She grew up in an atmosph…

Par DESBONNET GERMAIN. L'appel du Muezzin Allah Akbar, Dieu est grand, a inspiré cette sonate à Germain Desbonnet, le ramenant à ses jeunes années passées au Maroc. Ce compositeur a beaucoup œuvré pour redonner ses lettres de noblesse à La bombarde, créant notamment 'Renouveau bombarde & orgue' en 1998.

Par FELDMANN WALTER. Commissioned by the Ensemble Intercontemporain In 1989 I first discovered the writings of Anne-Marie Albiach. H II linéaires especially impressed me, on the one hand through the sensual presence of the words, and on the other hand, above all, through the spatial disposition of the typography.
