This CD is the third harmonia mundi recording of music by Thierry Pécou, whose acclaimed 'Symphonie du Jaguar' won a Diapason d'Or in 2010. This composer of Caribbean descent has consistently extended his sources of inspiration to Latin America and notably in the direction of Mexico, of which we hear echoes in 'L'Arbre aux fleurs' and 'Soleil-Tigre'.But it is Brazil that lies at the origin of the 'carnival' concerto 'Tremendum', the main work in the programme, presented here in a new version specially made by Pécou for Les Percussions Claviers de Lyon.
“Pécou delights in music which is jagged, ritualistic – he dreams of “making the whole world resonate.” And this encapsulates exactly what’s so startling about several of the pieces collected on this second Harmonia Mundi anthology – they don’t sound composed at all, more like field recordings collected by an intrepid ethnomusicologist.” The Arts Desk
