Fantasie-Après avoir achevé la création de la Terre Dieu créa l’homme et la femme. Il les bénit et leur dit : « Soyez féconds multipliez-vous remplissez la terre et soumettez-la. (…) ». Cette fantaisie illustre la manière dont l’homme a réellement fait usage de cette recommandation. Le passage d’ouverture décrit la création de l’être humain. Et puis très vite l’homme part en guerre contre ses frères. L’impossibilité d’enrayer le processus en cours conduit l’homme vers une déshumanisation. La nature et l’environnement souffrent plus que jamais des dommages causés par l’humanité. Dans sa logique de domination absolue l’homme a détourné et oublié le sens premier de la recommendationdivine : la responsabilité et le respect envers la terre.La nature finit toujours par reprendre ses droits. S’il veut survivre l’homme doit se réconcilier avec elle sinon il est amené à disparaître. L’humanité hésite encore quant au chemin à suivre tandis que des fanfares annoncent le Jugement dernier. Genesis (La Genèse se développe dans un environnement harmonique bitonal et dissonant en osmose avec la nature du sujet traité. Impressionnante sur le plan sonore cette œuvre reste néanmoins accessible et agréable pour les musiciens et le public.

...some moments for Ludwig van...-Sweet echoes of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in the introduction bring a gentle slumber. Breathing is calm and sleep holds the promise of rest and relaxation. With the onset of the REM sleep phase however in which most dreams take place and where the day’s events are worked through we hear other sounds played. With distorted sounds reminiscent of an old gramophone the music pulls the listener inevitably ever deeper into the dreamscape in a very realistic dangerous situation that comes to a dramatic head. It triggers a desperate struggle between theimpulse to awaken and the exhausting urge to flee. For a short moment it seems as if the wakeful urge has won out before dream’s powerful spell is again cast and there’s no escape…
