La Dame de Monte Carlo
Felicity Lott, soprano
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande
Armin Jordan, conductor
Two dramas for solo woman. A young woman talks over the phone to her lover, whom we never hear; tomorrow he isgoing to marry someone else… Several times the conversation is interrupted as the line is cut, each time withdramatic effect; and behind this everyday banality, we realise that we are witnessing a veritable descent to the depthswith this abandoned woman. Three years after "La Voix humaine" (his "sad and lovely child", as he used to refer to itwith Denise Duval, its first performer), Poulenc was to conclude his collaboration with Cocteau by writing the shortmonologue that completes this CD: he musical style has not changed, but this time, the depths are those of theMediterranean, in which the old lady of Monte-Carlo, "a dead woman among the dead" has decided to plunge for thelast time…This title was released for the first time in 2001.
