Quatuor Modigliani, Bertrand Chamayou, Yann Dubost, Gautier Capuçon
La Grange au Lac, Évian, 6th July 2020
While UK concert halls remain closed to the public, my armchair travels have carried me far and wide, from the Musikverein to the Metropolitan Opera. But few venues are quite as astonishing as La Grange au Lac, Patrick Bouchain’s pine and red cedar hall nestled in Évian-les-Bains, overlooking Lake Geneva. From the outside, it looks like an ample Russian dacha, aptly given that the first artistic director of its chamber music festival was Mstislav Rostropovich. But the wooden interior is stunning, the stage wrapped by rows of silver birch trees, above which hang six Murano crystal chandeliers.
