Gérard Grisey, Fabien Lévy - Gérard Grisey Fabien Lévy

Review by Michelle McQuaid

The album Gérard Grisey Fabien Lévy by Gérard Grisey and Fabien Lévy is an exceptional piece of music that showcases the talents of two of the most innovative composers of their time. The album features a collection of works that are both complex and beautiful, with a focus on exploring the limits of sound and texture.

The album begins with Grisey's "Partiels," a piece that is characterized by its use of microtonal tuning and its exploration of harmonic overtones. The piece is performed with precision and sensitivity by the Ensemble Intercontemporain, and it sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Lévy's "Mécanique Incertaine" is another standout track on the album. The piece is a study in rhythm and texture, with a focus on the interplay between different instruments and sounds. The performers bring a sense of urgency and intensity to the piece, creating a sense of tension and release that is both exciting and exhilarating.
