Such a wonderful composer! I remember being so much impressed playing the orchestral piano/celesta part at the premiere of his "Mana"... It was so pity to learn that he passed away so young...
He finishes: "PS: my deepest thanks to the composer Philippe Hurel, his teacher for one year at IRCAM and his lifelong friend, for sharing a few last moments of emotion and analysis of the character, his career and his legacy, and also thank you to the many messages of support such as Catherine Bolzinger (vocal ensemble Strass Voice) by e-mail, not to mention the other major professor, composer Ivan Fedele".
Hi inci! I put up a link in the description to Jean Henri Huber (with further contact information if one wish to write him). He writes obituaries on modern composers and on modern music in general. What he writes is respectful all the way, in fact it only praises the composer and his music. His tribute seems honest and credible (at least to me).
Je trouve *Vertigo* de Ch. Bertrand individualiste, expressionniste, et *Répons* cosmique et puissant. *Répons* serait la vision que l'honnête homme a du monde, lui permettant de transformer les surgissements de l'angoisse en obstacles clinquants et intéressants, voire informatif. *Vertigo* est un "parcours" et le sujet détient une pierre philosophale pour changer les obstacles en or. je pense à une espèce de jeu vidéo de plateforme ou à une course-poursuite paranoïaque dans un film de suspense. Pour prendre des musiques parmi le peu que je connais en tant qu’auditeur, je dirais que dans *Vertigo*, le sujet est actif, à l’intérieur du phénomène mondain ; dans *Répons*, il est à l’extérieur et le contemple.
His music reminds me of a kaleidoscope. Someone mentioned that he had suffered with bipolar disease; this is the manic side. I am interested to see if he wrote anything from the other side, although I doubt it because my father had the same disease and there were times when he spent weeks in bed when he was down. It is brilliant stuff.
@@Protonixum If it is difficult to say which is the most important influence for a composer, it is maybe because this composer has an own strong persoanality, But i think too that Ligeti was an important influence for the french spectral composers (but not for the romanian spectralism).
L'équivalent musical d'une peinture de Salvador Dali, Bertrand peint un paysage où toutes les horloges ont fondues, la logique s'est transformée et a été délibérément obscurcie par le hasard apparent. A l’écoute, ce qui semble être dissonances est en fait une sculpture dense, malgré parfois quelques digressions baveuses, hautement travaillée de polyrythmies et de thèmes musicaux qui s'accordent avec la poésie absurde et ludique de ce compositeur 🐾
Like me, but when I compose or write, I have not any crisis. Crisis of madness don't allow to have talents. So I think he made his works despite the illness.
Why did he put it in? I think...because the concept itself of this Work(Vertigo) is actually based on Hitchcock's movie 'Vertigo'(The Artwork also resembles the one at the beginning of Hitchcock's film.). Bertrand humorously quoted Bernard Hermann's famous film score for Psycho, which also contributed to Hitchcock's music.(Hermann also took part in composing for Vertigo.)
Sorry Victor Alexander, but this composer does not belong to the classical current of contemporary music !!!!!! It should rather be associated with the spectral music of Tristan Murail, Gérard Grisey or Philippe Hurel !!!
It's not music, it's sonic art and as such, of the better kind - better than, for instance, Boulez, or Haas or Murail. This is a piece full of conflict and violence, sonic art trying to become music because it uses the rhetoric of musical processes. But the notes are mostly defined by structuralist, mechanical processes, not by musical processes. But the gestures are dramatic, borrowing from music. Compared with, for instance, PB's Eclats Mutiples, which is quite boring and empty in comparison, this Vertigo is really dramatic (borrowing a fragment from the track of Hitchcock's horror movie 'Psycho'). Bertrand committed suicide and maybe in this piece one can hear a very mixed-up psyche, it is full of angst. What would he have written if he had allowed himself to write music instead? Something like Mahler? But then he would have had to break with the french modernist establishment which provided him with performances etc.

I'm just discovering this young and brilliant composer, but he's already dead. What a tragedy! RIP.
Christophe Bertrand: un vrai genie de la musique française!
quelle musique géniale ! pleine de force, avec une sûreté d'écriture bouleversante et une orchestration magistrale
a wonderful, magical kaleidoscope
Such a wonderful composer! I remember being so much impressed playing the orchestral piano/celesta part at the premiere of his "Mana"... It was so pity to learn that he passed away so young...
Did you so?
@@TempodiPiano Yes, as a part of the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra
He finishes: "PS: my deepest thanks to the composer Philippe Hurel, his teacher for one year at IRCAM and his lifelong friend, for sharing a few last moments of emotion and analysis of the character, his career and his legacy, and also thank you to the many messages of support such as Catherine Bolzinger (vocal ensemble Strass Voice) by e-mail, not to mention the other major professor, composer Ivan Fedele".

Absolument bien vu et bien écrit ; foi de musicien cher Nicolas !!

Chef d'oeuvre !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen also to MANA...
Le début fait penser au coup de fouet du début du concerto en sol de Ravel !
Mais le tout plutôt à Ligeti, non ?
Mind blowing
Strong Ligeti influence, but really nice.
There may be a little Ligeti but it is above all a strong influence coming from the spectral movement ... (Philippe Hurel...)

@@didierschein8515 Very likely indeed.
@@Protonixum Finally I feel more resemblances in this music with the music of Haas than with Grisey or Murail.
very good

Where can you find these info about him, especially those about his death... I'm not sure if the links I found on google are reliable or not.?
sodelicious
so good...
Still here
Musique fascinante! Sera-ce un jour enregistré? Ca le mériterait amplement!
Cette vidéo est un enregistrement, n'est-ce pas ?
@@TempodiPiano je parlais d'enregistrement CD. A ma connaissance, il n'en existe pas pour le moment...
@@chevauchoir Un coffret de 3 CD de toute sa musique instrumentale et orchestrale est sorti sur le label Bastille musique.
@@lonchaneyfanch9568 oh merci ! Je n'étais pas au courant ! Bonne journée !
rip.
How can i acquire this man's incredible music? I can find no trace of recordings on any of the outlets with which i am familiar

Indeed. He suffered from bipolar disorder

16:44 Alfred Hitchcock..?
Yep :Psycho ! by Bernard Herman....

nice
The audio is compressed. Dynamics weaken. Sad.
Swats of sound goes back and forth like a tennis match
What is the picture in the video?

True, it has nothing to do with Ligeti, as a colleague says.
