Faure's Requiem,"funeral lullaby" written for enjoyment as the composer put it, has a unique place in history.
Its soft, simple and modest poetry conveys moments of gentle contemplation and moving expressiveness which are entrusted to both the choir and the two soloists. With his Ensemble Aedes and the orchestra Les Siecles, Mathieu Romano is committed to render a Requiem faithful to its first performance. We hear thus the score in its original 1893 orchestration, where the organ plays a great role, and where Latin is pronounced in the French way as it used to be.

The clearest articulation of the Ensemble Aedes then perfectly fits Eluard's Figure humaine set to music by Francis Poulenc. We have never heard these sublime poems sung with such intelligibility before!

Finally the three Songs by Debussy elegantly close the album. Here again, the quality and clarity of the voices are stunning. Artistic director and founder of Ensemble Aedes Mathieu Romano has established himself as a magician of voices in a cappella scores. And voices ideally melt with the strings of Les Siecles under his baton.

A 100% French cast in a 100% French music disc for a triple rediscovery. Essential!
