Luc Ferrari - Didascalies [Bonus DVD]

This album is the last part of a triptych that had been planned while Luc Ferrari was still alive. In fact, the first volume, Les Anecdotiques (a hörspiel) was released before his death; then came Son Mémorisé (a collection of electro-acoustic works) and finally Didascalies. The latter is devoted to Ferrari's instrumental music and culls two recent works ("Rencontres Fortuites" and "Didascalies") and an older piece recently re-executed ("Tautologos III"). The first two are written for piano, viola, and "memorized sounds" (i.e., tape) and were composed specifically for Jean-philippe Collard-neven and Vincent Royer, while the last piece is an open-ended work with unspecified instrumentation, here performed by the same two musicians. Read More
