Anaïs Boileau, the illustrator for this album, is a photographic artist who explores Mediterranean cultures as a constant source of inspiration.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Marie-Laure Garnier, the singer on this album, considers the French melody repertoire a "royal way" for the development of her singing and musicality.
Album & Artwork
The album title, "Chants nostalgiques," was chosen collegially and refers to the Greek roots of "nostalgia" (return and pain), reflecting the psychological complexity of the pieces.
Recording & Production
Charlotte Sohy's Chants nostalgiques are presented in a new recording, as they had never been recorded in the chosen formation of voice, string quartet, and piano.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded during an artistic residency at the Kerbastic castle, headquarters of the Polignac Foundation, and at L'Estran, a performance hall in Guidel, France.
Composition History
The album's program was built around Ernest Chausson's Poème de l'amour et de la mer, a work Marie-Laure Garnier had long dreamed of recording.
