Le Noir de l’Étoile, de Gérard Grisey at the Musica festival, with the ensemble Sixtrum (26.09.2025)

Mouvement ⎼ 01.10.2025 ⎼ full article (in French)
“Meteorites. A rain of fire. A seismic wave. Many phenomena sweep over us as we lie on the floor of Saint-Paul Church. Tonight, Les Percussions de Strasbourg perform Le Noir de l’Étoile by spectral music composer Gérard Grisey, a highlight of their repertoire since its debut in 1991.”

Diapason ⎼ 02.10.2025 ⎼ full article
“Transatlanticism could hardly be better symbolized than by the coming together of Les Percussions de Strasbourg and Sixtrum in Gérard Grisey’s Le Noir de l’Étoile (1991) […], with the two ensembles first performing in alternation before joining forces.”

Crescendo Magazine ⎼ 03.10.2025 ⎼ full article
“Kumiko Kotera, director of the Paris Institute of Astrophysics, […] delivers her text, poetic and rhythmically intoned, while the magnetic tape also carries astronomical signals, before sticks, mallets, and beaters take over to speak loudly and vividly of the remnants of dead stars scattered across the universe. The sounds spin, accelerate, slow down, come to abrupt stops, then surge again with the same intensity—I leave feeling dizzy and delighted, perched on a pulsar, far above any cloud.”
