Poems, Prayers and Bliss – Marie-Josée Lord and Hugues Cloutier

Tue 25 Feb 2020 • 07:30 pm Classical / Gospel / Modern Classical
Salle Bourgie - Montréal 22,40-42,62
· by Alexandre Villemaire

Henri Duparc and Ernest Chausson have this in common – they both left their mark on the French musical repertoire through melody, just as their comrades George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein left their mark on the American songbook through their melodies and the syncretism of their music, combining classical forms and elements of jazz. In a concert bringing together a repertoire she masters, soprano Marie-Josée Lord brings these two contrasting worlds together. Intimate and melancholic in nature, Duparc’s refined melodies complete the cycle Poème de l’amour et de la mer, dedicated by Chausson to Duparc. Irreverent, energetic and sentimental at the same time, Bernstein’s melodies complement those of Gershwin, which echo the resilient and poignant African-American spirituals.
