Si vous n\u2019avez pas entendu parler de Grace Williams (1906-1977), ce n\u2019est pas enti\u00e8rement d\u00fb \u00e0 une vilaine r\u00e9pression machiste\u00a0: <\/span>dans les ann\u00e9es\u00a01920 <\/span>l<\/span>es compositrices \u00e9mergeaient et elles recevaient de forts d\u2019encouragements. <\/span>D\u2019ailleurs, la compositrice galloise <\/span>\u00e9tudiait \u00e0 Londres avec Ralph Vaughan Williams \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s au m\u00eame moment que ses deux cons\u0153urs Elizabeth Maconchy et Imogen Holst.<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams \u00e9tait particuli\u00e8rement amie avec Benjamin Britten, <\/span>comme en t\u00e9moignent les lettres conserv\u00e9es.<\/span> Elle est rest\u00e9e \u00e0 Londres dans les ann\u00e9es\u00a01930 et prenait ostensiblement part \u00e0 la vie musicale de la ville. Elle a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 souffrir de d\u00e9pression pendant la guerre et est rentr\u00e9e chez elle \u00e0 Barry, en 1945, o\u00f9 elle est rest\u00e9e pour les trente derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa vie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aucune des pi\u00e8ces sur cet album, r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par Madeleine Mitchell et son ensemble, n\u2019avait encore \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9e. Chaque pi\u00e8ce est hautement agr\u00e9able \u00e0 entendre, sans \u00eatre pour autant frappante d\u2019originalit\u00e9. Un superbe sextuor \u00e9voque le son de Vaughan Williams dans ce qu\u2019il a de plus pastoral, une sonate pour violon rappelle celui de Frank Bridge \u00e0 son plus aquatique et une suite pour neuf instruments aurait plu \u00e0 Nadia Boulanger pour ses r\u00e9f\u00e9rences \u00e0 Stravinsky.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitchell investit son c\u0153ur et son \u00e2me dans la sonate pour violon et dirige les autres pi\u00e8ces avec effervescence et flair. Je qualifierais cette musique d\u2019\u00ab\u00a0occasionnelle\u00a0\u00bb, au sens litt\u00e9ral du terme\u00a0: elle s\u2019\u00e9coute bien au bon moment et dans le bon \u00e9tat d\u2019esprit. J\u2019\u00e9coute toujours…<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
