Jean-Paul Dessy : Philia, for solo cello, world premiere (Pierre Fontenelle)

Deep, haunting, undulating, suspended... Philia is sprinkled with musical intentions leading the performer into a poetic, luminous world of sound, inspired by Shakespeare’s 18th Sonnet. Composed in summer 2021, the work has a truly tragic backstory and takes the form of an inverted theme and variations: 6 distinct variations follow each other before revealing the theme with disarming simplicity. I’ll leave the sonnet below for those who’d like to try and read into Dessy’s literary inspiration. Jean-Paul Dessy (*1963) : Philia, for cello solo (2021), world premiere, Live recording - Arsonic Concert Hall, Mons, Belgium, 23 February 2024 Pierre Fontenelle - Cello I was very lucky to perform the world premiere of this wonderful piece in February 2024 in the Arsonic hall in Mons, Belgium, during its biannual cello festival. Many thanks to Jean-Marc Lonfils and Emiko Nabeya-Lonfils for the filmography. I’m very grateful to them for their help and friendship. William Shakespeare 1564 – 1616 Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
