.. Illuminations |
| | Description: | Britten Les Illuminations is an album by Mari Eriksmoen / Edward Gardner / Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, released in 2021. The album is a Super Audio Cd classical CD.
Following successful appearances at the Opéracomique, in Paris, Grand Théâtre de Genève, Oper Frankfurt, Komische Oper Berlin, and Teatro alla Scala, in Milan, the Norwegian soprano Mari Eriksmoen is undoubtedly a rising star. On the concert stage she has made important recent appearances with the Orchestre de Paris, Berliner Philharmoniker, Oslo Philharmonic, and Münchner Philharmoniker, among others. Here she joins the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Edward Gardner for a powerful album of orchestral songs, coupling Brittenâ??s Les Illuminations and Four French Songs with a selection of Canteloubeâ??s inimitable Songs of the Auvergne. Eriksmoen spent a year studying in Paris, and proves an effective and natural singer in the French language. As she mentions in her programme note: â??It is highly demanding to sing in French when it is not oneâ??s native tongue, but I have always felt at home when singing in French and nurture an emotional attachment to the French language.â?? - ..

? Edward Gardner: © Benjamin Ealovega Photography (back cover)This hybrid SACD+CD release from Chandos Records unites two luminous pillars of 20th-century vocal music: Benjamin Britten's "Les Illuminations" and a selection from Joseph Canteloube's "Chants d'Auvergne". Performed by soprano Mari Eriksmoen with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Edward Gardner, the recording offers both audiophile sound (on SACD) and conventional CD playback, making it ideal for discerning listeners and everyday music lovers alike. The French-language song cycle "Les Illuminations", based on the visionary poetry of Arthur Rimbaud, is presented in a reading that balances crystalline clarity of text with a highly atmospheric orchestral palette. In the contrasting "Chants d'Auvergne", Canteloube's arrangements of traditional Auvergnat folksongs unfold in warm, pastoral colors, bringing out both the rustic charm and the refined craftsmanship of these much-loved miniatures. The carefully curated selection highlights the stylistic range of early-to-mid-20th-century vocal orchestral repertoire, moving between impressionistic shimmer, folk-inspired lyricism and expressive modern tonal language.
Mari Eriksmoen has established herself as one of the most interesting lyric sopranos of her generation, known for her luminous timbre, agile technique and stylistic versatility. She has appeared with leading European opera houses and orchestras in a wide-ranging repertoire that spans Baroque roles, Classical heroines and 20th-century works, and she is particularly admired for her idiomatic French diction and engaging stage presence. Under the baton of Edward Gardner, a conductor widely respected for his work in both opera and symphonic repertoire and for his long-standing collaboration with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, the performances are shaped with a keen sense of color, rhythm and narrative momentum. The Bergen Philharmonic brings its characteristic transparency and refinement to Britten's sharply etched textures and to the lush, folk-inflected sound world of Canteloube.
