about

Cyrille Dubois is unstoppable: after two albums dedicated to Liszt and the Boulanger sisters, both acclaimed by the critics, and a flamboyant complete set of Fauré songs, the tenor is back to his preferred repertoire, the French art-song. He reunites with his accomplice, pianist Tristan Raës, to bring the Bordeaux composer Louis Beydts (1895-1953) out of oblivion, most of whose pieces are recorded here for the first time.
From these miniatures, Cyrille Dubois draws the sap of the musician's art: a pure product of French hedonism, refined and elegant, with a generous vocality... but also daring, for Beydts forbids himself nothing: echoes of jazz and light music, of Hahn or Fauré, polymodality and polytonality, his melodies traverse everything with supreme freedom, between fantasy, humour and contemplation.
By transporting us into this singular universe, Cyrille Dubois establishes himself as an invaluable performer of the repertoire and a pioneer of French music, with an uncommon mastery of the combination of word and music.

On n’arrête plus Cyrille Dubois : après deux albums dédiés à Liszt puis aux sœurs Boulanger, sacrés par la critique, et une flamboyante intégrale des mélodies de Fauré, revoici le ténor sur ses terres, la mélodie française. Il y retrouve son complice, le pianiste Tristan Raës, pour sortir de l’oubli le compositeur bordelais Louis Beydts (1895-1953), dont les pièces sont, pour la majorité, enregistrées pour la première fois ici.
De ces miniatures polies comme des bijoux, Cyrille Dubois tire la sève de l’art du musicien : un pur produit de l’hédonisme français, raffiné et élégant, à la vocalité généreuse… mais aussi audacieux, car Beydts ne s’interdit rien : échos du jazz et de musique légère, de Hahn ou de Fauré, polymodalité et polytonalité, ses mélodies traversent tout avec une suprême liberté, entre fantaisie, humour et contemplation.
En nous emportant dans cet univers singulier, Cyrille Dubois s'impose comme l'interprète indispensable du répertoire et un pionnier de la musique française, maîtrisant comme peu l’alliance du verbe et de la musique.
