Rendez-vous

Description

Exciting musical discovery for piano, voice, trumpet, and the voice of Pierre Arditti! Combining soprano, trumpet, and piano in a cycle of melodies? A challenge taken up by Frédéric Chaslin who delivers here, through six original pieces, the first chamber work dedicated to this truly unprecedented ensemble! Based on the poems of Jean Cocteau, Boris Vian, and Alain Duault, the composer and pianist explores the styles on which the trumpet reigned in the 20th century: jazz, ragtime, tango... In a subtle and striking balance, the voice of Julie Cherrier-Hoffmann and the trumpet of Lucienne Renaudin Vary unfold the different universes of these miniatures, sometimes poetic, sometimes funny or lyrical. Each is introduced by a short story from the pen of Arièle Butaux, related to the poem it prepares, like a prose mirror of the verse text. The masterful Pierre Arditi is the narrator.
