Description:

The novel "The Love Story of the Beautiful Magellone and Count Peter of Provence," written by Ludwig Tieck, is based on the old well-known story of "The Beautiful Magellone. Brahms composed "Romance on 'Magerone' by Thiek," based on 15 poems in the novel, and although it is in the style of a story, the story is not connected as is, so it is sometimes performed with a narration from the original novel. In working on this collection of songs, the famous French baritone Stéphane Tégoux wanted to go back to a text that predates the Tique of the story, which is set in Provence, and consulted the oldest manuscript of the legend, dating from 1453, whose 15th-century French is used by the narrator The 15th century French was adapted into modern French by Elisabeth, the wife of Roger Germezère. The text thus captured the hearts of the audience and followed the German sung parts to a great extent, and together with the emotional expression of the performers, made the live performance a great success.
