Passionnément

Description

Normandy, Roaring Twenties. Romantic encounters, identity changes, and unexpected spiritual twists: with Passionnément, André Messager finds himself halfway between café-concert, American music, and operetta. The score is passionately performed by Véronique Gens, Étienne Dupuis, Nicole Car, and a team of enthusiastic soloists accompanied by the Münchner Rundfunkorchester, under the direction of Stefan Blunier. As spiritual as Messager's music, the libretto, with its boulevard theater flair, offers a true manifesto of the French spirit in the aftermath of World War I.
