Une Priere
Ensemble Contraste / Karine Deshayes / Pierre Genisson / Deborah Nemtanu / Sarah Nemtanu
Ernest Bloch's Suite Hébraïque was the starting point for this program: 'This music came as a revelation to us. It's language is overwhelming and tells of the ravages of the twentieth century...The other composers in this program (Ravel, Bloch, Bruch, Prokofiev, Shostakovich) each in their own way experienced the full force of this tormented century and drew inspiration from the most timeless and universal aspects of folk and sacred repertories, the better to respond to the brutality of the age', say violist Arnaud Thorette and pianist Johan Farjot, who devised this program. Johan Farjot has also arranged John Williams's famous Schindler's List theme for viola and cello. An intense and poignant experience, also featuring other superb artists: Antoine Pierlot (cello), Pierre Génisson (clarinet), Karine Deshayes (mezzo-soprano), and Sarah and Deborah Nemtanu (violin).
