09. Vasks: Le fruit du silence
The Franco-Romanian pianist Mara Dobresco invites us towards the light through silence: “Silence of the arts during the pandemic, silence experienced as a musician, but also as a being, silence that brings us back to ourselves, to our spirituality, to our inner world.”
It is a tribute to Beethoven, a musician reduced to silence and yet capable of extracting marvels from it, giving a glimpse of a ‘beyond’ through his last works.
This quest for spirituality is reflected in the two creations by composers Philippe Hersant and Oscar Strasnoy, as well as in ‘The Fruit of Silence’ by Pēteris Vasks, a work inspired by an anaphora of Mother Teresa.
