Frédéric TAVERNIER-VELLAS et Les Solistes de la Musique Byzantine nous entraînent une nouvelle fois dans son voyage autour des chants sacrés de la Méditerranée et nous invite au cœur de la culture andalouse à travers une expérience musicale et spirituelle inédite. Cette Misa Flamenca se développe dans le cadre du rite andalou, chanté en latin et en espagnol, un rite ancien très différent du rite Romain, et elle entre naturellement en dialogue avec le chant Flamenco, à travers des chants traditionnels et des compositions du guitariste Kiko Ruiz, chantées par Matéo Cortès.
Yoshioka Aika (吉岡亜衣加) is a Japanese singer-songwriter signed to TEAM Entertainment label and Rock'n' Banana agency. She made her debut in 2009 with the album Harari and is known for singing theme songs for the otome game series Hakuouki.
This CD is musicianship at its best. There is something for everyone here from the dark evocative sounds of Misa Negra, the hard swing of the Ellington tribute, and the infectious beat of the son montunos. And all this with some of the most exciting solo performances you could ever hope to hear.
Many works by the Argentinian composer Martín Palmeri are completely inspired by the style of ‘Tango Nuevo’ in terms of form and harmony, as is also the case with the tango mass Misa a Buenos Aires, composed in 1996. In his Misatango the composer combines the text of the Latin mass with the traditional music of his homeland, making the classical Roman Catholic mass, such as it has been set to music for centuries, appear in new apparel. Martin Palmeri was recently awarded First Prize in the Choral Arrangement Competition organized by AAMCANT, as well as First Prize in the National Choral Arrangement Competition by The National University of Rosario. Several of his works have been recorded, and he regularly takes part on the adjudication of choral festivals across Europe. It is fitting, considering Palmeri’s stylistic influences, that the ensemble led by Ulrich Stotzel has chosen to juxtapose works by Astor Piazzolla and Ismael Spitalnik with Palmeri’s mass.
