| "It appears that the contemporary music is on the down side. I have a frenetic impression that such a CD allows this type of music to come to the surface." Paul Meunier - Télérama "Sound images that are unheard of, the massive and vibrating clusters that are mastered with power." "Sometimes evolving by superimposed, static and contemplative sound layers, sometimes by contrast nets, rapids, even violent, this music remains unpredictable. The climate is both varied and rich." "THE CRAZIEST DISC, the most marvelous, the most esoteric, and the most rational... yes, all of this at the same time." "One of the specialists in the musical improvisation on a large organ, who uses all of the resources of both rich and eclectic musical personality" "A great page of improvisation that rejoins the personal experiences of the artist that is revealed in his playing" "As for the improvisation in which Guy Bezançon has become master, it implies the technical overcoming, where one can almost feel the inside of the instrument." "A kind of incantatory ability" "The organist's inspiration, spirituality, and musical design - that one guesses to be deliberate - are forcefully expressed... floods of life which break, a passion to play, to improvise out of the normal paths." "A furiously personal tone. The raging music, tense, violent, contrasting, explodes in great dissonances and seizes you, cramps you and carries you into a long relentless swirl." "Violent contrasts, long contemplation episodes, real communion between the organist and the instrument." "In the open path created by Olivier Messaien, Guy Bezançon discovers new colors, new tones and creates improvisation as an initiatory trip." "A virtuoso of the contemporary organ and electroacoustic music" | "An inextinguishable vitality" Actuel "An authentic spirituality... Is it not, afterall, the irreplaceable power of the organ within a prayer at church? A trial which is worth a master's." "A modern organ, a voice, a weird type of composition, that energizes." "The magic of signs and sounds" "Be it from the past or avant-garde, it is above all spirituality, craving for another world... A dynamic and powerful music, which does carry you on an inner path" "Away from any stylistic school, a very large musical composition where he uses all orchestral and musical possibilities of the organ." "A space of liberty he shares with all... No other work can be more captivating than his." "From the first measure to the last one, his music remains unpredictable. The tempos are as varied as they are rich." "These improvisations are amazing, somewhat incredible, sometimes unbearable, in any case, you will never feel indifferent." "His improvisations are firmly built and they possess the rhythmical, melodic, and harmonic continuity, which is the very essence of music. A real artist." "One of the most friendly personalities, he is both a lover of Music and Art" "... vitality of musical composition, unexpected gaps: those belong to contemporary music. It is so essential in its mineral sensuality, so pregnant in a real mystical climate, that it touches us deeply, whether we are connoisseurs or not." "One is caught up in a dissonant future, twenty years beyond contemporary harmonies, you feel you are twenty years late, and he is twenty years ahead of his time, that is a total of forty years. The same is true for his paintings. There is no discussing, you simply have to sit back and absorb." |
