Garden Of Silences

Description

If you think "music" and "Europe", there's a chance you might hear, in a corner of our good old collective memory, Charpentier's Te Deum ringing out. Let's leave the trumpeting mass to Eurovision, and watch Europe bloom elsewhere. In this Garden Of Silences, for example. This Franco-European quartet, imagined by Clément Janinet with Arve Henriksen (NOR), Ambre Vuillermoz (FRA) and Robert Lucaciu (GER), is an example of cross-border inventiveness.With Garden of Silences the violinist extends the aesthetics of his previous projects, such as Ornette Under the Repetitive Skies and La Litanie des Cimes, to place this new repertoire in the hands of musicians from other cultures. The violin dialogues with trumpet, accordion and double bass, also breaking free from the limits of repertoires.Buxtehude and Dowland debate with the Swedish nyckelharpa, Marin Marais with virulent improvisation and microtonal music, traditional oral dances and songs with contemporary chamber music.
