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.

DEAR JEAN

Dear Jean, 
I hope you feel better.
I’m losing those things that made you cry.
I work hard, harder than ever to love her for herself. 
Now I understand why.

Tell me. My heart fears your letter.
Whisper so I may be at peace.
I’m low, a tramp of the river.
Tip on my side, swim for the sea.

(chorus)
The heart of the river somehow she sings out to me.
She makes this dull fellow quiver heavenly.
Sing out to me!

Careful now, don’t spill the time.
The future can’t make up it’s mind.
Never clear, ever divine.

In time I will do better.
Or am I a good man gone wrong?
Oh Jean try to remember.
Divine girl will we ever pass a night alone?


(chorus)
The heart of the river somehow she sings out to me.
She makes this dull fellow quiver heavenly.
Sing out to me!

Careful now, don’t spill the time.
The future has make up it’s mind.
Never clear, ever divine.

Dear Jean, I hope you feel better.
I’m losing those things that made you cry..
