Work: Chants de terre et de ciel, for soprano and piano

The Canadian soprano and her accomplished accompanist, Bertrand Chamayou, offer a thoughtful and eclectic program of Messiaen, Scriabin and John Zorn.

The musical objects ranged from Phyllis Chen’s custom music-box to a Chinese food take-out box that sounded as if birds were chirping inside. Occasionally, the amalgam of twinkling noises was joined by a titter of laughter from the fascinated audience.

Dans l'œuvre formidable de John Zorn comme dans les Chants de Terre et de Ciel de Messiaen ou dans les pièces de Scriabine, les deux artistes proposent une interprétation exceptionnelle.
