About
One of the leading artists of Naďve Classique roster, Anne Gastinel has built this thrilling journey on exhilarating performances of works by two musical giants from Latin America: Argentina’s Astor Piazzolla and Brazil’s Heitor Villa-Lobos.
Anne Gastinel is joined by the prestigious ensemble of cellos from Orchestre National de France, and together they offer a new vision of Piazzolla’s masterpieces, transcribed especially for this project, and Villa-Lobos' best-loved melodies, including the aria from the 5th 'Bachianas Brasileiras', sung by the magical voice of Sandrine Piau.
“The programme is a joyful mix of long held feelings and desires that turned, quite spontaneously, into a real project. I love exploring different repertoire, ‘parallel’ worlds… to go from one universe to another in my work, and to alternate between the serious and the not-so-serious…just like in every day life. I also wanted to branch out in my discography, to take my listeners along new and unknown paths. And then, all of a sudden, I decided I really wanted to play with other cellists! The ensemble of cellos is magical: the range of the instrument is so large that it allowed us to create the effect of an orchestra! I really wanted to create this group in particular.
The works by Piazzolla needed transcribing for such an ensemble. […] I’ve been listening to Piazzolla for a long time, and it simply transports me. This marriage with Villa-Lobos, this coming together of Brazil and Argentina, seemed obvious to me. I was certain that a cello ensemble could wonderfully bring out the sounds of these South American countries. What’s more, above all I knew I was going to have to find another way of playing, to distance myself from the style I knew the most in order to tackle this repertoire, and that excited me a lot! These ‘new’ works by Villa-Lobos - one for cello ensemble and the other for cello and voice - are totally original. We all took such pleasure in sharing these magical moments with Sandrine!” - Anne Gastinel
