Des Canyons aux Étoiles (MIRARE)

ORDER

Contemporary

For her first recording, Adélaïde Ferrière sheds light on the contemporary percussion. As a remarkable percussionist, and nominated for a Victoire de la Musique award in 2017, she brings out the surprising features of her instruments for an album and a programme that perfectly suits her: radiant, powerful and striking.

Whether she chooses Xenakis or Hurel, Adélaïde Ferrière keeps displaying grace and a spectacular virtuosity: her playful performance is a delight, as much as it is an ode to rhythm and verve. Contemporary music is more alive than ever.

Press Review

Ceux que l’on surnomme parfois avec dédain “les musiciens du rang du fond” sont aujourd’hui des acteurs majeurs en termes de création contemporaine. Adélaïde Ferrière est de ces percussionnistes qui ont permis à leur famille d’instruments de sortir de l’ornière. Du haut de ses 23 ans, la jeune femme ose pour son premier disque, un programme aussi envoûtant qu’exigeant (…) Saisissant
