Soprano Sandrine Piau has been known mostly as a Baroque specialist, but she has recorded several albums of 19th century French mélodies with spectacular results. Si j'ai aimé (the title comes from one of three songs by the little-known Théodore Dubois) will be very hard for her to outdo. The list of attractions is very long and begins with the repertory. There are some familiar pieces here, such as the opening pair of songs by Saint-Saëns, but many of the composers – Dubois, Charles Bordes, Alexandre Guilmant – are rarely performed, at least outside France, and all the songs here are top-notch.
Sandrine Piau and Véronique Gens have a longstanding rapport and dreamed of making a recording together. Here they pay tribute to two singers who, like them, were born within a year of each other, Mme Dugazon (1755-1821) and Mme Saint-Huberty (1756-1812): both enjoyed triumphant careers in Paris, inspiring numerous librettists and composers. Gluck even nicknamed Saint-Huberty ‘Madamela- Ressource’, while ‘a Dugazon’ became a generic name for the roles of naïve girls in love, and later of comical mothers. Rivals? They very likely were, given the quarrelsome spirit of the operatic world of the time, even if they never crossed paths on stage.
Imaginez un monde où un objet se trouve à plusieurs endroits à la fois, où deux particules distantes d'un millier de kilomètres s'influencent instantanément et où un mur n'en est plus un. Cet univers mystérieux qui bat en brèche toutes nos intuitions, c'est celui de la « quantique ». Comment attaquer ce monument de la physique ? En souscrivant au pari fou de Julien Bobroff : nous révéler ses merveilles sans équation ni exposé historique ! La Quantique autrement procède en effet à rebours des ouvrages existants, souvent focalisés sur les travaux des pères fondateurs. …
