For her new recording entitled "Or" (Light), cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton has conceived a two-part narrative, "a series of still images, like intrusions into time": first Couperin's Les leçons de ténèbres or the lamentations of the prophet Jeremiah. Prophecies arise in the time before. Before destruction and tears: "We hear the prophet's lament, although there is a possibility that this will not happen." Then comes "our time": "Vivaldi's dramatic power confronts us with the present. He says: "It is here now." Sonia has chosen several excerpts from his operas and from two violin concertos. She has transcribed most of the pieces in this program for solo cello or two cellos, two voices that she plays herself. She has also devised bridges to other sounds, those of Mahut's percussion and Marius Atherton's electric guitar and MS20 synthesizer.
