Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. Premiered in 2018, the 90-minute opera Lessons in Love and Violence delves into the dark and turbulent events of Edward II's life and death. George Benjamin and Martin Crimp's third collaboration, it unfolds as a taut slow burning arch of seven tableaux. This work boasts particularly rich string textures, and is coloured by basset horn and cimbalom together with a pair of harps, celesta, and percussion (including talking drums and tombak). Several of the opera's powerful interludes are dominated by braying, sardonic brass - with tuba substituted by the more menacing contrabass trombone. There is also much spectacular ensemble writing: in Scene Three's play within a play, several strands of independent music collide, and the result is perhaps one of the most complex musical structures Benjamin has ever tackled. The music's relationship to the drama is often unstable and seemingly very spontaneous, but beneath it all one senses a rigorous architecture, unflinchingly guiding the listener deeper and deeper into the opera's disquieting emotional world. This full score is a perfect accompaniment to the previously published vocal score and text. / Musique contemporaine / Répertoire / Opéra

Par WEAVER JOHN. On St. Crispin's Day in 1415, Henry V of England defeated the French in the decisive battle of Agincourt. A famous victory hymn, Deo Gratias which is attributed to John Dunstable, was composed to celebrate the victory. It is this hymn which provides the subject for this work./ Répertoire / Orgue

Par CORP RONALD. Part of the longer hymn 'Pange lingua' by Venantius Fortunatus (c. 540-c. 600), the Crux Fidelis features in the Adoration of the Cross during the solemn liturgical actions of Good Friday, and at Lauds during Passiontide. The reverence and awe of the words resonate in the poised strophes and silences of Ronald Corp 's new setting for SATB, a memorable addition to the repertoire of music for times of penitence, and to the surprisingly small corpus of interpretations, including those by Lennox Berkeley, Adrian Willaert, John Dunstable, and King John IV of Portugal (attributed), of this text in particular./ Feuillet / SATB a Cappella

Par ESBJORN SVENSSON TRIO (E.S.T.). Le Trio d'Esbjorn Svensson est un phénomène : un trio de jazz, qui se qualifie de groupe de pop qui joue du jazz, qui veut l'égalité des membres du groupe, qui joue non seulement dans le lieux de réunion de jazz, mais aussi les salles réservées pour les groupes pops, qui utilise les effets de lumières.. Mais surtout leur son unique combine le jazz et des éléments électroniques, des rythmes funk ou pop-rock aussi bien que de la musique classique européenne. / Rép International / Recueil / Tout Instrument
