Alpha 1070

After the immense success of her Bach-Abel album (ALPHA783), Lucile Boulanger celebrates the French viol through the centuries: ‘This transchronological dialogue traces the history of a dynasty of composers in a subjective, even emotional way’, from the seventeenth century (Marin Marais, Sainte-Colombe, Nicolas Hotman) to the twenty-first, with contemporary works by Philippe Hersant, Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber and Gérard Pesson, some of which were specifically written for Lucile Boulanger: ‘There is no longer any need to prove that my instrument is an integral part of our musical landscape. The viol is alive and well. For several decades now, it has inspired new compositions; its vocabulary is constantly expanding’, concludes the violist.
