On the Other Side

Quatuor Face à Face

Bernstein: West Side Story: Symphonic Dances
Gershwin: An American in Paris, tone poem
Markeas: Outside Rhythms

From Gershwin's "An American in Paris" to the world premiere of Alexandros Markeas' "Outside Rhythms" and Bernstein's "West Side Story," the two pianists and two percussionists of Quatuor Face à Face present a delightful program that breathes swing and freedom

Indispensable for the effect of the original instrumentation is the precise placement of the instruments and the rhythmic energy of the musicians. "On the Other Side" is both the ensemble's debut album and the first release on the French label Scala Music.
