A propos des Quatuors \u00e0 cordes de Robert Casadesus.<\/em><\/p>\n

“C’est avec grand plaisir que je pars sur les traces de Robert Casadesus, compositeur, interpr\u00e8te.
\nTout d’abord, je l’\u00e9coute jouer son sextuor opus 58 pour piano et quintette \u00e0 vents : quelle fougue, quelle \u00e9nergie ! Voil\u00e9 exactement la pulsation que nous recherchons sans cesse dans nos r\u00e9p\u00e9titions. C’est une piste essentielle : le rythme est moteur, g\u00e9n\u00e9rateur, souffle.
\nJe remarque amus\u00e9e que les quatuors sont \u00e9crits durant les tourn\u00e9es de Robert Casadesus : Chicago, Denver, Princeton et Riga. Ils nous invitent sans cesse au voyage. Le paysage est modal, les rythmes souvent nous entra\u00eenent au-del\u00e0 des mers. Je d\u00e9couvre que son opus 1 porte d\u00e9j\u00e0 le titre “Voyage Imaginaire”.
\nL’exaltation de la virtuosit\u00e9 est tr\u00e8s sensible dans ces quatre quatuors, la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence supr\u00eame \u00e9tant la citation du final de l’opus 59 n\u00b03 de Beethoven. (Nous sommes entra\u00een\u00e9s dans un tourbillon de plus en plus d\u00e9licat jusqu’\u00e0 atteindre le pays des “touches noires” dans le final du deuxi\u00e8me quatuor). J’\u00e9coute aussi la Sonate opus 34 n\u00b02 pour piano et violon. Je suis saisie par la beaut\u00e9 de son phras\u00e9. Alors je r\u00eave de retrouver ces sonorit\u00e9s magiques, fluides et chaudes.
\nJ’esp\u00e8re que notre Quatuor atteindra le naturel et non pas l’artifice \u00e0 l’instar de Robert Casadesus.”<\/p>\n

\nA propos des sonates pour piano et des variations sur un th\u00e8me de M. De Falla de Robert Casadesus.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Simple d’apparence, ce piano bien \u00e9crit et tr\u00e8s lisible demande \u00e0 l’interpr\u00e8te un second regard plus attentif. Au-del\u00e0 des (nombreuses) difficult\u00e9s techniques, j’ai d\u00e9couvert une musique rythmiquement tr\u00e8s exigeante qui r\u00e9v\u00e8le peu \u00e0 peu sa complexit\u00e9 pour exprimer la jubilation ou la retenue. J’ai appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 cette perfection dans l’\u00e9criture et la rigueur des indications de l’auteur, tout \u00e0 fait dans la lign\u00e9e d’un Ravel et de la musique fran\u00e7aise.
\nContrastant avec le caract\u00e8re \u00e9nergique et robuste, presque slave, qui domine les mouvements rapides, les tr\u00e8s beaux mouvements lents, habit\u00e9s par la gr\u00e2ce et la contemplation, t\u00e9moignent d’un bien-\u00eatre profond, presque un recueillement.
\nEcouter et d\u00e9couvrir le piano de Robert Casadesus, c’est comme go\u00fbter un grand vin : on est imm\u00e9diatement s\u00e9duit, on en redemande et puis l’ivresse vous gagne.
\nC’est un peu dans cet \u00e9tat que j’ai explor\u00e9 chacune des sonates avant d’envisager l’int\u00e9grale. Quant aux Variations, elles sont un chef-d’oeuvre. Robert Casadesus a \u00e9t\u00e9 merveilleusement inspir\u00e9 sur ce th\u00e8me de Manuel de Falla, cyclique tout au long de la pi\u00e8ce. La progression vers le feu d’artifice final est d’une grande intensit\u00e9 et le pianiste comme l’auditeur sont emport\u00e9s dans un climat envo\u00fbtant.”<\/p>\n

\nA propos des deux trios opus 6 et 53 et de la sonate pour violoncelle et piano opus 22 de Robert Casadesus.<\/em><\/p>\n

“D\u00e9couvrir la musique \u00e9crite par un grand interpr\u00e8te est un privil\u00e8ge rare : celui d’acc\u00e9der \u00e0 son jardin secret. Si l’on conna\u00eet – et admire – Robert Casadesus pour ses interpr\u00e9tations pianistiques, alors, c’est avec une curiosit\u00e9 toute particuli\u00e8re que l’on aborde ses oeuvres. En effet, interpr\u00e8te rigoureux et respectueux des auteurs qu’il jouait, Robert Casadesus s’effa\u00e7ait derri\u00e8re ceux-ci. Son jeu parfaitement ma\u00eetris\u00e9 \u00e9tait fait d’\u00e9l\u00e9gance, de raffinement, de pudeur. Il ne s’\u00e9panchait pas.
\nDans son oeuvre, force est de constater que Robert Casadesus se livre beaucoup plus intimement. Ce qui frappe au premier abord, c’est une couleur tr\u00e8s particuli\u00e8re, faite bien entendu de l’utilisation des modes, mais qui, au-del\u00e0 du langage employ\u00e9, r\u00e9v\u00e8le une sensibilit\u00e9 profonde empreinte \u00e0 la fois de nostalgie et de lyrisme. Utilisant des \u00e9l\u00e9ments tr\u00e8s simples, des th\u00e8mes quelquefois m\u00eame enfantins, Robert Casadesus nous entra\u00eene dans un univers qui lui est propre, et il sait nous y maintenir. De toute \u00e9vidence, il ma\u00eetrise la forme, il sait construire sans donner jamais l’impression de se r\u00e9p\u00e9ter.
\nGrand interpr\u00e8te mozartien, mais aussi contemporain et familier de nos grands ma\u00eetres fran\u00e7ais, Faur\u00e9, Debussy et Ravel, on retrouve dans sa musique des caract\u00e9ristiques \u00e9galement pr\u00e9sentes chez ces musiciens : clart\u00e9 du discours, sens de la couleur, pudeur du lyrisme, \u00e9quilibre des proportions, sans que jamais sa musique ne donne \u00e0 penser qu’elle est inspir\u00e9e par l’un ou l’autre de ces glorieux a\u00een\u00e9s.
\nLa musique de Robert Casadesus lui est personnelle, elle ne copie aucune autre tout en \u00e9tant respectueuse des r\u00e8gles musicales et elle nous touche parce qu’elle vient du coeur. Nous avons eu plaisir \u00e0 la d\u00e9couvrir, plaisir doubl\u00e9 aujourd’hui de celui de la r\u00e9v\u00e9ler au public.”<\/p>\n
