His works not only attracted the attention of his contemporaries who were pursuing the art of polyphonic music, but also attracted the interest of many composers and songs since the 19th century, when Europeans were reawakened to the fascination of the cultural heritage of the past.On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the poet's birth, Douce Mémoire, a long-established French classical music group, has produced a double album of vocal works based on Ronsard's lyrics with Marc Moyon, a renowned singer who sings a wide variety of repertoire with precise expression over a wide range of registers. In Disc 1, the poems are recited to the bowing of the lilas, followed by examples based on the same poem by several composers, and in Disc 2, a selection of works by Gounod, Gouvy, and others from the 19th century and mid-19th century, as well as works by Ravel and others. In Disc 2, you will be able to compare the diversity of songs for piano accompaniment, from mid-19th century examples by Gounod and Gouvy to those by Ravel and the French sextet. Moillon's reliable collaborator Anne Le Bozek plays the piano, a 1905 Pleyel with a beautiful sound full of transparency and nuance. The booklet, which includes color illustrations of famous 16th- and 19th-century paintings, is also available (in French, English, and German). (Naxos Japan)
