Cézanne's inner music
LONDON – What melody does one think of when looking at Holbein’s Ambassadors? Which harmonies with strings come out of the very ancient Wilton diptych? Which obsessive and fresh rhythm gives life to Cézanne’s Bathers? The National Gallery has looked for the answer to this question by ordering musical creations from great names of the contemporary scene among which Gabriel Yared, known for his sound tracks (Betty Blue, The British Patient), Chris Watson, the virtuoso of sound recording in nature (in particular for the documentaries by David Attenborough) or even DJ Jamie xx. An original approach to masterpieces.
