Révélation instrumentale aux Victoires de la Musique 2014, l’altiste Adrien La Marca a muri son premier enregistrement pendant deux ans. L’album « English Delight », hommage à l’alto et aux compositeurs anglais se révèle d’un grand lyrisme mêlant différents registres d'époques et de styles.
Adrien La Marca nous convie à un voyage sur quatre siècles, avec Dowland, Purcell, Vaughan Williams, Bridge, Clarke et Britten jusqu'à Jonathan Harvey.
Tous anglais, ils se sont influencés les uns et les autres au travers de 400 ans, mais offrent des langages si différents et sublimes à la fois. Chacune de ces pièces est lié à un moment spécial du parcours artistique musical d’Adrien La Marca. Outre le grand plaisir à les jouer sur scène, il est désormais heureux d'avoir pu les réunir pour le public sur ce disque.

Named ‘Solo Instrumental Discovery’ at the Victoires de la Musique in 2014, the French violist Adrien La Marca has spent two years preparing his first recording. The album English Delight, a tribute to the viola music of English composers, presents an outstandingly lyrical programme blending different registers, periods and styles.
Adrien La Marca invites us on a journey through four centuries of music, from Dowland and Purcell through Vaughan Williams, Bridge, Clarke and Britten to Jonathan Harvey.
Though these English composers naturally show mutual influences over 400 years, they offer a wide range of musical languages, all equally sublime. Each of the pieces is linked to a special moment in Adrien La Marca’s artistic itinerary. To add to the pleasure he has had playing them in concert, he is delighted to have been able to bring them together for the public on this disc.

Ralph Vaughan WILLIAMS / 6 Studies in English Folksong // Lovely on the Water

CRYIN’ THRU THAT SMILE

In a city weighed down by rain,
she’s cryin’ through that smile again.
Too much love is too much pain.
Icy demeanor all through the night.

Jazzman out at my front door, heard it all before,
as the blues runs on down the hall.
Church choir out in my backyard..
Icy demeanor all thru the night,
She’s a ray of black sunlight.

(Chorus)
The stars can be so cruel,
when love has left too soon.
There’s no help, there’s no help, Lord from above.
No heart, no kiss, no love, no love, no love to miss.

Play on like there’s nothing wrong, all along I’ll find
you cryin’ through that smile tonight.
Too much love is too much pain, too much rain.
Icy demeanor all through the night.
She’s a ray of black sunlight.

*(Chorus)

(Tag)
The stars can be so cruel when you’re forgotten,
like ghosts out in the garden.. now, now, now.
You’re cryin’ through that smile again.
The flowers and bells and jewels can be so haunting
when love has left you wanting.. now, now, now,
You’re cryin’ through that smile again..
