On this album, I tried to express through sounds the influences that have affected me from childhood to the present day. Once I asked my father to transcribe a two-handed standard as a classical piece. He didn’t really want to, but my mother insisted, so he did it anyway, and then he told me: Look through the sheet music, then forget it and play it the way you think it should be played. That's what I tried to do on this album: play the way I think it should be played, accepting the uncertainty of how it would go. I hadn't prepared for the pieces at all, and I was a bit anxious about it, but it made the result more natural.

Poet, friend of Petrarch, and ecclesiastic, Philippe de Vitry was also one of the leading figures of the Ars Nova, a movement that brought polyphonic and poetic refinement to its peak. This album, the debut recording of Ensemble Arborescence, is the result of extensive research by David Chappuis, following a meticulous study of the sources. It seeks to place the singers in the performance conditions of the 14th century, including historically informed Latin pronunciation. Recorded at Royaumont, the programme weaves together motets by Philippe de Vitry—from early works to those of his maturity—with interludes composed by David Chappuis on Vitry’s own poetry. This carefully crafted perspective invites us to rediscover the work of one of the most fascinating musical figures of the Middle Ages.

Under heavy Viennese skies or in Berlin smoky cabarets, Berg, Ullmann and Weill dive into the “soul of the Seine sewers in Paris” or into the very depths of Louise Labé’s enamoured soul. They “search for oblivion everywhere”… each of them pursuing the hoped-for Youkali in a dark period of history which is so close to our own. This is how the soprano singer Margaux Poguet captures heat: she offers us a bundle of Lieder coming from the lushest post-Romantic forest, lit with a sparkle of raw expressionism and sulphurous realism.

Acid Jazz’s Mod-Soul warriors return to the fold for their third album on the label What Kind Of World?. A fantastic journey through the ever-expanded world of songwriter and frontman Nick Corbin, it charts a growing maturity, but no lack of bite, as he takes on the challenges and joys of everyday life.

François d’Agincour (1684–1758) was a French composer, organist, and harpsichordist. Though overshadowed by contemporaries such as François Couperin and Jean-Philippe Rameau his surviving keyboard works offer a fascinating glimpse into the refined and ornate French classical organ tradition of the early 18th century.

María de Buenos Aires is a tango operita (little opera) composed by Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) with a libretto by poet Horacio Ferrer. Premiering in 1968, the piece is one of Piazzolla’s most ambitious and innovative works, blending tango, classical music, and surrealist poetry. It represents a major departure from traditional tango, showcasing Piazzolla’s distinctive nuevo tango style—complex, dramatic, and infused with elements of jazz and avant-garde music.

John W. Duarte (1919-2004) was educated at the Manchester University Faculty of Technology. He worked as a professional chemist until 1969, then abandoned chemistry in favor of full-time dedication to music, after having been persuaded by Len Williams, father of John Williams. His only formal musical education consisted in jazz guitar lessons with Terence Terry Usher, the rest he learned by self-instruction. He also worked professionally as a player of the trumpet and double bass, and regularly worked as a jazz musician, among others with Coleman Hawkins and Django Reinhardt.

« I enjoy exploring imaginary continents, dreamed-up worlds, building bridges where, on paper, there would be none. This time, I want to create new musical cartographies — those of a lost, mythical, dreamed-up city: Atlantis. » Anne Paceo Between spirituality and the pull of the abyss, the drummer with a thousand and one rhythms immerses us in a substance that is both part of our lives and our everyday existence, while retaining an aura of mystery. Is her Atlantis a source of reflection on our world in the midst of upheaval and chaos? Or is it the (re)source of her wildly magnetic artistic inspiration?

It’s no secret that ‘Rapture of the Deep’ isn’t the first album that comes to mind when listing Deep Purple’s classics – and while it was met with interest at the time, it gradually faded from view. Despite solid sales, the album arrived during a period when there was little spotlight on the world of classic rock, and over the years, ‘Rapture of the Deep’ developed into an overlooked chapter in Deep Purple’s rich discography.
