Erika Angell: Everybody, in trance!
Last night at Montreal’s Ausgang Plaza, singer-songwriter Erika Angell (of Thus Owls fame) launched her debut solo album, The Obsession With Her Voice (which was discussed at length in my interview with the artist – listen to it here!) The packed house resonated to the sometimes soaring, sometimes spiritually incandescent waves of the Swedish-born Montrealer’s music. Her voice, beautiful and in tune, was regularly manipulated by electronic equipment. Next to her, Mili Hong’s drums (excellent) sometimes gave the impression of having an independent life. But this was intentional. To round things off, there was a string trio with two cellos (Audréanne Filion et Jean-Christophe Lizotte) and a viola (Thierry Lavoie-Ladouceur), favoring the lower notes. The packed audience listened with remarkable attention to music that is, after all, demanding and sometimes even difficult. Angell’s music is not about seductive pop. She explores the expressive possibilities of her own vocal abilities through long, spare lines, but harmonically steeped in sophisticated modernism. The lyrics, too, raise the bar with thoughtful symbolism. That said, against a backdrop of beat box pulses of various stripes, purring post-romantic strings and often arrhythmic drums, the artist convincingly won over the audience, who showed a remarkably interested and respectful ear. The audience was in a state of trance in front of the stage beauty, which reached a level of musical quality matched only by other artists like Björk, Joanna Newsom or Kate Bush (even if Erika is stylistically totally different). Not a bad line up to be part of.
The evening was part of the FIKA(S) festival devoted to Scandinavian/Nordic culture. SEE THE FIKA(S) PROGRAMME.

L’Orchestre Métropolitain at Maison symphonique
In the opener, Don Juan enters the stage without caution, launching himself headlong into adventures of love… and music! From one symphonic poem to the next, Strauss takes us to Italy with his Aus Italien, in four evocative stops: the sun-drenched countryside, the nostalgic ruins of Rome, nature on the beach at Sorrento, and the simple, festive life of Naples.
Next, we take to the skies with flutist Juliette Hurel on l’Aile du songe, a concerto by composer Kaija Saariaho, who is a crowd-pleaser and a prolific collaborator, notably with writer Amin Maalouf and stage director Peter Sellars.
En ouverture, Don Juan entre en scène sans précaution et se lance tête première dans les aventures amoureuses… et musicales! D’un poème symphonique à un autre, Strauss nous mène en Italie avec son Aus Italien, en quatre escales évocatrices de la campagne ensoleillée, des nostalgiques ruines de Rome, de la nature à la plage de Sorrente puis de la vie simple et festive à Naples.
On s’envole ensuite avec la flûtiste Juliette Hurel sur l’Aile du songe, un concerto de la compositrice Kaija Saariaho qui déplace les foules et cumule les collaborations fructueuses, notamment avec l’écrivain Amin Maalouf et le metteur en scène Peter Sellars.
