Note of intent
Download the bookletThis program weaves a free, contrasting, and sensitive journey, where different eras respond to one another without ever merging. From Mozartian clarity to the theatrical verve of Mauricio Kagel, from the lyrical elegance of Luigi Boccherini to the striking colors of Alberto Ginastera, and including Hors-champ (Interstices V) by Charles David Wajnberg, each work illuminates a different facet of the dialogue between flute and strings.
As the concert unfolds, this conversation shifts, evolves, and reinvents itself. At times luminous and refined, at others more austere, mysterious, or elemental, it reveals the full richness of an ensemble in which breath intertwines with the material of the bows. The flute is not merely a soloist here: it becomes voice, line, shimmer, a shared respiration-by turns carried, surrounded, extended, or challenged by the quartet.
This journey thus leads the listener from a classicism of perfect clarity toward freer and more fragmented sonic landscapes, notably opened by the writing of Charles David Wajnberg, and extending to the almost mineral resonances of Impresiones de la Puna. Balancing formal clarity, gestural energy, and evocative power, the program ultimately traces a play of perspectives, textures, and correspondences-a true art of interwoven perspectives.
