Le bien a été fait mais aussi le mal a été commis et tout était « Au nom de? ». On retrouve cela dans l'histoire de l'abbaye des Prémo…

Par MOLKHOU JEAN-MICHEL. La musique de chambre impose à  ses partenaires complicité et humilité, partage et concessions. Le quatuor à  cordes en est sans doute la forme la plus aboutie et la plus équilibrée, sorte d'idéal intellectuel, esthétique et spirituel tant pour le compositeur que pour les interprêtes et le public. Un grand quatuor doit-il chercher la fusion de ses voix à  tout prix afin d…

Op. 106. Par REGER MAX. Max Reger?s setting of Psalm 100 is one of the ?grand style? choral-symphonic works of the classical modern repertoire.
