PAN M 360 / TOP 100 : Francis Choinière, Orchestre FILMharmonique – Phonèmes, la musique de François Dompierre

· by Alexandre Villemaire

Young conductor Francis Choinière and the Orchestre FILMharmonique have recorded a tribute to the music of our cinema and to one of its most emblematic composers, François Dompierre. In a survey of Dompierre’s film repertoire, the maestro and his excellent orchestra offer us a project in the form of an intergenerational encounter “that can only enrich us” according to the almost octogenarian composer, who signs seven contemplative pieces here. We are easily carried away by the gentle, lyrical melancholy theme of mon amie Max (1994), the airy, luminous string elegy from Portes tournantes (1988) and the dynamic musical tableau traversing the universe of La Passion d’Augustine (2015), the latest Quebec film production for which Dompierre composed the music. Beyond Choinière’s great technical skills and mastery of nuances and melodic lines, this is a devilishly beautiful encounter between two musicians who vibrate with a beautiful musicality.
