1-14. Récitations

Total time 43:12

Donatienne Michel-Dansac, voice
Wien Modern 2001
First integral performance

Recorded live at the Vienna Konzerthaus, Neuer Saal, November 16th, 2001

Self-sacrifice? Yes!
Simultaneous recital of two texts, abstention from inhaling – you name it, he wants it. And Donatienne Michel-Dansac does it...

And on top of it all this sadistic composer wants his singer to enjoy gasping for air. But the Récitations are not just physically demanding; they also require immense musical intelligence of the singer: "Rather than creating melodies simply by combining higher and lower notes I use syllables and phonemes, the components of our language." (Aperghis) In these pieces Aperghis has assembled countless numbers of these components, and he wants them to sound – as simple as possible, why of course! And in spite of all these nearly unfulfillable demands (or because of them?) Donatienne Michel-Dansac does enjoy herself. "It's an adventure, and a challenge, to perform the 14 Récitations – for the audience, too."

Seriously, Greek composers are by far the most interesting bunch. They're completely in another league all by themselves. Whereas others secretly indulge themselves with erotica, these descendants of Bacchanalia openly brag about their penchant for porn. Their invitation to raunchy sex is the fastest way to cure you from your refined (musical) sensibility, and I swear once you acquired its taste you won't want to go back to your boring wife again...EVER! Metaphorically speaking, of course. :)

Thanks for sharing!
