Original | Traduction // Translation The Paradise quartets Imagine nine villages, old, ravishing and perched on the hills. Imagine that a few string quartets play evening after evening, as have this year the impressive Belcéa, playing Schubert, or the Sine Nomine playing the Evening Metamorphoses by Ligeti, and you'll have an idea of the little musical Paradise that has existed for 20 years around All Saints' day, deep in the Var countryside. The listener, enraptured, slightly chilled, can "see remade", here, thanks to personal interpretations, a music he thought he knew, before the altar of little churches dimly lit. Maybe our era will allow a new level of expectation to blossom regarding the interpretation of chamber music, as if all these excellent interpreters, who at other times might have perhaps had careers as soloists, had had to regroup to confront the crisis and to specialize, to weld themselves as four. |
