Beatrice Berrut: Abracadabra

Her intensive frequentation of the works of Liszt has nurtured her sense of narrative and her talent as a colourist. Beatrice Berrut knows how to turn her piano into a veritable orchestra, to mould the sound material, to create profoundly poetic atmospheres and transport us into a dreamlike world. For this musician, who grew up surrounded by nature, has kept her childlike soul and developed an imaginary universe populated by fantastical characters straight out of fairytale, though she does not hesitate to shake up its codes. Deftly handling the arts of transcription and composition, she tells us these stories in her own way, embracing sensuous delight, frissons and chaos. The magic of fairy tales mingles with the stuff of dreams in this programme, by turns flamboyant and poetic, its colours alternating between glitter and gentleness. While it begins with excerpts from the great ballet repertoire, it ends with well-known themes from the movie classics The Sword in the Stone and Harry Potter.
