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.

After the success of their album Still Schubert, the Alfama Quartet, in its new configuration, records a new album devoted to the exacerbated romanticism in the music of Mendelssohn and Schumann.
So Far so Close, this shout, this cry that ruptures sound-space. Far Fanny and Close Clara or the contrary. Two female names inseparable from the names of Mendelssohn and Schumann, united here in their melancholy hues and romantic exuberance like a long love letter highlighting the sorrow of separation. Patrick Leterme’s Quartet, solar, ethereal and choral, fuses the tessituras of the four members of the mysterious and subtle formation that is the string quartet.
