The music of Gabriel Fauré has been a constant presence with pianist Théo Fouchenneret since childhood, and its language comes naturally to him. His first Fauré album is an invitation to journey through the refined, dreamlike world of the Nocturnes, from the seductive suavity of the first to the sombre purity of the last. An odyssey in thirteen poetic hases into the depths of Fauré, into the heart of an inner self, the strongly guarded fortress of this unique, intimate music, free of all external influence, whose unsettling, unutterable beauty Théo Fouchenneret reveals to us.

wo composers gave the nocturne for piano its prestige: Frédéric Chopin and, half a century later, Gabriel Fauré. The form invented by John Field evokes the nocturnal atmosphere favoured by the Romantics. When the composer of such vocal night-pieces as Clair de lune and Diane, Séléné adopted it, this reference became less insistent, giving way to a poetic imaginary universe that no longer evoked any scene in particular. Nevertheless, the Faurean nocturne does not emerge into the blazing light of noon, but diffuses the glow of its unsettling dream world. From the early nocturnes, with their ineffable charm, to the later ones, sombre and bare, often shot through with passion, its only goal is to achieve un vaste et tendre apaisement, the tranquillity of evening. With Théo Fouchenneret, we enter this profound, refined universe.

Avec Echoes of Vienna, le Quatuor Hermès trace un itinéraire sensible au cœur d’une ville marquée par les tensions de l’histoire et la puissance de la création. Les œuvres de Mozart, Webern et Korngold y dévoilent des paysages contrastés, où l’élan lyrique côtoie l’intime, et où chaque page semble porter la trace d’un monde vacillant.
Un album d’écoute intérieure, où le quatuor à cordes capte les battements d’une époque et transforme la mémoire en matière vivante.
