On this new album from b-records, the versatile flautist and jazz musician Jocelyn Mienniel (composer) and Fiona Monbet (musical director) collaborate on a hybrid reinterpretation of Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, which was created during a residency at the Fondation Royaumont. Based on an original text by Olivier Cadiot, the creation brings together a chamber orchestra, a jazz ensemble, traditional Chinese instruments, electronic music, a children's choir and vocals, using improvisation and literary cut-up techniques. This transformation reveals Das Lied von der Erde as a resolutely modern work whose humanism unfolds with new intensity.
