Julie Cherrier-Hoffmann, Frédéric Chaslin, Lucienne Renaudin Vary, Pierre Arditi
AP304 - 1CD - 71' - Dec 30, 2022
Voice, trumpet and piano – it’s most unusual to find these three together in a song cycle! The composer and pianist Frédéric Chaslin delivers here the first chamber work ever written for such a combination. Inspired by poems written by Jean Cocteau, Boris Vian and Alain Duault, he explores, in six original pieces, the various styles in which the trumpet enjoyed prominence in the twentieth century: jazz, ragtime, tango... Julie Cherrier-Hoffmann, soprano, and Lucienne Renaudin Vary, trumpet, create an amazingly subtle balance as they convey the different moods of these miniatures, sometimes poetic, sometimes funny or lyrical. Each one is introduced by a very short story, written by Arièle Butaux, reflecting in prose the poem that follows. The text is read by the well-known French actor Pierre Arditi.
