qui n\u00e9cessite sans doute plus de transparence. On a \u00e9galement connu le chef d\u2019orchestre suisse Charles Dutoit autrement plus \u00e9nergique et fougueux avec son orchestre de Montr\u00e9al que dans cet enregistrement.<\/p>\n

Deux heures pour finir agr\u00e9ablement ces vacances lyriques !<\/strong><\/p>\n
