Sonia Wieder-Atherton at the ‘Présences‘ Festival at Radio France.
Sonia Wieder-Atherton plays “Avant le son” for solo cello, composed by Sonia Wieder-Atherton after an Egyptian song.
A tale in two stages, “like freeze-frames, like incursions into time”: first Couperin’s Les leçons de ténèbres, or the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah.
Prophecy is the time of the future. Before the destruction and the tears: “we hear the song of the prophet who mourns, but the possibility that it won’t happen still exists”.
