VERSAILLES 400 LIVE

Jean Michel Jarre

Techno - Released February 23, 2024 | Columbia Local

Hi-Res
Always on the cutting edge of new technologies since his beginnings in the 70s at Pierre Schaeffer's GRM (the  music research group of the French Broadcasting and Television Office, where concrete and electronic music were born), Jean-Michel Jarre has conceptualized an augmented reality concert to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Palace of Versailles. The French artist, who had already given a concert in virtual reality for 2020's Fête de la Musique (a French music celebration that takes place on June 21st each year), set up his machines and donned his virtual reality headset once again in the famous Hall of Mirrors for an hour-long show on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2023. A limited audience was able to attend the "concert-production hybrid" live at the palace, but it was also broadcast to the metaverse to be watched via virtual reality.For Versailles 400, Jarre took an understated approach, with a concert lasting precisely an hour, a duration undoubtedly linked to the exceptional conditions imposed by the location. He starts off with music evocative of Jean-Baptiste Lully, using a harpsichord and vocals modified via a talk-box ("Le Château"), before going on to the hit "Epica Oxygène," delivering a rather rhythmic show, slowly but surely transforming the Hall of Mirrors into a techno rave or a new wing of the ISS. After the Egyptian pyramids and the Red Square, Jean-Michel Jarre can check yet another historical site off his list. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz

Inferno e Paradiso

Simone Kermes

Classical - Released February 7, 2020 | Sony Classical

Hi-Res Booklet
From the beginning of this album which kicks off with great fanfare, it’s clear that the latest recording from Simone Kerles is a joyful carnival that shouldn’t be taken too seriously. The tone is established even before listening, with the kitsch cover that appears to suggest Kermes is the Lady Gaga of baroque music, a star who is in fact indirectly present on the album, alongside… Udo Jurgens. You could wonder what Erbame dich, mein Gott from the St. Matthew’s Passion is doing in this light-hearted romp. Allow Simone Kermes to explain: this album is a political act which questions whether humility and temperance still have a rightful place in this world stained by climate change, mass extinction, terrorist attacks and megalomania. The result fourteen pieces cover four centuries and touch on the seven cardinal sins as well as the seven Christian virtues by means of music by Leonardo Vinci (not Da Vinci!), Handel and several Italian and German baroque composers with detours via present day jazz and rock musicians: the aforementioned Lady Gaga, Jimmy Page and Sting. A cheeky and invigorating way of taking a closer look at all of society’s many foibles and paradoxes that we’re living through today. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Un Jour Si Blanc

François Couturier

Jazz - Released January 25, 2010 | ECM

The title of François Couturier's album, Un Jour Si Blanc, comes from a poem by Soviet filmmaker Andreï Tarkovsky, an artist with whom the pianist is fascinated and whose work was the inspiration for his entire 2006 album, Nostalghia: Song for Tarkovsky. The French pianist has devoted most of his career to jazz, but he obviously knows the classical repertoire well because in previous albums he has made musical references to composers as diverse as Pergolesi, Beethoven, Schoenberg, and Schnittke. That broad frame of reference gives his music an uncommon expressive scope, and the selections on this album offer an impressive stylistic and emotional range. It's possible to hear the influence of Messiaen in L'aube, Ligeti in the crystalline chromatic sections of the title track, and sultry hints of Piazzolla in Voyage d'hiver, but there is no sense of appropriation because the voice is always Couturier's own. His dazzlingly crisp technique gives him the freedom to explore and create pianistic figures that would be out of the reach of all but the most virtuosic players. In the more meditative pieces, he plays with a mesmerizing, unhurried serenity and flexibility; it almost feels like it's possible to hear him listening. Couturier can be heard quietly vocalizing in the more intense passages, but it's no distraction. The album should appeal to fans of both jazz and new classical music with a taste for the adventurous. ECM's sound is characteristically clean, clear, and immediate. © TiVo

André Cardinal Destouches : Callirhoe [Opera]

Hervé Niquet

Full Operas - Released January 1, 2006 | Glossa

André Cardinal Destouches (1672-1749) is virtually unknown today, but he was the preeminent composer of French opera in the half century between the end of Lully's career and the beginning of Rameau's. On the basis of this fine recording of Callirhoé, considered one of his most important operas, the neglect is difficult to understand. Its strength lies not so much in its originality -- it basically develops the conventions established by Lully -- but in the music's ability to illuminate the drama. Destouches was clearly a master of music for the theater; his scenes build with power and inexorability, and his dramatic confrontations, in particular, are vividly expressed. The conclusion of the second act, for example, depicting the priests of Bacchus going on a rampage, has a wildness and energy one usually associates not so much with the Baroque as with the heat of the Romantic era. The starkness of the opera's finale, which abruptly ends with a character's suicide, is brilliant theater, but entirely out of character with the conventions of the time, which would have required a tidy denouement, and most likely, the intervention of a deity. The first, 1712 version of Callirhoé, in fact, had just such an ending, but the composer revised the opera extensively for revivals in 1731 and 1743, and wisely rethought the finale, hugely increasing its effectiveness. Destouches' vocal writing is expressive and gratifyingly lyrical, and even his recitatives have emotional power. His orchestration is notably varied and colorful. The recording is the result of the commitment and passion of Hervé Niquet, director of Le Concert Spirituel, which he leads in this outstanding performance. The orchestra and chorus perform with energy and finesse, and the climaxes are thrillingly urgent. The soloists, none of whom are international stars, sound like they ought to be, singing with unfailing purity, idiomatic security, and dramatic intensity. Glossa's exemplary sound is full, warm, and spacious, with excellent balance. Callirhoé should be of strong interest to any fan of Baroque opera, and a reminder of the wealth of strong repertoire that has yet to achieve broad exposure. © TiVo

En 2018, alors qu'il venait d'enfoncer le clou et d'exploser avec 19, second effort studio porté par les hits "Bébé" et "Bella", le rappeur français Mohamed Sylla, alias MHD, annonçait se retirer de la scène musicale pour une période indéterminée. En 2021, c'est pour le plus grand bonheur de ses nombreux fans que le MC revient avec le titre "Afro Trap Part. 11 : King Kong", annonçant la parution de Mansa, son troisième opus studio. Bénéficiant des travaux d'une douzaine de beatmakers parmi lesquels Dany Synthé, Junior Alaprod ou StillNas, Mansa propose une collection de quinze nouveaux titres évoluant entre pop rap et recette afro trap dont MHD fut un précurseur, et décroche une cinquième position dans les charts hexagonaux avec l'aide du single "Pololo" en compagnie de Tiakola.© TiVo
