Alain Fourchotte

Cordes tressées (Woven strings)

« This album “weaves” together several works for strings, all of them holding a significance for my evolution throughout the 2000s: an increasingly asserted tendency towards lyricism, contrasted by the liveliest passages, but always on a quest for expressiveness in musical discourse. »
Alain Fourchotte.

Championed by prestigious performers, the four works in this program covering over a decade (2000-2011) reflect a type of lyrical abstraction that combines compositional rigor with gestural fantasy.

We are told three stories about friendship, woven together like strings, three facets of the one sentiment conveyed by exacting, committed and poetic performers.
