| Summary |
When the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt composed "Fratres" in 1977, he deliberately did not specify the instrumentation, which has resulted in numerous interpretations by string quartets, piano and violin or cello, with or without percussion. But Mari Samuelsen and Dubfire have gone beyond the "classic-contemporary" framework to bring the work to another dimension. The Norwegian violin star, adored by Max Richter and for whom film composer James Horner (Titanic, Braveheart ...) composed the concerto for her first album, has teamed up with Ali Shirazinia aka Dubfire, an American-Iranian DJ capable of igniting the dancefloors of Ibiza or winning a Grammy Award (for the remix of Dido "Thank You" with his duo Deep Dish) but also of attacking one of the most fascinating minimalist composers! And that is the beauty of this unprecedented encounter, initiated by the Sourdoreille collective and La Compagnie des Indes at the Cabaret Sauvage, as part of the Variations collection. The opportunity for the duo to deliver an electro-acoustic version of "Fratres", progressive and powerful, which starts with the original motive but moves more and more towards a minimal techno dance, and which does not fail to expose the true value of Mari Samuelsen's virtuosity. A fascinating and innovative ritornello that honors the work of Arvo Pärt. Etienne Geremia |
