This album is a journey through passion, vision and sensuality and brings together three dazzling works for voice and orchestra. The centerpiece is Ernest Chausson's Poème de l'amour et de la mer op. 19 - a stirring, late-romantic meditation on love and loss in which human emotions dissolve into the vastness of the sea. Benjamin Britten's Les Illuminations op. 18, follows with electrifying intensity, translating Arthur Rimbaud's vivid, surreal poetry into music that is both incisive and radiant. The program concludes with Camille Saint-Saëns' rarely performed and intimate Extase, a tender song of rapture and devotion.
Tenor Edgaras Montvidas lends lyrical and emotional depth to this exceptionally poetic repertoire. He is accompanied by the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra (for the work by Chausson) and conductor Modestas Pitrenas. An exploration of love, language and longing - where music becomes poetry and poetry sings.
