Stravinsky / Debussy

Debussy and Stravinsky, two composers who admired each other and completely revolutionised the sound world they inhabited. Such innovation found its way into their piano music, creating colours, texture and rhythms unheard of till then.

To re-experience this sense of novelty, Katia and Marielle Labèque project the works they perform through the prism of visual art, commissioning Tal Rosner, video-artist, to set free his imagination. His interpretation of the scores, perfectly captures the rhythm and plasticity of Stravinsky and Debussy.

By working on urban landscapes and architectural geometries, Rosner creates a digital mutation of figurative images where the piano's sounds and tone-colours can expand and glide…

A CD and DVD perfectly entwined.
