about

"The ensemble Aedes began its musical journey with Poulenc, under the impetus of conductor Mathieu Romano. Here, at the head of Les Siècles, Romano returns to the unclassifiable composer to record two of his major works. In the pious contemplation of the Litanies, here performed in the manuscript version, and the orchestral luxuriance of the Stabat Mater, spirituality is expressed through music that is lively, sensitive and even, at times, sensuous. Sculpting out every phrase and note, always at the service of the text, the ensemble and Mathieu Romano confirm their affinity with the composer's language.

As an interlude Mathieu Romano has included a secular piece, O doulx regard, o parler gratieux, by the Renaissance composer Clément Janequin. The boundaries between earthly love and mystical love are thus abolished in favour of pure emotion."

"C’est avec Poulenc que l’aventure Aedes est née, sous l’impulsion du chef Mathieu Romano. À la tête de la phalange des Siècles au complet pour cet enregistrement, il revient à l’inclassable compositeur avec deux pierres angulaires de son œuvre. Dans le pieux recueillement des Litanies, présentées dans la version du manuscrit, ou la luxuriance orchestrale du Stabat mater s’exprime une spiritualité à l’image de cette musique : vivante, sensible et même sensuelle. L’ensemble Aedes et Mathieu Romano s’en font les messagers, sculptant chaque phrase au creux d’une sonorité splendide, confirmant ainsi leurs affinités avec l’univers de Poulenc.

Mathieu Romano met cette spiritualité en regard avec un intermède profane, la chanson O doulx regard, o parler gratieux du compositeur renaissant Janequin, abolissant les frontières entre amour terrestre et amour mystique, au profit de l’émotion pure."
