Sous l'etoile

On this new recording, Marianne Piketty and Le Concert Idéal explore composers's fascination with the night. From the capricious and exuberant nights of Antonio Vivaldi and the melancholy of Lili Boulanger's D'un soir triste and the greater optimism of it's partner piece, D'un matin de printemps, to the poetic and sensuous dreams of Eugène Ysaÿe, the musicians of Le Concert Idéal travel to different places and different periods in time, looking at the night sky. We reach present day with the concerto Bajo la estrella, commissioned from the composer Alex Nante, and recorded here for the first time.
