Info for Soleils de septembre

Astor Piazzolla was in his early thirties when he travelled to France to study composition with Nadia Boulanger at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau. Her guidance profoundly shaped his music. While Piazzolla sought to refine his classical style, Boulanger urged him to embrace his roots in tango, encouraging him to elevate, not abandon, his identity. This project celebrates their meeting by weaving together their musical worlds: Piazzolla’s Argentine heritage — Carlos Gardel, Alberto Ginastera — and Boulanger’s French influences, including Gabriel Fauré and Lili Boulanger, as well as her love for early music, reflected here through a consort of viols. The dialogue between classical works and Piazzolla’s Paris-era pieces evokes their extraordinary exchange: unexpected, magical, and unique.

François Joubert-Caillet
is today an key musician of the viola da gamba, following the early music pioneers steps by rediscovering forgotten beauties as well as abolishing frontiers between musics with transversal projects (traditional and new musics, electronics, improvisation, contemporary dance, etc.).

François Joubert-Caillet has been leading L'Achéron since 2009 on the most famous European stages and has recorded for Ricercar/Outhere many CDs, in particular the recording of Marin Marais' complete Pieces of Violes (5 Books/boxes, approximately 600 pieces, 20 CDs) awarded with Diapasons d'Or and Chocs by Classica.

Viola da gamba teacher at the Conservatoire de la Ville de Luxembourg and the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Nancy, François Joubert-Caillet also created Albus Fair Editions in 2021, an independent, fair and eco-friendly publishing house (www.albus-editions.com), where he published his first opus of his own works for viola da gamba, Isola, as well as L'Achéron last album, the adaptation of Johann Sebastian Bach Orgelbüchlein for voice, viola da gamba and bandoneon.

L'Achéron
In Greek mythology, Acheron is the river that Orpheus crosses to rescue Eurydice from the Underworld. As its name implies, L'Acheron wants to open a path between two apparently opposed worlds: that of the living and the dead, the past and the present, idealism and reality. ​

Created in 2009 by François Joubert-Caillet, L'Achéron is made up of artists from varied backgrounds: traditional music, contemporary, electronic, dance, theater, etc. and seeks to strengthen ties between the musicians and the public by making music accessible without denaturing it, painting with the richest and most sensitive palette all musics, wherever and whenever it comes from. ​​

L'Acheron has been invited to perform on the most famous stages in Europe; on record, L'Achéron has released many CDs by Ricercar-Outhere (J. Schenck, A. Holborne, S. Scheidt, O. Gibbons, JB Bach, PH Erlebach) awarded by Diapasons d'Or, Chocs de Classica and Echo Klassik. Latest release: adaptation of Bach's Orgelbüchlein for voice, viola da gamba and bandoneon by Albus Fair Editions.
