Ever since the outset of the quartet, Debussy and Ravel have accompanied us and nurtured us. The marvelously poetical and lyrical universe of these two composers has grown within us throughout the years and has made us lift our eyes towards these galaxies which resonate according to their vibrations in space and time.

"There is no need by now to introduce the Quatuor Hermès, which has become the most brilliant of the young generation of French quartets thanks to its solid track record of faultless yet never flashy performances.

This Debut CD confirms the impression I’d formed from broadcasts of a highly talented, exceptionally well-integrated ensemble. Their excellent balance is highlighted by crystal-clear recording. The opening of the Debussy, brisk and forceful yet with plenty of variety and meticulous in observing the composer’s directions, immediately inspires confidence. After a while, though, I started to wonder whether the playing was a bit too careful and controlled; the Vertavo Quartet, not quite as slick and with more soft-edged recorded sound, give a much more spontaneous effect, with delightful and very idiomatic touches of rubato. Similarly in the Ravel, the Belcea performance brings out all the subtleties of texture and timbre, the fascinating cross-rhythms, the sweetly nostalgic emotional tone.

In addition to the traditional pairing of the Debussy and Ravel string quartets, the Arcanto Quartett performs Henri Dutilleux's Ainsi la Nuit (1971-1976), a grouping that is becoming increasingly popular on recordings. These are absolutely secure, thoughtful, self-effacing readings of the Debussy and the Ravel. While the quartet doesn't bring particular new revelations to the pieces, the members play with nuanced sensitivity and impeccable musicianship. The haunted quiet they achieve in the first part of the third movement of the Debussy is especially impressive, as is the clarity of their sense of direction and unity in the final movement, the most difficult of the four to pull off. Similarly in the Ravel, the contrast between the serenity of the third movement and the raw athleticism of the fourth is attention-grabbing and invigorating.

If this premiere recording of Stephen Hough’s String Quartet No 1 may be regarded as definitive—the work is dedicated to the Takács Quartet—those of the quartets by Ravel and Dutilleux are no less distinguished.

La belle idée! Le bel album ! L’ami Sanseverino nous prend par la main pour aller traîner du côté de ces chansons d’hier inscrites dans la légende des années 30 et suivantes… avec lui, elles reprennent un sacré coup de jeunesse, bercées par des vagues tziganes sur lesquelles la gouaille se laisse faire du gringue avec des joues rouges de plaisir ! Et c’est parti pour un petit déhanchement java, un brin de swing et un coup de valse aux jardins de Charles Trenet, Georges Brassens, Maurice Chevalier, Jean Sablon et bien sûr Bourvil, éternel séducteur du « Petit bal perdu » avec un accordéon sur son 31 pour fêter les retrouvailles ! Bref, rien que du bonheur version « Nationale 7» bordée de roses blanches… Merci, jeune homme!…

Tombé sous le charme du dernier recueil poétique de Michel Houellebecq en allant chercher sa ration de clopes (dixit l'intéressé), Jean-Louis Aubert s'est mis en tête de mettre en musique seize passages de Configuration du dernier rivage, publié en 2013. Aidé du producteur Jean Lamoot, connu pour avoir officié aux côtés de Bashung, Noir Désir ou Raphaël et monté le projet pop world Rivière Noire, l'ancien chanteur de Téléphone a donné une seconde vie à ces Parages du vide après leur composition dans un état de fièvre, en une dizaine de jours.
