Jodyline Gallavardin - Nuit Blanche

Entering the night like boarding a train, apparitions at the window slip into fleeting reveries. Shifting landscapes, these worlds pass through us. As the sun rises, we have not slept. Lyapounov's Rêverie du soir in B minor opens this journey. Scriabin's Fantaisie, also in B minor, ends in the light of B major. From dusk to dawn, each piece follows the other with a fluidity that is obvious to the ear. Worlds alternate, metamorphosing. The last notes of Vasks' Music for a summer evening are the same as the first of Lourié's Berceuse. The last fragile Prelude, in G sharp minor, foreshadows the key of Scriabin's Sonata-Fantaisie, which follows. From evening to dawn: landmark works and little-known gems come together to weave the same dreamlike story of a luminous night.
