Bleu Ardent
Maya Levy, Apolline Jesupret, Musiques Nouvelles
More than a year ago, the young Belgian composer Apolline Jesupret released her first album, "Lueurs". Currently, she is releasing her second monographic cd, titled "Bleu Ardent". "Bleue", Apolline's first symphonic work, has the color of our planet, the ocean and the rolling wave: we hear strength and vulnerability, tenderness and impact, the energy of life and the threat of death - the surprising ending. "Dans l'air du soir", for solo violin, evokes, based on Apolline's admiration for Claude Debussy, seven sharp scents with poetically sounding titles. Inspired by the paintings of painter and composer Julie Theriault, "De Glace" and "De Lave" are part of a cycle of sound studies for piano. In the first part, the cold, unchanging and crystal-clear texture of an iceberg is explored, while in the second part the different stages of lava in magmatic energy and in the power of a volcanic eruption are traced.
