You haven't truly heard Verdi, until you've heard him in a giant church.

In the text, this is a sonic depiction of the trumpets which are calling the dead to rise up and be judged before God's throne. The last word... "throne"... is the last chord in A major of this excerpt. Now you know what God's throne sounds like.

Performed last September by the New York Symphonic Arts Ensemble in the Church of St. Paul the Apostle at 59th St. and Columbus Ave.

The Holly and the Ivy

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture

Album release: June 2017

An intense and fascinating exploration of the myriad facets of the violin over the centuries
Kaleidoscope. That single word encapsulates Elsa Grether’s aim in her new album: to illustrate the full expressive range of her violin by exploring its repertory in all its stylistic diversity. From Bach’s famous Chaconne to Ton-Thât-Tiet’s contemporary idiom in Métal terre eau, by way of Eugène Ysaÿe, Aram Khachaturian, Arthur Honegger and Isaac Albéniz, the violinist’s third release for Fuga Libera offers a cocktail of colours and timbres. She charms her listeners with an invariably elegant sound and firmly sculpted lines as she invites us to explore this multifaceted instrument. A voyage of discovery across time, space and aesthetics that will appeal to the widest audience!

Sortie de l'album : Juin 2017

Un voyage intense et passionnant dévoilant les mille facettes du violon à travers les siècles.
Kaléidoscope. Ce seul terme décrit le propos d’Elsa Grether dans son nouvel album : illustrer l’ensemble de la palette expressive de son violon en explorant toute la diversité stylistique de ce répertoire. De la fameuse Chaconne de Jean-Sébastien Bach au contemporain Métal terre eau de Ton-Thât-Tiet, en passant par des pièces d’Eugène Ysaÿe, Aram Khatchatourian, Arthur Honegger ou encore Isaac Albéniz, la violoniste nous emmène pour son troisième opus chez Fuga Libera dans un cocktail de couleurs et de timbres. Elle charme par un son toujours élégant et aux lignes bien dessinées, et invite à l'exploration de cet instrument aux mille facettes. Une découverte à travers le temps, l’espace et les esthétiques à mettre entre toutes les mains !
