Marion Frère, the cellist and conceptualizer of this album, discovered Rita Strohl's Sonata, an overlooked work, which became a revelation and inspired this album as a tribute to stifled voices.
Compositional Technique
The album's originality lies in its sonic evolution, moving from the simplest form (solo cello) to a sextet, accompanied by a narrative that weaves together eras and styles.
Album & Artwork
The album features spoken texts between pieces, including quotes from figures like Gabriële Buffet, a pioneer of the avant-garde, and Nadia Boulanger, a renowned French music teacher.
Cultural Impact
This project is part of a broader initiative called "Les créations Gabriële," named after Gabriële Buffet, a pioneer of the avant-garde, art theorist, and composer of lost works.
Album & Artwork
The album is titled "Originelles" as a point of departure, an origin, and an artistic journey where the cellist's voice awakens, guided by the spirit of women composers.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album's concept is a tribute to a discreet yet compelling creative force, the essence of female artistic expression, which guides the performer.
