Quentin Dujardin returns to the pure language of strings. ‘‘Janette sur son cheval’ is a luminous ode, written for his daughter, Janette—a solo guitar piece that traverses interior landscapes and vast open plains.

The song draws, note by note, the image of a young rider and her mount, advancing in perfect harmony under a vast sky. This music breathes the breath of a deep, almost ancestral bond between man and animal.

With his signature sensitivity, Quentin Dujardin paints a scene that is both intimate and universal—one of simple beauty, of a suspended moment.

« I have had the privilege of working with a good number of brilliant guitarist/composers over the years.  Quentin’s work and his creative process have shown that he belongs in the creative company of such illustrious musicians.  I feel fortunate to have been asked to collaborate with him in bringing this music out into the world.  And I think it is more needed now than ever. »
