Le Balcon

Gérard Grisey (1946-1998)
Vortex Temporum I, II, III (1994-1996)
for piano and ensemble

"Vortex Temporum (whirlwind of time) defines the birth of a formula of swirling, repeated arpeggios and its metamorphosis in different temporal fields. Here, I have attempted to deepen some of my recent research into the application of the same material to different times." Gérard Grisey
