Ensemble Contraste

CHAMBER MUSIC

Jérémie Cahen, Classica, Octobre 2022

Ce programme intégralement consacré à la musique d’inspiration juive possède toutes les qualités d’un projet longuement mûri. Ainsi Arnaud Thorette à l’alto et Johan Barjot au piano abordent-ils la Rhapsodie de Bloch et le Kol Nidrei de Bruch avec un mélange bienvenu d’intensité oratoire et de sincérité. (…)
(...) Johan Fargot est l'auteur d'un magnifique arrangement de Morenica, célèbre mélodie tradionnelle séfarade, chantée avec tendresse et sans emphase par Karine Deshayes, et plus encore d'une réduction pour violon et alto du fameux thème principal de La Liste de Schindler, composé par John WIlliams, qui revêt sous cette forme une troublante physionomie ravélienne.

Marco Angioloni & Ensemble Contraste release a CD together for the Glossa Label entitled ‘Dolce Vita'!

Dolce Vita transports us between love, nostalgia and dreams of travel, between operetta and popular song, on famous arias arranged for this recording by Johan Farjot for the Ensemble Contraste. This intimate, loving and joyous journey brings together the essential tastes of an era dominated by carefree, unbridled creativity. From Bixio to Benatzky, via Lopez and Porter, this seductive programme takes you back in time to Merrill and Piaf, with plenty of surprises in store to keep you dreaming, singing and spending a pleasant evening with talented musicians. A record event for lovers of opera and popular songs alike, and for all those who wish to discover and rediscover the most famous emblematic songs of Italy and France. You'll travel to Rome, Florence, Naples, under the skies of Paris and to the jazzy tunes of this ultra-creative era.

The CD release concert is scheduled for Wednesday, May 8th at the Bal Blomet in Paris at 8pm.
