A lyrical two-part work by Italian composer Luigi Nono, Al gran sole carico d´amore was composed in 1974 by commission Teatro alla Scala and dedicated to conductor Claudio Abbado and pianist Maurizio Pollini.

Website Staatstheater Mainz 

Coming home one night straight after a car accident, a woman feels her memory coming back to the edge of her consciousness and remembers all the fragments that make up what one calls the self: the happy times and the bereavements, the emotions and the memories imbued with eroticism, the dark thoughts, the people close to her, her emotions when faced with art…

Like a stream of consciousness, Papillon Noir is sung in a continuous yet halting breath by the soprano Elise Chauvin. Punctuated by the echoes of the Bardo Thödol, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Papillon Noir is an operatic monodrama, for voice, instrumental ensemble, choir and electronic devices, that creates a dialogue between music and text, awakening and forgetting, the secular and the sacred.

Léo Warynski and the Métaboles take you to their magical garden !

After Mysterious Nativity "A very beautiful disc to recommend to our listeners" (France Musique)
and Une nuit americaine "One of the best French choirs", (Resmusica)
the new disc Jardin féérique disc is out in March.

The release party will take place on March 28 at the Cathedrale Notre-Dame du Liban. le Jardin féérique is an a cappella program - Ravel, Saint-Saëns, Britten and Schafer - in which nature is alternately harmonic or fantastic garden, place of contemplation or reflection, or simply a soundscape.
The a cappella vocal writing of the composers recorded on this disc reveals, by their precision and their attention to detail, that they were also great orchestrators.
The Métaboles and their conductor, Léo Warynski, paid particular attention to the intelligibility and expressiveness of the voices, but also to the restitution of this orchestral dimension by means of all the dynamic palette that a choir can offer: the almost whispered piano at the strongest the widest and most intense.

Fenêtre sur cour(s)

From July 6 to 10, under the leadership of Léo Warynski, young choir conductors will have had the chance to conduct one of the best current vocal ensembles : les Métaboles, ensemble in residence at Royaumont (2019-2021).
The session will have allowed to approach the technique of choir direction, the specificities of interpretation of each of the repertories worked, as well as the challenges of the artistic direction of a choir. Sessions of musicological analysis have been planned with Louis Castelain (CMBV).

The young conductors will also have benefited from the advice of Philippe Hersant during an exceptional rehearsal in his presence.

On July 10, Fenêtre sur cour(s)] will be an opportunity for the laureates to direct several works worked during the session.

In 2020, the Franco-Austrian university of composition will take place in Salzburg.

A woman goes home. She gets comfortable, pours herself a drink, prepares to eat. Soon, her speech reveals faults, and from these faults spring images, memories, all those snippets of life which, over the years, have sedimented in her to make her person, her conscience, his "me": happy moments and mourning, dark ideas and moments of enjoyment, eroticism and emotions. From fault to fault, she realizes, and the public with her, that she is in shock : she has just had a car accident ... and we follow her to the brink of death, experiencing of what one could call a "hierophany": that is to say the manifestation of the transcendent in a phenomenon of our cosmos.
