      Album Details

      Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Félicien David's "Le désert," a captivating ode-symphonie that blends chamber music, vocal, and orchestral elements into a mesmerizing musical journey. Composed in 1844, this three-part masterpiece is brought to life by the renowned Accentus choir and the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, under the skilled direction of Laurence Equilbey. The album features the talents of tenors Cyrille Dubois and Zachary Wilder, along with the evocative narration of Jean-Marie Winling.

      "Le désert" is a unique musical experience, inspired by David's travels in the Middle East. The composition is divided into three main sections: "L'entrée au désert" (The Entry into the Desert), "Nuit" (Night), and "Lever du soleil" (Sunrise). Each section is further divided into movements that paint vivid musical pictures of desert life, from the bustling "Marche de la caravane" to the serene "La rêverie du soir."

      The album offers two versions of the work: a concise version without the récitant (narrator) on the first CD, and the complete version with the récitant on the second CD. This allows listeners to appreciate the full narrative depth of David's composition or to focus solely on the musical elements.

      With a duration of 1 hour and 34 minutes, "Le désert" is a substantial and engaging listen, showcasing David's ability to blend Western classical music with Eastern influences. The album is a testament to David's innovative approach to composition and his enduring legacy in the world of classical music.

      About Félicien David

      Félicien-César David, a pioneering French composer born in 1810, was a trailblazer in bringing Oriental exoticism to the forefront of French Romantic music. As a prodigy, he began his musical journey as a chorister in Aix-en-Provence before moving to Paris to study at the prestigious Conservatoire. David's most renowned work, "Le désert" (The Desert), captivated audiences across Europe with its unique blend of sounds and cultural influences. While often considered a minor figure in French music history, his innovative compositions left a lasting impact on subsequent generations of composers. From chamber music to operatic works like "Lalla Roukh," David's music continues to enchant and inspire, offering a rich tapestry of sounds that reflect his adventurous spirit and artistic vision.
