Par BIZET GEORGES. As an acclaimed opera composer, Georges Bizet admitted that he had no real sensibility for sacred music. His Te Deum is nonetheless a truly fascinating and highly expressive work. From the majestic ?Te Deum laudamus?, to the skillful choral fugue of ?Fiat misericordia tua?, and the opening's powerful recapitulation, the composition shows no trace of the difficulties that beset t…

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. «Vous, qui êtes un homme, avez bien ressenti ces lieder comme n’aurait guère su le faire le coeur féminin le plus sensible! » a écrit un admirateur à Schumann, à propos de son cycle Frauenliebe und Leben. Cette sensibilité à l’égard de l’expression profondément romantique des poèmes d’Adelbert von Chamisso s’ex-plique sans doute également à travers le contexte de la compositio…

En 1991, l'écriture libre de cette pièce est un peu inhabituelle dans ma façon d'aborder la musique de chambre. En effet, il m'a toujours semblé délicat de proposer des formes ouvertes, ou une organisation rythmique proportionnelle à des petites formations. Pour ce qui concerne Ouvrages d'Ars composé à la demande du duo Kalliopê, le choix de ce mode d'écriture était prévu. Compositeur et interprèt…

Par HUREL PHILIPPE. Avec tous mes remerciements amicaux à Jérôme Comte sans qui la pièce n'aurait pas vu le jour. A première vue, il y a une certaine contradiction entre le titre de la pièce qui évoque la rareté, et la perception qui s'en dégage, marquée plutôt par la volubilité. Mais à y regarder de plus près, le titre prend tout son sens. En effet, on s'aperçoit rapidement que la clarinette pri…
