Vivaldi: I colori dell'ombra


After a double album dedicated to Boccherini and acclaimed by critics, Ophélie Gaillard and the Pulcinella Orchestra reveal the incredible sound palette of Vivaldi, one of the most brilliant venetian musicians. Drawing on the finest cello works of the composer, Ophélie Gaillard's selection places great emphasis on the concerto, for one, two or even four performers. It also includes an exclusive reconstruction of the Concerto RV 788. The vocal interventions of Lucile Richardot and Delphine Galou light up the program like rays of sun through the clouds. The album alternates between moments of great emotion, sometimes even dolorous as in the Largo of the Concerto RV 416, and moments of passion and frenzy (in the concertos RV 419 or 409) that evoke the Summer from the Four Seasons. This music thus unveils all its mysteries in the interplay of lights and shadows, giving its name to this recording.

Après un double disque consacré à Boccherini salué par la critique, Ophélie Gaillard et le Pulcinella Orchestra nous entraînent à la découverte de l'incroyable palette sonore de Vivaldi, le plus génial des compositeurs vénitiens. Puisant dans les trésors du répertoire dédié à son instrument, la violoncelliste a conçu un florilège qui fait la part belle au concerto, qu'il soit solo, à deux ou à quatre, et comprenant une reconstruction inédite du Concerto RV 788. Les interventions chantées de Lucile Richardot et Delphine Galou, dans des airs d'opéra, irisent ce programme comme des rayons de soleil à travers les nuages. L'album alterne des mouvements de grande émotion, parfois douloureuse comme dans le Largo du Concerto RV 416, avec des envolées frénétiques et virtuoses (dans les mouvements haletants des concertos RV 419 ou 409) qui ne sont pas sans rappeler l'Été des Quatre Saisons. Les mystères de cette musique s'y épanouissent tout en jeux d'ombres et de lumières, dans un carnaval de couleurs qui donne son titre à cet enregistrement réjouissant.
