Impressionnant de cohésion et d'exactitude, le Quatuor Diotima a interprété une pièce d'aujourd'hui, rendu hommage à une œuvre centenaire puis célébré Ravel, né il y a 150 ans.

Grisey and Stockhausen show the value of old-school technique in a festival of music from the recent past and futuristic present.

On a program of musical works with imagery ranging from Mount Fuji to zygotes, the common thread was Japan and the sounds it has inspired over the past few decades.
