Cinq Rechants

Le Cantique des Cantiques

Approved

The Song of Songs has puzzled people for centuries. How do these explicitly erotic texts fit into the religious tradition? The Swedish Radio Choir under Kaspars Putniņš in collaboration with video artist Roberts Rubīn, painter Kristīna Rubīne and Etienne Glaser as reciter celebrate life and the power and marvels of the physical world through three works by 20th century composers. The expressiveness of Daniel-Lesur’s mighty choral composition Le Cantique des Cantiques is well balanced by Ton de Leeuw’s intimate composition for twelve voices, Car nos vignes sont en fleurs, and Messiaen’s tender Cinq Rechants in an invented language. The Radio Choir perform the piece in unison with solo performances by the singers, which intensifies the significance of the message.

English

Kärleken och dess många ansikten är temat för denna konsert, där Radiokörens sång kompletteras med fantasieggande ljus-och bildkonst av videoartisten Roberts Rubīns och konstnären Kristīna Rubīne. Dessutom får vi uppleva Etienne Glaser recitera texter av poeter som Friedrich Hölderlin och Mary Oliver. I kvällens tre mäktiga och intima körverk får vi möjlighet att njuta av Radiokören både som kollektiv och i solistiska insatser, något som förstärker musikens förtroliga och varma budskap. Allt under ledning av Radiokörens chefsdirigent Kaspars Putniņš.
