Astrologie Lunaire

Eugène Godecharle was director of music at the church of Saint-Géry in Brussels before his appointment as first violinist in the court orchestra. He was not only an outstanding violinist and violist, but seems also to have mastered the pedal harp; he subsequently made brilliant use of the tonal and technical possibilities that the newly invented pedal mechanism had enabled. His Sei Quartetti Op. IV are notable for their musical and tonal diversity as well as for the particular textures that Godecharle employed in their composition. In these harp quartets, recorded here for the first time, Société Lunaire explores a particularly fascinating sound world; their energetic allegros as well as melancholy and galant movements enrich the chamber music repertoire of the second half of the 18th century in a most elegant and charming manner.

An original mix of soft progressive and avantgarde atmospheres is the distinctive sound of Pierrot Lunaire, highly regarded among foreign collectors. Still, over the course of their two albums, this band draw from a broad set of influences as diverse as Faust, PFM and Debussy for their eclectic, unpredictable sound.
Pierrot Lunaire's first album contains really beautiful instrumentation. The second ("Gudrun") is one of the most adventurous records of Italian progressive. "Gudrun" is one of those masterpieces where only one classification seems appropriate: extraordinary music. In any case, Pierrot Lunaire's two albums are a must for adventurous listeners.

Aujourd'hui, un véritable érudit de la langue, de la littérature et de la philosophie chinoises les a restaurées dans ce remarquable ouvrage, …

Pierrot lunaire, premiered in Berlin in 1912, is a series of twenty-one short melodramas for voice and five instruments on German translations of poems by Albert Giraud. Here the composer first introduces Sprechgesang (speech-song), a technique that revolutionised declamation. Schoenberg wanted the piece to be ironic, at once tender and grotesque, in the manner of cabaret songs.
