The public will judge." The public judged, warmly welcoming the work of Gioccomo Puccini. The opera was conducted for the world premiere by Arturo Toscanini who, because of his young age, was not yet appreciated by the composer. Some papers of music critics were however more severe. One of them even wrote: "Boheme, failed opera, will not go far. More than the public of the erection (February 1, 1896), history judged. Created the following year, “La Bohéme” by Ruggero Leoncavallo wos sacrificed, like the friendship between the two men, on the altar of fierce competition, As a great specialist of the lyrical repertoire, Jean-Christophe Maltot signs with “La Fantaisie sur La Bohéme", his fifth fantasy dedicated to the Italian composer, putting his pen at the service of the flautist’s musicality and virtuosity. Far from taking the listener into his personal universe, such as Liszt or Chopin in their fantasies for piano or even Paul Taffanel in his fontosies on the Freischatz, all three affixing their cesthetics as a watermark of the initicl opera, Jean-Christophe Maltot uses Puccinicn motifs and themes until reaching a cretion full of humility. So he seems to tell us: if Puccini had himself written @ fantasy on his own opera, perhaps it would look closely or remotely like this one. From then on, taking advantage of this touching fidelity for the original opera, the performer will be immersed in the atmosphere of Paris in the 1830s - "I don't know anyone who described Paris of that time as well as Puccini in La Bohéme" had said Debussy - and will be able to rediscover the moving airs of La Bohéme, take turns in the roles of Mimi and Rodolfo, sometimes fiery as in the love duet (act |), sometimes desperate (air of Mimi from aet Ill ) or in a mischievous and sensual Musetta (act Il) y——€ ciements les plus chaleureux @ Ariane Brault, Héléne Boulégue, Marie-Pierre Lostitia Brault, August 2023 Nous tenons adresser nos remer 5 e et Christophe Maocec pour leurs précieux conseils, ainsi qu’s Michel Leboque pour les illustrations qu'il a realisées ef offertes @ RLF Editions.
