With the authorization from Première Music Group
Live concert at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord
With the support of the Orange Foundation
In coproduction with La Cité de la Voix
Ensemble Aedes
Mathieu Romano, conductor
Recorded on 4th October 2021, at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, Paris, as part of the "Lamento" programme
Film production : Les Archimèdes
The Aedes ensemble’s guest for this programme is the famous flamenco cantaora Rocío Márquez. Together they explore our most intimate emotions.
Looking beyond the lamento form, the Aedes ensemble embodies the power and depth singing can express. Based around Xenakis’ Night and Monteverdi’s Lamento della Ninfa, the programme juxtaposes choral singing with flamenco, in order to illustrate the torments of the human soul, the cruelty of mourning, the passion of love and the consolation of prayer. The flamenco songs, many taken from Rocío Márquez’ own repertoire, have been arranged to include choral voices, in counterpoint to the baroque and contemporary a cappella works we have chosen.
The two worlds are finally drawn together in a work for double choir and flamenco singer by Fabien Touchard.

Une des plus belles mélodies jamais écrite dans l'histoire de la musique, on peut littéralement en capter l'essence divine, même si l'on est un profane. Quelle beauté pure et quel réjouissance pour le cœur et l'esprit. L'interprétation ici n'est pas en reste et sublime encore davantage la partition déjà éblouissante. Bravo à cet ensemble habité et merci à son chef d'orchestre. A souligner, la captation sonore est admirable, la spatialisation est ample, les sons directs sont intelligibles et la réverbération est parfaite. Splendide.

A cry still heard around the world... Dona Nobis Pacem. Grant us peace.

Le climax à l'instant 4'30'' est un moment exceptionnel ainsi que le silence qui suit. Un concert inoubliable aux Bouffes du Nord
