VALENTIN CLASTRIER


VALENTIN CLASTRIER
LE BUCHER DES SILENCES (1994)
320 KBPS

Valentin Clastrier is one of the most innovative musicians in France. Although he launched his career as a guitarist, accompanying such French poets as Jacques Brel and Ricet Barrier, Clastrier has become increasingly experimental.
Introduced to the hurdy-gurdy in 1970, designed and built, with violin-maker Denis Siorat, an electro-acoustic hurdy-gurdy viola with twenty-seven strings rather than the standard six.
The instrument's flexibility has enabled Clastrier to explore new musical realms. His first solo-disc came out in 1984, receiving the grand Prix Audiovisuel de l'Europe by the Académie du Disque Français. His symphony "Esprits de la nuit" was recorded by te Philharmonistes de Chateauroux in 1986.
He collaborated with jazz musicians, a.o. Michel Portal, Michael Riessler, Louis Sclavis Michel Godard and Gérard Siracuse, and recorded under his own name the CD's Le Bûcher de silences, Hérésie, Palude. Get a taste of this unique artist with what I consider to be his finest achievement.
