The anniversaries keep coming: first it was Beethoven, now it’s the turn of Napoleon Bonaparte, who died two centuries ago, on 5 May 1821. In France, famously, "everything ends in song". Taking inspiration from this adage, Arnaud Marzorati and his Lunaisiens, a vocal ensemble specialising in French historical and popular songs, are relating a crucial chapter of history through the medium of song.
These historical songs often glorified the epic story of Napoleon, with titles like La Machine infernale or Les Français au Général Bonaparte serving as musical propaganda. Other songs criticised the Empire, with royalist refrains like Les Mérites de Bonaparte or La Campagne de Russie.
The Lunaisiens are accompanied here by historical instruments played by the Les Cuivres Romantiques ensemble with trumpets, horns and buccins from the period as well as the barrel organ. Besides the more or less political songs, this album presents the popular songs of the streets and the salons. There are some romances (a typically French genre), sung here by Sabine Devieilhe with accompaniment on the piano from Daniel Isoir. There is a wealth of popular music from this period which addresses the legacy of a complex figure who aroused and bloodied Europe. © François Hudry / Qobuz
