K. Chemirani M. Chemirani Barou B. Chemirani - Ballades Amoureuses - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Sandrine Piau and Véronique Gens have a longstanding rapport and dreamed of making a recording together. Here they pay tribute to two singers who, like them, were born within a year of each other, Mme Dugazon (1755-1821) and Mme Saint-Huberty (1756-1812) both enjoyed triumphant careers in Paris, inspiring numerous librettists and composers. Gluck even nicknamed Saint-Huberty 'Madame-la-Ressource', while 'a Dugazon' became a generic name for the roles of naïve girls in love, and later of comical mothers. Rivals? They very likely were, given the quarrelsome spirit of the operatic world of the time, even if they never crossed paths on stage. Intermingling airs and duets, Piau and Gens here play the heroines of Gluck, Grétry, Monsigny, J. C. Bach, Piccinni, Edelmann and Cherubini. Developed in collaboration with the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles, this program on the cusp between Classicism and pre-Romanticism is very much the heart of the repertory championed by Julien Chauvin's Le Concert de la Loge.

Throughout the year, the Royaumont Abbey has welcomed, along with the Musée d'Orsay, young duets who work on their musical complicity with mélodie and lied undisputed masters such as Véronique Gens or Stéphane Degout, associating visual arts and music. B Records launched a new collection and therefore also joined this beautiful companionship, with a first album which will take you from Schumann to Ravel, from languishing German Romanticism to biting French poetry. The primary purpose of the Fondation Royaumont, which has owned the monastery buildings since 1964, is to conserve and enhance the outstanding heritage site. The foundation was set up to revitalize and develop the historic monument by giving it a cultural purpose as a permanent gathering place for artists. Thanks to the support of it's many public and private sector partners, Royaumont has become a leading international music and dance center. Album Tracks 1. Nöck (3 Balladen, Op. 129. No. 2) 2.
