Jean-Luc Fafchamps - Ensemble(s) '2024

Tracks list

Seen from the outside, Ensemble(s) is in a sense a kind of compilation of
unreleased or rare pieces covering nearly three decades. Five essential pieces
that count in the evolution of the Jean-Luc Fafchamps' writing. Post-spectral
works that definitively position Fafchamps as one of the important European
composers. It also weaves subtle links between him and Jean-Paul Dessy and
Musiques Nouvelles, once created by Henri Pousseur. This disc is undoubtedly the
best introduction to his work. Performed by Musiques Nouvelles. Conducted by
Jean-Paul Dessy.

"At the instigation of Jean-Paul Dessy, the Musiques Nouvelles ensemble
initiated all sorts of configurations to which I was often associated, and glad
to be. This album is the journal of these criss-crossing collaborations:
sometimes as part of the ECO (European Contemporary Orchestra) project, through
which Musiques Nouvelles met the Ensemble Télémaque (from France) and
Orkest de ereprijs (from the Netherlands) in a large orchestral formation;
sometimes for a project produced with Art Zoyd (France); sometimes as a string
ensemble or with Claire Bourdet as a soloist. I am glad to present, united in
one album, such different periods, contrasting collaborations and multiple
encounters not merely due to coincidence but also to affinities. May my style,
and the story of my questionings, give a certain consistency to this ensemble of
beautiful collaborations." --Jean-Luc Fachamps
