After tenor Cyrille Dubois explored lesser-known works for ténor de grâce from the Opéra-Comique repertoire with his repeatedly award-winning album "So Romantique!" (jpc), he turns in this new recording to a unique genre: French mélodie with orchestra (jpc 11152208). "Because I am very interested in the chamber music dimension of music, I was naturally drawn to this form, which is rarely on the program nowadays. Attention to tone color is crucial here, especially when interpreting such short pieces, an exercise that forms the core of my approach as a mélodiste," says Dubois. This program, compiled by the researchers and editors of the Palazzetto Bru Zane, lets us rediscover lost treasures of French heritage: refinement, the art of suggestion, delicacy, expressivity - everything here is so poetic!
