After more than 50 000 discs of Violons of the world, Angèle Dubeau returns to us with a new version of Infernal Violins including a bonus DVD. Of all the instruments, the violin is undoubtedly the one that is most often associated with the Devil. Many historical engravings depict the violin at the service of the occult: the instrument in the grip of the Devil himself playing for the sleeping composer Tartini. The violin also appears in the hands of a demented Paganini accompanying a witches' dance, to mention but a few examples. Camille Saint-Saëns also conjures up scenes of infernal whirlwinds in his magnificent tone poem Danse macabre, Op.40 (1874). As can well be imagined, the Devil was not on "holydays" in the 20th century. He even distinguished himself particularly well... but such grave matters aside, the Fiend has led an active career on the contemporary music front, particularly in rock'n'roll, such as the British band The Rolling Stones. Here is a clever mix of the songs Paint it, Black and Sympathy for the Devil . Dompierre is also able to uncover the Devil's peculiar and provocative beauty in a work whose theme had haunted him for years, and which he wrote especially for La Pietà: Les Beautés du diable (The Devil's Beauties).
