about

In 1958 Poulenc composed La voix humaine, a one-act opera for soprano and orchestra, based on the monodrama of the same name, written for the Comédie-Française by his friend Jean Cocteau. In this staging of the end of an amorous relationship, we hear only the woman’s side of a final telephone conversation with the man who has abandoned her. The orchestra in this innovative work is used not only to unify the composition, but also to reveal what the voice, laid bare by a moving parlé-chanté style, does not say.
Fiançailles pour rire and Chemins de l’amour, usually for voice and piano, but presented here in an orchestrated version by one of our finest conductors, Frédéric Chaslin, completes this eloquent rendition of works of a bittersweetness that Poulenc transcends like no other.

__

En 1958, Poulenc compose La Voix humaine, une “tragédie lyrique” en un acte adaptée de la pièce que son ami Cocteau avait écrit pour la Comédie-Française. Dans cette mise en scène de la rupture amoureuse, une femme monologue à travers son téléphone. Avec un traitement vocal et instrumental novateur, l’orchestre révèle ce que la voix, dénudée par un parlé-chanté bouleversant, ne dit pas.
L’orchestration inédite des Fiançailles pour rire et des Chemins de l’amour réalisée par Frédéric Chaslin, l’un de nos plus grands chefs actuels, complète cette éloquente incarnation en diptyque du doux-amer, que Poulenc sublime sans pareil.
