Martyrs Elcamino

In France, during the reign of Louis XIV, the religious service known as Tenebrae was one of the most distinctive ceremonies in the liturgical year. Gradually, in the course of the office, the candles were extinguished, recalling the darkness that covered the earth when Jesus died on the cross. Charpentier composed Tenebrae settings throughout his career, thirty-one lessons in all. The three presented here, written for the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of Holy Week, are scored for a solo bass voice, accompanied by an orchestra composed of recorders, oboes, strings, bassoon and organ.

"Johnny Hallyday is back with his new album L'Attente, his 48th in more than 50 years of career. With producer Yvan Cassar & lyricist Miossec, Johnny offers a nostalgy-tinged album, melancholic, where love & time take an important place. 18 months passed between Johnny's previous album & L'Attente. Did he want to say so many things after the failure of Jamais Seul ? However, the artist doesn't stop here. He's going back. His 48th album is nostalgy-tinged, as we can listen to the title-track. "J'ai tout fait contre. J'ai rien fait pour. J'ai joué la montre. J'ai perdu mon tour" the rocker sings, talking about time…." (artists.letssingit.com)

This recording was made to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, in 1982.
