This new Erato recording of the complete, uncut score of Les Troyens is drawn from two concert performances that took place over the Easter weekend in April 2017 in the city of Strasbourg in eastern France. A magnificent cast of singers, predominantly Francophone, assembled under the baton of John Nelson, an acknowledged master of Berlioz’s music who has conducted Les Troyens more frequently than anyone else over a period of more than 40 years; he made his name with the piece when he led performances at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 1974 and enjoyed great acclaim for a production at the Frankfurt Opera shortly before the Strasbourg concerts.

Thanks to the combined talents of Matthias Goerne and Daniel Harding at the head of the excellent Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the music of Richard Wagner glows here with a special radiance. In the finest scenes for baritone or bass from Tristan und Isolde, Der fliegende Holländer, Parsifal and other operas, the themes dear to the composer (gods, men and redemption) inspire him to deploy supreme expressive resources and show the incontestable genius of this born orchestrator in a new light.

Après le succès du premier single “Je joue de la musique”, Calogero touche la corde sensible de nos souvenirs avec “Fondamental”, son nouveau titre mis en images par Claude Lelouch.

Christophe Rousset plays the harpsichord pieces by the French composer Balbastre (pronounced Balbatre) as a documented interpreter. Little known by the public at large, the musician of the eighteenth century helped to perfect the forte-piano and to publicize this new instrument. Influenced by composers such as Handel and Domenico Scarlatti, masters of the vocal repertoire, he seduces by a virtuoso writing, full of effects. A sonata with violin accompaniment ends this program with a delicate touch.

Immortalized in Luchino Visconti's cinematic masterpiece Death in Venice, Mahler's Symphony No.5, with its unforgettable Adagietto, needs little introduction. The composer himself led its premiere some 113 years ago, conducting the Gürzenich Orchestra of Cologne. For this recording, the current members of the very same ensemble are led by their newly appointed General Music Director, François-Xavier Roth.

Didier Lockwood has had a diverse career, ranging from fusion to swing and advanced hard bop. In the 1980s, he was considered the next in a line of great French violinists after Stephane Grappelli and Jean-Luc Ponty, but he maintained a fairly low profile in the 1990s. Lockwood began studying violin when he was six. Ten years later, he stopped his formal training and joined a rock group.

A cappella collective Straight No Chaser rework pop megahits past and present on their third Six Pack EP. Their transformation of Jon Bellion’s heartbroken “All Time Low” excises the original’s sliced-and-diced loops but keeps its emotions running high; their revamp of Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like” struts and swaggers along with the beatboxers’ rhythms. A gender-flipped “Single Ladies” is a highlight of their energetic “Beyoncé Medley”, the song’s syncopated bounce adding extra oomph to the EP’s already soaring spirits.

Sabry Mosbah, son of the famous singer and composer Slah Mosbah, is considered one of the leaders of the new emerging Tunisian stage. The album Asly ("My Roots") plunges us into an atmosphere almost mythical, conforming to visions tainted with exoticism that still spread across the Mediterranean shores. Mixing is present in all stages of this disc, from its conception between Paris, Tunis and Brussels, to its very essence, which mixes rock with various forms of Tunisian popular music. The artist with multiple influences gently oscillates between the current sonorities of a fretless guitar and huge bewitching basses posed on powerful and deep rhythms, conducive to trance.
