Par POSTIC ANNE. Musiques traditionnelles arrangées pour la harpe celtique Dans ce recueil, Anne Postic nous montre qu'aucun rythme, aucun thème, aucun enchaînement ne pose problème à la harpe celtique. On y trouve quelques danses irlandaises endiablées qu'on n'avait entendues jusqu'ici qu'à la flûte ou au violon. Ses basses, au lieu de scander la musique sur les temps forts, comme on l'entend si souvent dans les musiques traditionnelles, se promènent sous la mélodie, lui donnant un « swing » inventif et malicieux qui donne à sa musique sa couleur si particulière. Passant de la Bretagne à l'Écosse ou à l'Irlande, tout en nous faisant découvrir quelques mélodies encore inconnues, Anne réinvente la harpe celtique, swinguant entre tradition et modernité, nous invitant à danser au son de son instrument, imaginant chaque fois un accompagnement plus subtil : jamais la harpe n'a été plus vivante ! / Date parution : 2010-11-01/ Répertoire / Harpe
