The album kicks off with its strongest moment: <em>Prologue, fougue et allegro tr\u00e9pidant,<\/em> a composition by Patrick Roux (born 1962) which is one of the most exciting I&#8217;ve heard for this kind of grouping. Filled with thrilling or touching melodies, exciting rhythms and spectacular technical prowess, it&#8217;s a sure-fire hit in any concert! The rest, while not quite as memorable, offers some fine minutes of music. Louis Tr\u00e9panier&#8217;s arrangement of tunes from <em>Orfeu negro<\/em> (Jobim\/Bonfa), in three movements, is a respectful yet free tribute to the music that launched bossa nova in the West. An arrangement of Bach (<em>Sonata sopr&#8217;il soggetto reale<\/em> for flute, violin and continuo, ext. from <em>The Musical Offering, BWV 1079<\/em>) and Mozart (first movement of the <em>Sonata for two pianos, K. 448<\/em>) offer a glimpse of the great digital finesse of the four instrumentalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Pulsar<\/em>, by composer Olga Amelkina-Vera, is an exercise in jagged rhythms not devoid of expressive demands and quality, but does not do full justice to its subject, a star spinning on itself at astonishing speed and discharging astronomical (!) doses of energy. In this sense, the same object suggested a little electronic jewel to Vangelis much longer ago and would have benefited from being translated for this kind of ensemble. The four movements of Renaud C\u00f4t\u00e9-Gigu\u00e8re&#8217;s <em>Empty Houses <\/em>move from jazz to prog rock and Brazilian music in a very fluid and organic writing between the four instruments. Intertwined lines, with subtle but rich counterpoint, trace landscapes tinged with emotional ambivalence. The third movement is astonishing: the quartet creates sounds reminiscent of a synthetic keyboard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A top-quality programme to match the immense talent of four musicians at the top of their game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Empty Houses\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_lA_RkS1OOMo71qSkSSkhH4R6ynC6N9P3k\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Canadian Guitar Quartet no longer needs to demonstrate its technical quality, artistic excellence and convincing eclecticism.
