The artistic direction for this recording was handled by Blaise Carpene and Sylvie Valayre.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album explores the deep and complex relationship between love and nature, which have historically been major inspirations for poets and musicians.
Compositional Technique
French mélodie, unlike German lieder, often creates a compensatory balance between the poem and the music, where the music acts as a 'consolation' or 'caress' rather than directly mirroring the poem's mood.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded by Little Tribeca between April 2 and 7, 2024, in the Saint-Germain d'Auxerre church in Heudicourt-sous-les-Côtes, France.
Recording & Production
The recording, editing, mixing, and mastering of this album were all done by Blaise Carpene.
