From the Baroque to today's creations: the Quatuor Béla and the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie echo the passage of time and open up vast sonic spaces.
Handel, born a Saxon, became a British subject, and his concerti grossi, born as interludes for London theaters, evoke Corelli's Italy.
The Béla Quartet and the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie echo each other within the scores themselves, in the parallel or opposing movements that govern Purcell's Fantaisie sur une note. Echoes from Japan, too, with composer Misato Mochizuki, equally at ease with acoustic instruments and their combination with electronics.
