To Death and the Maiden, a masterpiece of the romantic repertory for string quartet, this disc associates the gentle melancholy that impregnates Schubert's lieder as arranged and re-appropriated by Jean-Luc Fafchamps: here is an atypical cycle of melodies as a kind of progressive contamination of the Viennese master's music by sounds taken from the Belgian composer ! From harmonic modifications to the addition here and there of some twentieth-century instrumental techniques are starting a conversation with Franz Schubert, a desire for melancholy and a tender sorrow. The Alfama Quartet opens to the encounters, inviting Albane Carrere's pure and touching voice.
