Viviane Chassot (accordion)About
She combines classical music with jazz, folk music and free improvisation and surprises the listener once again. For the result is once again gripping, stirring, thought-provoking and astonishing.
"Every single piece on this CD has come to me in the last two years," says the artist. And further: "Supposedly so far apart from each other, yet in their sound aesthetics ultimately very related. Captivating in their simplicity and directness. Space for the soul, spaces of longing - breathing sounds."
On this album, she juxtaposes the beauty of simple traditional folk music from Brittany with a waltz by Chopin and the famous Gnossiennes by Satie.
French charm in a lyrical-poetic sound merges here with a sometimes meditative character. Among them are discoveries such as the Bagatelles by Valentin Silvestrov, through which a whole universe behind sounds breathes. With the exception of one original composition, all the works on the album were originally written for piano. By transferring them to the accordion, new musical spaces and an enormous variety of tonal nuances open up. These works allow the artist to fully exploit the dynamic and tonal spectrum of her instrument. Unexpected juxtapositions, connections and transitions of different composers and epochs thus become a unity.
