Two great young Quebec soloists join forces in an original album dedicated to composers of our time, a project that goes beyond the CD, since it is available in the form of an “experience concert”, digitally dressed (projected images), presented on 25 and May 26 at 9 p.m. at Bourgie Hall before a summer tour. Apart from visual support, we therefore discover on the disc the works of Alexander Grogg (born in 1979), François Vallières (1978), Marjan Mozetich (1948), Caroline Lizotte (1969), Kelly-Marie Murphy (1964) and Gentle Giant. We have already spoken highly of Mozetich, whose play transfigured feeling stands out. In the same vein, modern but expressive, Vallières greatly succeeds in its Double-Monologue. Lizotte skilfully combines Scottish folklore and sound research. The harp takes precedence, while it is the cello that embodies Murphy’s Balkan ardor. Grogg feeds on works from the past to immerse them in other universes, even having fun with a bossa-nova variation of The Madness. Courageous, high-strength journey.
