Eudes Bernstein, Misako Akama, Orlando Bass, Filippo Biuso, Jeanne Crousaud, Joakim Ciesla - Spirales (2021) [24/192]

It starts with a fascination for sound, an obsession even, that throws you into the spiral of its various parameters: vibration, waves, speed, intensity, timbre, frequency, height… “I have always been moved by the primordial importance given to sound, and to that in which it evolves: Time” says the performer in this recording. Whether it is fleeting, the time of a dance of death, twisting into a waltz or turning a few loops, from the wrenching expressivity of the soprano saxophone to the astonishing spectre of the elusive bass saxophone, by way of the tenderness of the tenor or the alto, this program tends toward perpetual motion and permanent instability. The organic movement of each of the scores tends toward the – subtle – movement of the history of music itself and its modernity. It was with a dream of new sonorities that Berlioz characterized each of « idées fixes » in his Symphonie Fantastique. It was on a strange ground of immobility, of precocious minimalism, that Ravel introduced the saxophone into his Bolero.
