“Le résultat est passionnant et absolument convaincant. Une contribution extrêmement précieuse au sein des interprétations historiquement informées, mais aussi un plaisir en soi !”
Une très belle critique de la part du magazine allemand Rondo et une belle récompense de 5 pour notre album Heavenly Songes par l’ensemble La Quintina disponible ici https://smarturl.it/heavenly_songes
Pour bien commencer l’année que nous vous souhaitons la plus agréable: 5 Diapasons pour le second volume des Messes retrouvées de Titelouze.
“Les Meslanges ont l’enthousiasme des défricheurs. La doublure des voix par des cornets, sacqueboutes, serpent ou violes crée de riches couleurs, sans jamais masquer la profération d’un texte savamment prosodié qui est leur raison d’être …. La cohérence est telle qu’au détour d’un enchaînement, le miracle se produit : la première note de l’orgue semble sortir d’un gosier…” Vincent Genvrin Diapason, janvier 2021.
Alexandre Collard
First Prize winner at the Prague Spring International Music Competition in 2018 – along with the prize for best interpretation of the contemporary piece, the International Horn Society Prize, the Radio Free Europe Prize and a further nine awards, Second Prize winner at the Città di Porcia International Competition in 2013 and laureate of the Autumn Music Festival Competition (FMAJI) in 2011, Alexandre Collard has been among the elite musicians of his generation since his studies, first with Guy Mouy in Douai and then with André Cazalet at the Paris Conservatory.
A lover of the great symphonic repertory, Alexandre joined the Lille National Orchestra as solo horn at the age of 21, and has also played with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Philharmonique de Radio France and Dissonances, as well as performing solo concertos.
He is regularly invited to prestigious international chamber music festivals (Juventus, Deauville, Prague, Ticino etc.), and has played there together with artists such as Alena Baeva, Alissa Margulis, Graf Mourja, David Petrlik, Julian Steckel, Marie Hallynck and Jonas Vitaud.
His desire to explore the chamber music repertory led him to create the Ensemble Polygonestogether with his cellist wife, Natacha Colmez. This group mixes winds, strings and piano in a flexible, geometrically variable manner that allows them to interpret a great variety of works ranging from the very famous to lesser known treasures, contemporary pieces and spectacles for young audiences. The group has a particularly close collaboration with the composer Camille Pépin, and recently recorded a CD of her chamber music. He also plays sonata with the pianist Nicolas Royez, their first disc Aquarelles is to be released in January 2021.
Renowned pedagogue, he teaches in Douai, his hometown’s conservatory.
