Byrd / Pinel - Music for Christmas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The recording of this Chanson du vent is a celebration of Adolphe Biarent. This greatly neglected composer emerged from the shadows thanks to three album releases by Cypres. The cycle of Huit mélodiesfor mezzo-soprano completes this process aiming as it does to highlight an exceptional musical personality through world premiere recordings. Such an action can only work when based upon the total dedication of thoroughly committed performers who enhance a program inspired by the musical orientalism in vogue at that time. Album Tracks 1. Huit Mélodies Pour Mezzo-Soprano 2. La Captive (Orientale) Op. 12 3. Chanson Mauresque de Tunis 4. Medjé (Chanson Arabe) 5. Adieu de L'hôtesse Arabe 6. La Mort D'ophélie 7.
