Ce disque - magnifique de bout en bout – m’a notamment permis de redécouvrir un vrai chef d’œuvre : les Songs of Ariel, que Frank
Martin a composés d’après La Tempête de Shakespeare. L’ensemble vocal Aedes restitue à merveille la richesse de styles et de caractères
de ce recueil – se montrant aussi convaincant dans la poésie élégiaque de Full fathom five que dans l’intensité dramatique (superbe
solo d’alto !) de You are three men of sin. Un régal.
Philippe Hersant
This recording – beautiful from beginning to end – has enabled me to rediscover in particular a true masterpiece: the Songs of Ariel,
Frank Martin’s setting of songs from Shakespeare’s The Tempest. The vocal ensemble Aedes brings out perfectly the wealth of styles
and characters that is to be found in this cycle, and is as convincing in the elegiac poetry of Full fathom five as in the dramatic intensity
(superb alto solo!) of You are three men of sin. A treat!
