Par Mon Nom

Après 12 albums et plus de 20 ans de carrière, Natasha St-Pier revient en 2018 avec le projet 'Thérèse De Lisieux – Aimer c’est tout donner'. C’est à la demande d’un public fervent, qu’un second album voit aujourd’hui le jour. Toujours aussi inspirés et inspirants, les poèmes de Sainte Thérèse de Lisieux, religieuse française du 19ème siècle morte l’année de ses 24 ans, sont à nouveau au cœur de ce nouvel de ce projet musical façonné par une toute nouvelle équipe.

Après la réussite du projet en piano solo Migrants, Nicola Sergio revient avec un envoûtant projet, Cilea mon amour, 4ème album à son nom produit par le label milanais NAU Records, après les trois premiers signés avec Challenge Records Int. L'album est une relecture des plus célèbres Airs d'Opéras (Arlésienne, Adriana Lecouvreur, Gloria) du compositeur italien Francesco Cilea (1866-1950), qui ont été chantés dans les théâtres du monde entier par les plus célèbres chanteurs d'opéras (Pavarotti, Callas, Carrera, Domingo…). Une vraie révélation.

Richard Leech has sung his Raoul to enthusiastic audiences in Berlin and elsewhere, and it is good to hear a voice which has such a clean ring to it, evenly produced and tastefully directed (even if not invariably observing Meyerbeer's detailed instructions). The Valentine is Francoise Pollet, an exceptional singer (especially among the French) in the sympathetic roundness of her tone, exactly right for a good nine-tenths of the role (the remaining fraction calling for more rejoicing on the high Cs). As Nevers, the excellent Gilles Cachemaille gives a courtly, well-schooled performance. –Gramophone

Sutherland is predictably impressive. Her 'O beau pays' is thrillingly done…with much attention to detail. Tourangeau as the page is another highlight…This is by far the most successful recording of this work and with a brilliant recording to match the ambitions of the project.— Penguin Guide

Les Barbares was premièred at the Paris Opéra (Palais Garnier) in October 1901, having originally been intended for the Roman theatre of Orange, in Provence. Rather than concentrating on bloodshed and slaughter, the plot focuses on the evolution of the relationship between Floria, the chief vestal, and Marcomir, the leader of the Barbarians, with the musical interest of the opera culminating furthermore in their splendid duet at the end of Act II. Saint-Saëns, like Massenet too at that time, shows here his ability to adapt his style to suit his literary inspiration. Les Barbares is in the same vein as Berliozs Les Troyens and contemporary with Faurés Pénélope.

La fille du régiment (The Daughter of the Regiment) is an opéra comique in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti, set to a French libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jean-François Bayard. It was first performed on 11 February 1840 by the Paris Opéra-Comique at the Salle de la Bourse.

“Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's opéra comique was one of the highlights of the Royal Opera's 2006-7 season, and viewing this well-produced DVD of the show it's perfectly obvious why. Natalie Dessay's skinny tomboy of a Marie combines a 110 per cent commitment to the physicality of her acting with a coloratura facility that is beyond criticism.” BBC Music Magazine.
