NOTE D'INTENTION

”For more than a thousand years sad Ophelia
Has passed, a white phantom, down the long black river”

A. Rimbaud

​

The Béla String Quartet invites the stunning cellist Noémi Boutin for a tenebrous creation.

French-Argentinian composer Daniel D’Adamo writes to sublime and crepuscular Franz Schubert’ String Quintet a preamble for the five musicians. The timeless theme of this new piece is the young woman, mortally attracted to water, such as Shakespeare’s Ophelia or ancient Persephone.

Béla String Quartet’s musicians, hidden and invisible to the public, are the dormant water, dangerous mirror of the young woman’s beauty. Noémi Boutin, alone on stage, is the young woman, enebriated victim of her own reflection and flow’s fatal snares.

​

Daniel D’Adamo’s accomplished art of writing serves the seductive and lethal sounds of this instrumental melodrama.
