Eric Satie led a dangerous life. After work at the Cabaret Le Chat Noir was over, he had to cross Paris on foot at three o’clock in the morning to get back home to Arceuil. For self-defense he carried a big hammer in his pocket. You never knew who you’d meet late at night in the city...
Nevertheless, his job as a ‘gymnopedist’ (cabaret pianist) gave him almost enough financial freedom to write the sarcastic piano pieces his contemporaries rejected...

Lasse Hallström - Casanova's Venice
Lasse Hallström is a leading film maker, but it is in his musical choices that he really exceeds all expectations. Following in the shadowy steps of the nefarious Giacomo Girolamo Casanova he shows an encyclopaedic knowledge of Venetian Baroque music and makes an impeccable selection of masterpieces. I suppose Casanova could even have heard all those
exquisite compositions at first hand (performed on authentic instruments), had he not been too busy doing something else...

Don Giovanni
In the spirit of the concert please, note that the maestro Liszt - future priest and Vatican guest - was quite a Don Juan himself in his youth. So beware, victims of his charm:
Don Juan even wrote a paraphrase about himself. Mozart was just an amateur compared to the pan-European virtuoso born in Hungary, schooled in France, and active in Weimar, Italy and even in Transylvania, where he courted the daughter of Dracula, who, however, had absolutely no desire to share quality time with him.

Strauss & co
Eduard Strauss, son of Johann Strauss I, brother of Johann Strauss II and Josef Strauss, and the last leader of the Strauss Orchestra, was a pompous, dictatorial person, who loved wearing his medals.
He is best remembered as the person who, to fulfill a promise he had made to his brothers, tried to burn the entire Strauss orchestra library and the original manuscripts of the Strauss family in 1906.
All the dance arrangements for the Strauss Orchestra were destroyed in the boiler room of his friend's chair factory. It took seven hours, we are told, amid frantic protestations from the many onlookers.
Due to the courage of the firefighters, the library was saved and, to everybody' s relief, the scores were put somewhere safe and later reconstructed.
One cannot burn thoughts or flowers of the mind…

The festival of the two worlds
The lowest circle of Hell. Contrary to prevailing opinion, it is inhabited neither by despots nor matricides, nor even by those who feast on other people’s live bodies. It is a refuge of artists, full of mirrors, musical instruments and pictures. At first glance this is the most luxurious infernal department, with no tar, fire or physical torture.
Throughout the year, competitions, festivals and concerts are held there.
There is no peak season: The peak time is permanent and almost complete. Every few month new trends come into being and nothing, it appears, I can stop the triumphant march of the avant-garde.
Beelzebub loves art. He boasts that his choruses, poets and painters are superior to those in heaven. He who has better art has better government, obviously.
Soon they will be able to measure their strength against one another in the Festival of the two Worlds. And then we will see what remains of Dante, Fra Angelico and Bach. Beelzebub supports the arts. He provides his artists with tranquil surroundings, good board and complete isolation from hellish life…
