This is Zig-Zag Territories first collaboration with the great conductor, composer and oboist Heinz Holliger and the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra. This disc brings together pivotal works of two Viennese composers, works written prior to abandoning tonality and still strongly linked to what went before but already offering glimpses of what the atonal adventure would be. With this fine disc, Heinze gives a particularly moving, committed interpretation of works that are sometimes enclosed in useless carapaces.

"• Produced by the Bru-Zane Foundation, whose mission is to aid in the rediscovery of unjustly neglected French music, 1780 to 1920. • An album of Romantic French cantatas by Cherubini, Héand Boisselot in the company of an exceptional guide, mezzo-soprano Karine Deshayes, Opera Fuoco and its conductor, David Stern. • The French Cantata, a Baroque-era presence, was restored to favor in the 19th century as an alternative to the Italian stage, then generally perceived in France as being overly exuberant."

Even before the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Genoese maintained a fortified trading base on Galata Hill beyond the Golden Horn. In the course of time, it developed more and more into the center of European embassies and trading posts. From then on, the city at the interface between the Occident and the Orient became a place where the different cultures also met musically. The recording aims to trace this encounter, for example when Galata's Italian piffari with their Renaissance oboes took up the repertoire of the janissaries with the characteristic sound of the Ottoman oboe. The fact that a meeting can still be fruitful and extremely stimulating today is demonstrated in this recording by the incredible creativity of the musicians involved.

This set, a journey to the heart of the Tango, also reveals the importance of this music and the full singularity of a language that crosses styles and strikes profound chords in us. + In fact, this set constitutes a quadruple portrait of the Tango, bringing together four recordings from four different ensembles: the Caliente Quartet, the Ensemble Contraste, the Ensemble Astoria and the duo of cellist François Salque and accordionist Vincent Peirani. + This set also traces the evolution of this language, from Piazzolla to Beytelmann, including the byways taken by the Salque-Peirani duo.
