Press: Portrait de Sophie Lacaze - Les Inrocks "Drawing her inspiration from different cultures, listening intimately to the world and nature, Sophie Lacaze has been deploying since the early 1990s a fiercely personal music, beyond any dogma, tending towards purity." Vocation: Composer - An Interview with Sophie Lacaze - Stretta Music An interview with Sophie Lacaze by Julie Mooser, Stretta Music, January 31, 2023 In French In English In German In Italian In Spanish BOOK "SOPHIE - LACAZE - PORTRAIT OF A COMPOSER" (by Geneviève Mathon - French version May 2018, English version May 2021) "... The sense of fertile dialogue, of an exchange of ideas, ..., is skillfully managed. There is much detail, but Lacaze emerges as someone who cares about the environment, is deeply enriched by the world we live in, holds a profound spirituality, and who is also very aware of the nature of her legacy and the ongoing function of music in peoples' lives... "dialogue obviously makes possible to identify the multiple facets of an interlocutor... prolific personality... creativity and commitment... "Musicologist Geneviève Mathon publishes a book of interviews with composer Sophie Lacaze. An enlightening and accessible introduction... CD "LES FEMMES DANSENT" (Axia Marinescu, Klarthe, France - Novembre 2021) « …the most modern pieces are perhaps also the most interesting and personal: the three by Germaine Tailleferre, …, and the Tarantella by Sophie Lacaze, acrobatic, solidly constructed and well resonant. » «.. and Sophie Lacaze (1963), featured in the program with a truly original, wild Tarantella.» "... Tarantella by Sophie Lacaze. Virtuoso, fiery, immutable, this sometimes terrifying piece is an opportunity for the pianist to reveal her great virtuosity, necessary to interpret this crazy dance.." « Right in the middle of all these dance pieces slips a well-felt Tarantella by our contemporary Sophie Lacaze. Where the Lisztian heritage dialogues with the colors, sounds and features of today, in a Dionysian impetus.» CD "ACCENTS" (Ensemble K, Aparté, France - January 2021) « ... Sophie Lacaze brings a real plus with her current vision of music while keeping real roots in traditional dances. It is really a personal asset since the work in question Histoire sans paroles is sublime, original while remaining discreet and accessible. » Histoire sans paroles « ... This efficient and successful piece leaves many questions open. And initiates a brilliant entry into the record world.. » Histoire sans paroles « ... The final work on the disc is contemporary French but takes the indigenous Australian peoples as its inspiration. Written for piano trio, it is full of vividly imagined textures for this tricky combination and some fascinating and evocative writing. Definitely a work to explore. » « ... magnificient trio, Histoire sans paroles, by Sophie Lacaze, which draws the listener into a spider's web from which he would never want to leave. » CD "SOUFFLES" (released in Dec.2012, Editions de l'Astronome, France)
Quatre haikus : '... a very fine sensitivity is shown in these four short pieces... Sophie Lacaze excels, who likes working with small shapes...' '« Souffles », it is an intense CD. A different CD. A CD that, like a breath of air, blows your mind. A CD that lets you without voice.... '... a novelty: the audio CD "Souffles" ("breathes"), newly published by the Editions de l'Astronome... Breathtaking.'' SOPHIE LACAZE'S MUSIC FOR FLUTE - Traversière Magazine n°104
'... In about 15 years, flute repertory has considerably grown thanks to her by solos, duos, music chamber works, pieces for flute orchestra. Flute is the favorite means of expression of this exceptionally gifted artist...'
'... A music of wide spaces, of abolished time... CONCERTS
' The symbiosis is astonishing between the instrument and the three voices when the quartet performs the remarkable score by Sophie Lacaze, I see the angel pass. The finesse and elegance of writing...'
'Then "Duo" by Sophie Lacaze, very beautiful voice by Kiyoko Okada and magnificent work of memorized sounds which resonate, duplicate, overlap ... For "Voices of Australia", I indulge in the pleasure of the moment: sunbathing, the open sky, the trees and the hot stone underfoot. An infinite sweetness to let us listen to.
'Contemporary music could not lose in this concert with multiple resonances; pleasure of discovery came from the
young composer Sophie Lacaze, whose
Voices of Australia
for solo flute and recorded voices, mix rhythms and weird, mysterious sounds of birds songs with human voices…
this symbiosis of living voices, made as an electronic mastering, had the savour of countless life calls'.
'This musical dream is a subtle approach of the beginning of the world.' (about Dreaming).
'A work by Sophie Lacaze, "Broken Words",especially written for the Helios ensemble: a magic moment.'
'Mysterious quartet "Broken Words" by Sophie Lacaze, with inventive rhythms and new sounds, inspired by the silence and the violences of Australian landscapes. Subtle.'
'Another intriguing trio was "Comme une rue pavee" for violin, clarinet and piano by French composer Sophie Lacaze, an atmospheric piece in which the musical interest is nicely spread between the three instruments.'
' "La Vita è Bella ?" revealed music of fluent charm and the kind of originality that can sometimes accompany modesty.'
'Great performance of trois melodies for voice and string trio by Lacaze. The audience was amazed.' GRAND PRIX LYCEEN DES COMPOSITEURS 'L'Espace et la Flute Flute is certainly the favourite instrument of the composer, who widenned its repertoire with at least 10 works. Her new work for the Grand Prix, L'Espace et la Flute, is a theme and variations composed on the surrealist poem by Jean Tardieu (1903 - 1995) written from Picasso's drawings, that was said by the excellent actor Alain Carre. A music with play character that mixes figurative aspects and beautiful sound colours.' E. Fottorino, La Lettre du Musicien, Apr. 2010 CD "PLURIELLES" (ensemble Helios, published in 2004, Editions Maguelone, France)
'The youngest composer of this CD, Sophie Lacaze, born in 1963, shows a sure talent with
Broken Words .'
'Voyelles, by Sophie Lacaze, is a clever work' |
