JACQUES LEGUERNEY: 28 MÉLODIES
Composer Jacques Leguerney’s (born on 10 November 1906 in Le Havre) compositions represent one of the highest achievements in the genre of French song. His works are the epitome of «cultivated French»; music, text and historical background blend into one. The composer’s works, characterized by rich harmonies, inventive melodies, surprising turns and sudden tonal shifts, could be described as Neo-Baroque with overtones of Debussy’s «Art nouveau». Leguerney’s unending pursuit of musical and extra-musical ideals lends these exquisite songs a timeless quality.
Danielle Borst, soprano, Brigitte Balleys, mezzo-soprano, Philippe Huttenlocher, baritone, and Mary Dibbern, piano, have recorded a selection of Jacques Leguerney’s most beautiful songs for Claves in collaboration with Radio Suisse Romande – Espace 2.
