Une nuit américaine

20 €

A program that honours American vocal music from the 20^th and 21^st centuries, with emblematic composers from that country’s great choral tradition. Whether it’s Barber – and his famous Agnus Dei, but also his The Reincarnations, a cycle of songs based on Irish poems – Copland – a major figure of his generation, and author of an important body of choral works – or more recently Eric Whitacre, a young composer whose reputation has long spread beyond the borders of the United States.

To accompany this musical program, Quentin Bisch has imagined a cycle of four fragrances that lead the audience from dusk to dawn.

Great beauty of the ensemble, the purity of the vocal tones and the refinement of these young singers who allow them to have a unique sound Thu, 02/02/2017 - 12:00 Classica - Romaric Gergorin Une nuit américaine (CD)	Une nuit américaine – Works by Copland, Barber, Feldman, Whitacre Aa beautiful panorama of vocal works all imbued with great fervor without ever falling into a firefighting drama, fatal pitfall to many contemporary composers. (...) ... we must salute the great beauty of the ensemble, the purity of the vocal tones and the refinement of these young singers who allow them to have a unique sound that we would like to hear in Feldman's "Rothko Chapel" rather than in the anecdotal "Christian Wolf in Cambridge". So this beautiful record delights us while missing a little flesh, daring and risk-taking "
