Accustomed to singular journeys and daring propositions, Christophe Desjardins now offers us a veritable comprehensive survey devoted to his instrument. Viola/Multiples, a double-CD set, reflects a large portion of his activity as a performer: his fruitful collaboration with today's leading composers and an ever-renewed desire to decompartmentalise genres and repertoires. The first disc, Solo, invites us to stroll through the 20th century, visiting the masterpieces for solo viola, from Paul Hindemith to Luciano Berio, that imposed it as a full-fledged solo instrument. Their interpretation, by a top-ranking artist so familiar with this repertoire, makes this a unique testimony to 20th-century music. The aim of the second disc, Multiples, is to open up musical and instrumental horizons by both the multiplying effect as well as by putting works of our time into perspective with pieces of early music. Using the technique of re-recording, Christophe Desjardins thus gives us a world premiere recording of Pierre Boulez's Messagesquisse but also increasing his instrument in other ways, creating dialogues between Gilles Binchois and Jonathan Harvey or Carlo Gesualdo and Wolfgang Rihm.
