Do you like Barber's Adagio – which the Orchester national de Lyon plays on February 8 under the direction of Clelia Cafiero? Here it is in its original instrumentation, with two quartets from Amy Beach and Philip Glass.
We too often forget that Barber's Adagio , before making moviegoers cry, was created within a string quartet, framed by two other equally successful movements. Symmetrical in structure, this score reveals a musician of great sensitivity, suddenly moving from introspection to worry or heightened joy. With Philip Glass's Third Quartet , it is cinema which is at the origin of music. Invited to compose a soundtrack for Mishima – a life in four chapters , Paul Schrader's biopic on the author of The Golden Pavilion , Glass delivers a score with a captivating repetitiveness, returning to the key moments in the life of the writer until his spectacular death. “The entire public would have ardently wanted to hear it again ,” wrote a Washington Post critic the day after the premiere of Amy Beach's One-Movement Quartet in 1942, fifteen years after its composition.
