A portrait of Pascal Dusapin at the Messiaen Festival
From 21 to 30 July, the Messiaen au pays de la Meije festival will offer the rare privilege of discovering in just a short time the most representative works from Pascal Dusapin's rich chamber catalogue: the famous string quartets (nos. 1, 2 , 3, 4 and 7 by the Arditti Quartet, no.5 by the Béla Quartet), emblematic works for solo piano (Etudes by Vanessa Wagner), anthological lyrical cycles (La Natura del mondo with Barbara Hannigan, O Mensch! with Mitch Riley), concert pieces (Aria with Patrick Messina and the Orchestre national de Cannes) and choral works (Granum Sinapsis conducted by Nicole Corti)... without a doubt, never has such a list of contemporary masterpieces signed by the great Pascal Dusapin been presented to the public with such thoroughness and generosity.
Highlight of this very special moment: the "Carte Blanche" evening on 22 July, which will bring together Katarina and Milan Pala with those close to the composer in a particularly remarkable programme, as is customary at La Meije.
