Mélodies de Strauss, Zemlinsky, Ravel & Respighi

Description

Beauté, Mythe, Rêve. Young women gracefully dressed, wrapped in soft and flowing fabrics covered with flowers and arabesques, this is what can be seen on the posters of Alfons Mucha, whose cover evokes the style. The staging of beauty, the distancing from a realistic representation, the stylization of man and nature in an ideal of aesthetic sensuality is typical of this era at the turn of the 20th century and resonates in art across all fields. Vienna, Paris, and Munich are centers of a pictorial and literary movement that evolves towards art for art's sake. This is what the new album and the detailed booklet of the new album by Teodora Gheorghiu tells, undoubtedly one of the greatest sopranos of her generation.
