Description
Moving freely from avant-garde events to traditional concerts, the Bozzini Quartet
was characterized by the Irish Times as a “group which gets its teeth into music:
quiet or loud, fast or slow, these Canadian musicians play with compelling
engagement.” With this new collection of recordings, Bozzini Quartet is pursuing its
desire to explore the diversity of contemporary music. This inaugural volume of the
collection,“Portrait Montréal,” pays homage to the richness of Montréal—the creative
link of the four featured composers; Claude Vivier, Jean Lesage, Michael Oesterle et
Malcolm Goldstein. It bears witness to Bozzini Quartet’s commitment to Montréal and
its artists.
Track Listing
Reviews
“Montréal is well worth the trip.”
La Folia (USA), December 2006
“Dans le jeu du Quatuor Bozzini la précision et la vivacité trouvent un
équilibre idéal… Le Quatuor Bozzini souligne de façon admirable les cellules
structurelles. En dépit d’une formidable impression d’accomplissement du jeu, la
froide perfection est bannie.”
MusikTexte #106 (Germany), September 2005
“… mais le tout demeure un joli portrait de nos compositeurs montréalais.”
emoRAGEi #23 (Québec), March 2005
“Picked as the Prix Opus 2001 “Discovery of the Year,” this is indeed an
ensemble to watch.”
The WholeNote #10:6 (Canada), March 2005
“Raffiné.”
SOCAN, Paroles & Musique #12:1 (Canada), March 2005
“… des croisements subtils et complexes entre les quatre musiciens.”
Revue & Corrigée #63 (France), March 2005
“… Quatuor Bozzini gives us both something to treasure now, and further delights
to look forward to.”
Splendid E-Zine (USA), February 2005
“What strikes me first listening to this CD is the enthousiastic and daring
playing by this quartet… First of all this CD introduces us to a great and ‘fresh’
string quartet and secondly it offers a well-balanced portrait of modern composed
music from Canada.”
Vital #456 (Netherlands), January 2005
“Une collection qui nous réserve bien des surprises.”
Voir (Québec), December 2004
“L’excellent Quatuor Bozzini grave un premier disque à l’image de son mandat de
faire découvrir les musiques contemporaines d’ici. Il le fait très bien, avec
cohésion et personnalité, avec l’éclectique Portrait Montréal.”
La Presse (Québec), December 2004
“Une très bonne nouvelle que ce premier disque du Quatuor Bozzini…”
La Scena Musicale #10:4 (Québec), December 2004
