Louis Chedid L’inspiration

Are we destined to play only the music that culturally belongs to us and lives within us? Do the borders that lie between countries and the vastness of the salt water act as natural thresholds that prevent the soul and spirit of music from being shared and passed on beyond its geographical framework?

Louis Sclaviss 13th ECM recording finds the French clarinetist drawing inspiration from two sources the street art of Ernest Pignon-Ernest, and the interpretive originality of a splendid new quartet. Pignon-Ernests works were previously the subject of Sclaviss highly acclaimed 2002 recording Napolis Walls. This time Sclavis looks at a broader range of the artists in situ collages from Ramallah to Rome, in search of a dynamic, a movement that will give birth to a rhythm, an emotion, a song.

During the 18th century, Louis Marchand was the most famous French organist, and renowned throughout Europe. Therefore, in the year of the 350th anniversary of his birth, it is appropriate to record his best organ music on a historic instrument that has been sympathetically reconstructed in modern times. French organ music from the period of Louis XIV to the Revolution has always held fascination for performers and listeners alike. The kaleidoscope of colours, the rich and varied styles, and the sheer exuberance of the music never fail to captivate. Yet, performance practice of this music has never been fully understood. David Ponsford has spent much of his career studying this repertoire, resulting in his book French Organ Music in the Reign of Louis XIV (Cambridge University Press, 2011).

Jean-Louis Bergheaud voit le jour à la Bourboule, station thermale Auvergnate. Ballotté entre sa mère et son père divorcés, il passe une bonne partie de son enfance chez ses grands parents dans leur ferme de Murat-le-Quaire, petit village dont il reprendra le nom une fois sur scène. Alors qu’il était destiné à travailler à la ferme, Jean-Louis se passionne très vite pour la musique et l’apprend dès 7 ans au sein de l’Harmonie municipale. Son talent pour la musique et l’écriture le poussent à aller au-delà du baccalauréat – il est le premier de sa famille à l’obtenir – et à poursuivre des études supérieures. Après un mariage à 17 ans qui ne dura pas, Jean Louis bourlingue et enchaîne les petits boulots dans toute la France. Le jeune homme se cherche, son seul repère, sa seule certitude, c’est la musique.
