Brahms: Violin Concerto, Symphony No.4

Grimal, David, Les Dissonances

LD 005

World premiere : the Fourth Symphony of Brahms without a conductor! The musicians of Les Dissonances inaugurate this with audio and video, the full cycle of Brahms symphonies without a head and the concerto for violin and orchestra. Les Dissonances reinvent the musical practice through a participatory organization where all share the same artistic standards. Violin and orchestra are one, the interpretation of the work being carried both by solar violin David Grimal and intense listening to the structure of the work by all the musicians. The unique sound of this record is based on the use of period instruments by Les Dissonances, all brilliant soloists from major European orchestras. This audio and video recording is accompanied by the book 'Utopia and Combat', conversation between the philosopher Paul Audi and David Grimal, a political manifesto of the adventure shared by Les Dissonances. The result is a unique and... dissonant worldview of music that both men try to resonate with today's society. The 'Dissonance' by the essence of the spirit that animates serve as a pretext, in the manner of 'Persian Letters' to question the world.
