Mantovani / Ravel / Quatuor Voce- Poetiques De L'instant Ii (CD)
This second instalment of our long-term project Poétiques de l'Instant (Poetry of the Moment) combines two masterly string quartets with a range of other instrumental colours, unpublished transcriptions and first performances. Alongside the famous Quartet by Ravel, the Voce Quartet have commissioned a new quartet from Bruno Mantovani - his fifth - which develops around a crucial note in Ravel's Quartet. They have also drawn on the multiple talents of harpist Emmanuel Ceysson, who enhances the programme with a magical chamber transcription of Ravel's famous Mother Goose suite. For this arrangement, as well as for Ravel's equally superb Introduction and Allegro for septet, the Quatuor Voce are joined by three outstanding artists: flautist Juliette Hurel, clarinettist Rémi Delangle and harpist Emmanuel Ceysson.
