About this product

This album pays tribute to composer Benjamin Britten, who will be commemorated in 2026, the 50th anniversary of his death. It was conceived by conductor Lawrence Foster who, with Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, showcases the British composer's impressionism tinged with post-Romanticism. The programme includes his sublime Illuminations, based on Rimbaud's poem, often performed by tenors but originally created by a soprano in 1940. Here, the young and very promising French soprano Julie Roset is the soloist, giving a very engaging performance. Another famous piece by Britten, Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, commissioned by the British Ministry of Education in 1945, is a set of variations on a theme by Purcell that showcases each family of instruments in the orchestra. Although the Sinfonia da requiem (1940) was commissioned by the Japanese government to celebrate the 2600th anniversary of the Mikado dynasty, Britten dedicated it to the memory of his parents. Finally, the Choral dances from Gloriana are taken from the opera-tribute to the Queen of England, who was crowned six days before the premiere on 8 June 1953.

In 1800, France was passionate about Haydn's music. The Paris Opera decided to stage a French version of his oratorio La Creation du Monde (The Creation of the World) in Paris, which had been completed two years earlier and premiered in Vienna. The first French performance of the work took place on December 24, 1800, a date that became historic because Bonaparte, First Consul and future Napoleon, decided to attend and narrowly escaped an explosion that killed 40 people and destroyed 15 houses... This French version has now been revived thanks to Julien Chauvin, who almost by chance came across the first edition (piano-vocal) of the French version of The Creation and who, with Le Concert de la Loge, the Choeur de Chambre de Namur, and leading vocal soloists (Julie Roset, Stanislas de Barbeyrac, and Nahuel Di Pierro), now presents the very first recording of it InchHaydn succeeds in developing an incredible palette; the orchestra is really there to personify and colour the verses, Inch says the conductor.

French soprano Julie Roset is one of the rising stars of the younger generation. Winner of both the Operalia First Prize in 2023 and the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition in 2022, Julie Roset was nominated for the Victoires de la Musique Classique in the Revelation Lyrique category in 2025. This is her first recital and the start of a multi-project collaboration with the Alpha Classics tag. With pianist Susan Manoff, she has devised a highly personal programme of French melodies that showcase her vocal qualities as a coloratura soprano and her mischievous, sparkling personality. It includes well-known melodists such as Debussy and Poulenc, as well as works by rarer composers such as Isabelle Aboulker, Mel Bonis and Louis Beydts.
