Following the critical acclaim of her first album, Lueurs, released just a year ago by Cypres, the young Belgian composer Apolline Jesupret is back with a second monographic CD entitled Bleu Ardent. This time, the idea originated in the mind of Maya Levy, the night following the creation of the violin concerto Ardeurs Intimes, where the violinist dreamed with the tenacious conviction of the unconscious of an album performed by the two of them. She tirelessly worked on it, developing ideas and proposals, and performs half of the pieces on the record. This concerto is inspired by the inner state one can feel in a love relationship with another. Throughout the work, the contrasting energies that cross the soul find their echo in the music. Bleue, Apolline's first symphonic work, is the color of our planet, of the ocean, and of the rolling wave: we hear strength and fragility, caress and slap, the energy of life and the threat of death - the surprising end, like a corkscrew, like a scorpion's tail. Dans l'air du soir, for solo violin, evokes, from Apolline's admiration for Claude Debussy, seven sharp scents with poetically evocative titles. Inspired by the paintings of painter and composer Julie Theriault, de Glace and de Lave are part of a cycle of sound studies for the piano. The first explores the cold, immutable, and crystalline texture of an iceberg, while the second aims to trace the different states of lava in a magmatic energy and in the force of a volcanic eruption.
