As Jean-Marc Andrieu presses ahead with the rediscovery of Antoine Blanchard’s works which he began thirty years ago, he has ably performed this mission — indeed, it is a joyful way of “doing justice” to his compositions! The three motets à grand chœur showcased herein – two of which have been recorded for the first time – are amongst those religious works representative of the music of Louis XV’s Chapel in the middle of the Eighteenth Century. They make a most pleasant addition to our knowledge about the musician.

Les Passions de l'Ame - Schabernack - A Treasure Trove of Musical Jokes (2017) Music

Posted by SERTiL at Sept. 4, 2017

The group of Weimar cantatas is exciting on many levels. The purpose Bach expressed in his Mühlhausen resignation letter – which became a master beam of the musical edice he built throughout his life – is expressed with an even more seminal vigour, due to the restrictions it suffered previously. Besides the beauty of the surviving works, which renders the loss of the missing ones all the more bitter, it is moving to see the musician engage, with each new piece, in experiments with form, ideas, and the language for expressing the word of God through the most sensitive possible texts. The choice of developing themes dear to him enabled him to afirm and deepen his faith.

This is a somewhat odd mixture of late baroque works, but the title and the booklet blurb offer a certain logic to it. The most substantial work in the programme is Francesco Geminiani's 'The Enchanted Forest', a lively and colourful orchestral suite composed in 1754 for the Paris stage for a pantomime illustrating a section from Torquato Tasso's 'La Gerusalemme Liberata'.

Andreas Gilger - Dessiner les passions (2022)
FLAC tracks | 1;14:30 | 452 Mb
Genre: Classical / Label: Genuin

Passions, emotions, affects: they are at the heart of the study of harpsichord music of the "Grand Siècle" in France, which produced composers such as Louis Couperin, Henry Du Mont and Jean-Henri D'Anglebert. In his first Genuin solo album, the young, first-rate harpsichordist Andreas Gilger relies on the perfect combination of a high-quality copy of a historical instrument and a room of ideal dimensions. In the Golden Hall of the Castle of Oettingen, he plays vibrant, passionate, surprising music of the 17th century, including a Suite by Jean-Nicolas Geoffroy, recorded for the first time. This is differentiated and rhetorically lucid harpsichord playing, which brings out the modernity and topicality of this music!

David Le Breton, "Les passions ordinaires" eBooks & eLearning

Posted by TimMa at Nov. 9, 2020

Les émotions ne sont pas spontanées, mais rituellement organisées. Reconnues en soi et signifiées aux autres, elles mobilisent un vocabulaire et des mouvements précis du corps qui diffèrent selon les cultures. C'est ce que montre David Le Breton dans cette anthropologie des émotions, où il analyse, entre autres, le statut du corps dans la communication, les ritualités du regard, ou encore le métier de comédien, qui offre une étonnante illustration de la façon dont les hommes se saisissent des signes pour vivre et donner à voir leurs émotions.
