Festival Resonances,

…ivresse des vibratos, glissandos et tremolos, ivresse de la danse: un très bel arrangement donné avec une précision impressionnante et un enthousiasme communicatif des musiciens….

Enfin Gabriel Fauré terminait la soirée avec le premier quatuor à clavier en ut mineur, une œuvre ample et intense livrée dans une interprétation totalement libérée et exaltante par Alasdair Beatson au piano, Philippe Graffin à nouveau au violon, Lily Francis à l’alto et Martijn Vink, codirecteur artistique du festival, au violoncelle.

Une célébration chambriste de haut vol.
