Tenor Arias
Orchestre Metropolitain
Classical - Released March 1, 2010 | ATMA Classique
Canadian tenor Marc Hervieux has pursued careers both in opera and in pop repertoire, and this is his first solo album devoted exclusively to opera. His instrument is essentially attractive, full and warm if a little weak at the bottom. He sings with passion but without any special interpretive distinctiveness. This collection of verismo arias, plus a selection from La Traviata, is well suited to his strengths. Even so, his vocal production doesn't have the security and solidity necessary to make these truly distinguished performances. Technical problems include a lack of adequate support, giving his phrases a choppy quality, and he has frequent difficulty with releases, so that E lucevan le stelle, one of the more successful tracks, is spoiled by a gasp on the final note. Variable intonation is a troubling recurring issue. One thing about the album that can be recommended without reservation is the performance of Orchestra Métropolitain of Montreal. Under the confident and lively leadership of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the group plays with the assurance and polish of a major international orchestra. Nézet-Séguin coaxes a creamy, rich sound from the strings in particular, and when appropriate, the group plays with refreshing briskness and attention to nuances in articulation that can tend to get glossed over in albums like this, where the accompaniment is often treated as an afterthought. The orchestra shines in the three tracks in which it's featured, the Intermezzos from Cavalleria rusticana and Manon Lescaut and Puccini's Preludio sinfonico. Atma Classique's sound is clean, present, and nicely ambient.© TiVo

Booklet
Nouvelle-France, you will recall, existed from 1534 to 1763, stretching from the north of what is now the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, down to the Mississippi delta in present-day Louisiana, a gigantic territory which bisected North America - to the chagrin of the English lords who were denied access to the vast virgin territories in the west of the continent. War and finally the Treaty of Paris of 1763 saw France cede Canada and all of its territories East of the Mississippi to England, in return for Belle Isle. The English are still laughing! But we digress. Throughout the existence of New France, colonists from Old France brought some musicians over in their baggage trains, and other were born in-country, including Charles-Amador Martin, "ordinary musician with the Jesuits of Quebec". What's more, a number of manuscripts were imported as they were published in France, to assist in the edification (and subjugation) of the indigenous peoples, which gave rise to numerous translations of a number of religious texts in native languages. The current album offers a good selection of 17th Century works (re-releases of a recording made in 1995 and finally available again), sung in the Abenaki language by the Montreal Studio of Ancient Music. The Abenaki language was spoken by the Micmac and Passamaquoddy tribes in what is now Quebec - unfortunately, only a couple of thousand members of these tribes survive in the province... This is a means of doing justice to peoples who were wiped from the face of the earth by religious invasion, and to musicians who, from Paris and quite involuntarily, saw their music used as a weapon. © Qobuz
