商品簡介
舒曼,德布西等名家藝術歌曲集 - 人生故事
拉蔻兒.卡瑪琳娜 女高音
尤安.埃侯 鋼琴
In this new album, the Portuguese soprano Raquel Camarinha and the French pianist Yoan Hereau explore a rich variety of musical and poetic genres: 'Life Story' is a series of life stories with works that echo them down through the centuries, in different languages, that analyses a whole range of feelings of love.
The album owes its title to the text by Tennessee Williams, which also gave its name to opus 8 composed in 1993 by Thomas Ades, music with powerful expressivity, followed by Debussy's Baudelaire cycle. In addition to the pleasure of hearing the soprano sing in her mother tongue: A crianca em ruínas (A child in ruins), composed by Benjamin Attahir to the words of the author Jose Luís Peixoto, commissioned by the Festival Messiaen au Pays de la Meije in 2019, introduces a heartrending cry.
For Raquel Camarinha, "these airs tell of an intimate journey, the story of an unbearable grief that the narrator attempts to overcome, the experience of mourning and a return to peace in a sensitive perception of time and of loss."
The creation then gives way to a masterpiece of Romanticism, Frauenliebe und leben, in which Schumann relates eight episodes of 'a woman's love and life'. "In this work, more so than in the others," explains Yoan Hereau, "you perceive a unity of the piano and the voice. The piano is absolutely neither in the illustration nor the extension of the song."
To close this demanding programme, the reprise of the cult song 'Dance Me to the End of Love' gives us the clear voice of the soprano in contrast to the low, melancholic voice of Leonard Cohen. An arrangement of pure musical quality, poignant and restful.
A virtuosic programme covering different poetic and vocal spheres, also firmly rooted in the familiarity of the voice-piano duet that the two performers, have been working on together for some years now.
