Album release: May 2017

Gathered around Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre, you’ll discover an unknown aspect of the French mélodie of the Fin-de-siècle. Based on sometimes very intimate text by Rimbaud, Baudelaire or Verhaeren, among others, these crepuscular works externalized, one Century ago already, the existential malaise of the mankind facing the Progress.
The rare Contralto tone of Sarah Laulan, laureate at prestigious Queen Elisabeth International Competition and at the Geneva International Competition, and associated artist at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, serve the ambiguity of these mélodies, that deploy by turns onirism, darkness, but also humour, provocation and cynicism.

Inside the booklet, an enriched iconography based on Félicien Rops’ works reminds with sweetness and emotion this time of artistic claim – more newsworthy than ever.

Cherchant à extérioriser le malaise existentiel de cette Fin-de-siècle, les compositeurs modernistes tels que Ravel, Duparc, Chausson, Enesco ou encore Saint-Saëns trouvent dans les textes des poètes de leur temps, les mots et symboles par lesquels l’exprimer. Onirisme, noirceur, mais aussi humour, provocation et cynisme, de nouveaux langages émergent, les formes se cherchent. Le temps est à l'expérimentation et aux revendications.
Troisième prix du prestigieux Concours international Reine Elisabeth, la contralto Sarah Laulan vous propose une lecture riche et sensible de ces mélodies crépusculaires dans lesquelles se déploient la toute-puissance des éléments et de la révolte intérieure. À la fois dérangeantes et galvanisantes, elles brossent un tableau varié de ce chapitre passionnant de l’histoire de la musique.
