Haptic / Œuvres pour duo de guitares

Description

The new CD Haptic by the French guitar duo Lallement Marques, two musicians internationally recognized for their interpretations of contemporary repertoire, presents a unique program through the compositions of three authors: Helmut Lachenmann, Mark André, and Pascale Criton, a journey through the surprising sounds of music of our time. The release opens with Salut für Caudwell by Helmut Lachenmann (1935), a piece composed in 1977, featuring an interpretation by the Duo resulting from a long experience developed with the composer. Characterized by a constant tension, the score has become a reference work for the repertoire for two guitars, followed by iv 14 by Mark André (1964), a piece of "intense fragility," in which, as Elisa Constable states, "all the compositional challenges of Mark André's work, deeply oriented towards the search for an ineffable artistic and spiritual experience." This intense listening journey through the textures of different compositional languages concludes with Trans, in five movements, by Pascale Criton (1954), an author who, in her research, particularly explores the variability of sound and the spatialization of listening.
