Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of maritime melodies and traditional folk songs with the Maîtrise de Radio France's captivating album, "Dutilleux, Daniel-Lesur & Britten: Carnet de bord." Released on February 24, 2015, under the Formations musicales / Radio France label, this 49-minute collection is a treasure trove of choral music that showcases the ensemble's exceptional vocal prowess and artistic versatility.
The album is divided into two main sections, "Chansons de bord" (Songs of the Sea) and "Chansons populaires à trois voix" (Popular Songs for Three Voices), offering a diverse range of musical styles and themes. The first section features a collection of sea shanties and sailors' songs, expertly arranged and performed by the Maîtrise de Radio France. From the lively "Les marins de Groix" to the poignant "Adieu, cher camarade," these songs evoke the spirit of the sea and the camaraderie of life aboard a ship.
The second section of the album presents a delightful assortment of popular folk songs, sung in three-part harmony. These songs, including "J'ai un long voyage à faire," "La chèvre," and "Lou Farandoulaïre," showcase the ensemble's ability to convey the warmth, humor, and pathos of traditional folk music.
The album concludes with a stirring performance of "The Golden Vanity," a traditional sea shanty that tells the tale of a young cabin boy who outwits a Spanish galleon. This powerful and dramatic piece is a fitting finale to an album that is both musically engaging and culturally enriching.
Whether you're a fan of choral music, sea shanties, or traditional folk songs, "Dutilleux, Daniel-Lesur & Britten: Carnet de bord" is sure to delight and inspire. The Maîtrise de Radio France's impeccable vocal technique, expressive phrasing, and deep musical insight make this album a standout in their impressive discography.
