Edvard Radzinsky, "Nicolas II, le dernier des Tsars"

Nicolas Romanov devient prince héritier en 1881, après l'assassinat de son grand-père, le tsar réformateur Alexandre II. Lui-même sera exécuté dans une cave d'Ekaterinbourg en Russie, en 1918, avec sa famille. Entre-temps, son règne, son existence auront été marqués au sceau de la guerre et de la révolution. Edvard Radzinsky commence par "feuilleter" le journal intime du tsar. Au fil des pages se reconstitue l'image d'un jeune homme qui, n'était sa condition de futur souverain, eût pu être tout simplement « comme les autres » …

The familiar hymn Veni Emmanuel is emblematic of the Advent season: a period of reflection upon the meaning of Christ's coming. Framing this programme, the hymn paraphrases the great "O" Antiphons (plainchant settings traditionally sung on the days leading up to Christmas), complemented here by later works echoing their rich imagery and symbolism.

A priori, on ne peut pas être plus différent : entre le Saharien frugal à la voix douce et le baroudeur médiatique habitué aux coups de gueule, il semble qu'il n'y ait aucun point commun. Or Pierre Rabhi et Nicolas Hulot prtagent une passion dont on s'étonne qu'elle ne soit pas plus répandue : celle de la planète sur laquelle nous vivons. Venus à l'écologie par des chemins aussi différents que leurs itinéraires personnels, ils se sont rencontrés en 2001 et le courant est passé immédiatement entre deux consciences habitées par la même aspiration. …

« À la racine de l’effondrement de l’Occident, il y a une crise culturelle et identitaire. L’Occident ne sait plus qui il est, parce qu’il ne sait plus et ne veut pas savoir qui l’a façonné, qui l’a constitué, tel qu’il a été et tel qu’il est. De nombreux pays ignorent aujourd’hui leur histoire. Cette autoasphyxie conduit naturellement à une décadence qui ouvre la voie à de nouvelles civilisations barbares. »

Hugo, un personnage fictif de 23 ans, passe plus de cinq heures par jour connecté sur Facebook, Instagram, Spotify ou Netflix. Peu à peu, le jeune homme se sent de moins en moins bien. Il a mal aux yeux et peine à rester concentré, à mémoriser des informations ou à maîtriser ses émotions. Il enquête sur le poids des nouvelles technologies au quotidien et apprend à se déconnecter. …

Joseph-Hector Fiocco's music is remarkable for its quality, richness of invention and the liveliness that characterizes it all. With a somewhat surprising coherence it achieves a fusion of French and Italian aesthetics, as regards both harmony and melody. His infectious melodies give the listener the impression of knowing them already; singability is always paramount, and the lines are supple and elegant. Now and then a passage is reminiscent of Vivaldi, Pergolesi or Couperin. Yet the firm, inspired pen of Fiocco confirms his stature as a composer of the first order, with a highly personal language full of sensuality and light. Nicolas Achten and Scherzi Musicali deliver a second volume devoted to Fiocco's motets, after a 2011 release which was awarded a Diapason d'or Decouverte and IRR Outstanding.

It's always great to encounter the recording that can "crack" a composer open, making his or her music accessible to a general listening public. And it's all the better when such a recording comes from beyond the usual quarters, as, for example, with this American recording of Renaissance polyphony. Nicolas Gombert was a Flemish Renaissance composer, a successor (and possibly a student) of Josquin who entered the service of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. His music, especially in his masses, tends to present itself as a dense, unbroken flow of polyphony. Gombert is one of the composers music history students tend to slog through in hopes of getting to the good stuff. One noted Renaissance scholar used to refer to him, Adrian Willaert, and Giaches de Wert as "the Ert brothers." All that could change with this disc of Gombert motets and chansons. These works are less dense than his masses, but not by much, and they are considerably less limpid than Josquin's pieces in the same genres. But here it is the performances that clarify them. The Massachusetts ensemble Capella Alamire (the name is a pun on an aspect of an old solmization system) under director Peter Urquhart, recording in a church in Portsmouth, NH, slows the motets down slightly and addresses them with a group of eight singers – the black belt of choral singing.

Accomplished soloists, violinist Gidon Kremer and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, bring forth the musical soul of Gubaidulina’s unique approach to compositions. The Kremerata Baltica backs the two musicians. A centerpiece on the album is Gubaidulina’s “The Lyre of Orpheus,” an emotional tribute to the memory of her daughter. With bare lyricism and inspired delivery, the ensemble dazzles with pulsating tones.

Le bugie sembrano potersi nascondere bene, eppure trovano sempre un modo per tornare a galla. Lo sa bene Anna. Ora che, stretta nel suo cappotto, cammina tra gli olmi ricoperti di neve a Cambridge, mentre le acque del Cam riflettono, immobili, una luce innaturale. Ma è una Cambridge diversa da quella del suo arrivo, adesso che Nicolas non corre più nelle sue strade trafficate. L'unica cosa che le è rimasta di lui, ormai, è un pugno di fogli: sono i disegni che un tempo aveva trovato sparsi nella stanza di Nicolas, gli stessi in cui aveva riconosciuto il proprio volto nei tratti a matita. Anna li stringe tra le mani e aspetta.
