“Mass in addition to series of events”. “Missa Fors only”. Huelgas Ensemble, Paul Van Nevel (direction).
This is a first world recording of two masses by Ludwig Daser offered by this tireless pilgrim of early music that is Paul Van Nevel. A Protestant composer from the second half of the 16th centurye century, tenor at the Catholic Hofkapelle in Munich, where he became choirmaster in 1552, and whom the Counter-Reformation expelled to replace him with Roland de Lassus. He will then be engaged at the court of Würtemberg, in Stuttgart, which has broken with Rome since 1538. Ten of his twenty-two masses have come down to us, including the Mass. In addition to a series of events (to six voices) and the Missa Fors only (four voices). If the first is built on the use of the firm song (plainchant), the second borrows from a song then famous throughout Europe, fors only. Accustomed to all musical and stylistic requirements, the singers of the Huelgas Ensemble storm with color, lively fluidity and honest articulation, giving this skilfully distilled polyphony a depth and interiority of great beauty.

Eight musical themes from films and one from a television series, The Persuaders !known in France under the title Sincerely yoursare in the generic of Rollin’, the new album by trumpeter Erik Truffaz. Magnificent introduction, that of the crystal sound of Matthis Pascaud’s guitar and the misty veil of Nino Rota’s trumpet in The street for Federico Fellini’s film. Final swing enchantment with What is the weather in Paris ?by Alain Romans, who comes and goes in Mr. Hulot’s Holidays, by Jacques Tati. From one to the other, Truffaz and his comrades – in addition to Pascaud, Alexis Anérilles on keyboards, Marcello Giuliani on bass and Raphaël Chassin on drums – play pleasant re-readings. night roadby Michel Magne, for The Tontons gunslingers, leads to a pop-psyche energy. Magne is again celebrated with Fantomasin succession of climates, and it is those of the electric period of Miles Davis which revive the original acoustics ofElevator to the Gallows… A great pleasure, whose thirty-three minutes seem too short.

Three hands point towards the sky. They are those of three of the most respectable American singer-songwriters of their generation. Either Boygenius, the meeting of Phoebe Bridgers, the most publicized, fervent defender of LGBT + rights, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, 27 years old on average. Their first mini-album, released five years ago, already revealed the strong bond of these three complementary identities. This first long format, recorded at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La Studios in Malibu (California) takes on even more height, shared between dreamy folk magnified by vocal harmonies of incomparable accuracy (the ultrasensitive Emily I’m Sorry, Without You Without Them)unbridled indie rock like Breeders (Satanist, $20) et pop introspective (Not Strong Enough, while weightless). With The Recordthe addition of these three talents surpasses their respective careers, and gives us to hear one of the best indie rock albums of the moment. Frank Colombani
