Product Description
Product Description
After dedicating two notable Portraits recordings to Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt, Angèle Dubeau now turns her attention to the world of John Adams, perhaps the most fundamentally American of contemporary composers.
From the Artist
“Just like the music of Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt, John Adams’ music speaks to me. Bearing a particular imprint, it is music that captivates me, a complex creation but without the artifice of a composer who is becoming or has become history. I wanted also to propose compelling works, with different ensembles, like a musical portrait for my instrument.
I like its haunting rhythm, its communicative and frenetic energy, wondering where I might cast the anchor. I always enjoy working, polishing and refining the tone colours of music and La Pietà gives me the instrument, the possibility to shape this sound texture. Here, John Adams’ music has inspired me, like a prism of colour and light.
In this musical visit, I have expressed my desire to go beyond, to grant myself an adrenaline rush called challenge. Truly, playing this music requires daring. This could be my most ambitious project with La Pietà! Here is John Adams - Portrait: Happy listening!” Angèle Dubeau

When a performer you love make you discover the true richness of modern music
April 18 2011
By Dominic Roy
Format:Audio CD
This third portrait from Angele Dubeau and La Pieta encouraged me to discover those modern great composers. They aren't easy but just give them a try. After a couple of listenings you are completely under the charm. What energy, what virtuosity, what sensibility! Madame Dubeau, please continue and give us more to discover. Your pleasure to play difficult music help me so much to search for excellence. Thanks so much.
