Digital Booklet
|
Pierre-André Valade helms these performances with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra dedicated to composer Tristan Murail, who lies within the great French tradition of naturalist music dating to the 18th century. Blending nature as a source of inspiration with the tools of computer analysis as compositional means, the works for large orchestra brought together on this album, never before recorded, present an extensive panorama of the composer's output between 1985 and 2007, haunted as they are by his futuristic visions.
"It was with Le partage des eaux that I began studying highly complex sounds, noisy sounds, natural sounds. The sounds analysed are derived from natural phenomena: a wave breaking gently on the shore, the effect of a backwash. They inspire the piece's shapes and sounds, sometimes by using data analysis directly, sometimes more metaphorically."
