We have shared a great deal with music in recent weeks, a great comfort to us all. We now invite you to discover a text - published exclusively by the eminent Canadian magazine Circuit on its website.

In this fast-paced transcription of a talk given during the North American premiere of Waves (duet for organ and orchestra), Pascal Dusapin delivers with his customary generosity, to an undoubtedly eager audience, nothing less than an "aesthetic" in his usual style, embodied and powerful. Something to read over and over!

Agility, a capacity to adapt, resilience: the symphonic orchestras that stand alongside the Durand Salabert Eschig editions have always demonstrated these qualities to present the vast palette of the orchestral repertoire to an ever-growing audience. The string orchestra, with deep and warm tones and endless expressive possibilities, has a promising future on the stage. Dive right now into the most seductive works of our contemporaries, descendants inspired by the masterful works of Mozart, Brahms and Tchaikovsky for string orchestra!

Over a century ago, a completely new repertoire appeared, that of the work for instrumental ensemble.

Situated halfway between chamber music and the large orchestra, capable of bending, like the former, to the most precise detail and, like the latter, possessing a uniformity of colour, the young ensemble, born in a time of austerity (already!) amidst great conflict, had to grow far beyond its initial promises.

Dedicated ensembles, such as the famous Intercontemporain Ensemble and its numerous international equivalents, have now excelled in the defense of this repertoire both on stage and on recordings, of which we offer you a carefully chosen selection.

The Parisian public will have the privilege of being the first to preview (before its presentation by the most talented young pianists at the next Orleans International Piano Competition) the third part of the Piano Works (entitled Black Letters, inspired by the painter Pierre Soulages, about whom the prestigious Louvre museum has organised a monographic exhibition at the same time) by the composer at the Louvre Auditorium on 10 January. The public will be met by one of the composer's favourite pianists, Nicolas Hodges, whose expressive genius is known to all.

A word from the composer about his new work for solo organ, the world premiere performed by Yves Castagnet on Wednesday, 8 January in the Radio France auditorium. "In 2016, I wrote a short piano piece for the Orleans International Piano Competition inspired by Christophe Moyreau's Cloches d’Orleans. This musician (now long-forgotten) was in charge of the organs of the Cathedral of Orleans during the middle of the 18th century and, following a popular Baroque tradition, wrote a work based on the notes that the cathedral bells were playing: a short and simple motif of 4 descending notes. "

The formidable talents that represent the Quatuor Modigliani will perform on 15 January the German premiere of Philippe Hersant’s sixth quartet, which they first premiered this summer. The French composer’s colourful and imaginative counterpoint will undoubtedly be a sensation within the hall’s setting, also crossed by expressive lines drawn by the architectural creators Herzog and De Meuron.
