Dépouillement et vérité chez Arvo Pärt, avec Gidon Kremer et la Kremerata Baltica à la Fondation Louis Vuitton

Manuel Gaulhiac, 31st March

Avec Fratres et Tabula Rasa, c’est un nouveau chemin qui s’ouvre à la musique. Mais plus qu’un chemin de la nouveauté, c’est le chemin d’un retour à une certaine forme de pureté de l’inspiration, qui passe dans l’écriture et la réalisation par une économie de moyens.

Martha Argerich et la Kremerata Baltica à Gstaad

Beate Langenbruch, 29th January

Le chemin enneigé, bordé de bougies, monte à la vieille Église de Saanen de 1604. Sous son toit, le vieux bois de la balustrade, d’une chaude couleur miel, travaille, grince, gémit : l’atmosphère des concerts hivernaux à Gstaad est unique.
