After the first recording of Saint-Saens' opera Ascanio, Guillaume Tourniaire returns to b•records' Geneva collection to resurrect a new score... and a wonderful composer: La Sorciere by Camille Erlanger! Written on a libretto by Andre Sardou based on the eponymous play by Victorien Sardou, and created at the Opera-Comique in 1912 in Paris, La Sorciere impresses with it's theatricality and musical richness, mixing with originality the lyricism of French post-romantic school, impressionist transparencies and the aesthetic influences of naturalism. It's terrifying portrait of religious and xenophobic intolerance, as well as the fate reserved for women under the yoke of the Spanish Inquisition in the 16th century, is strikingly relevant today, more than a hundred years after it's creation. An unforgettable live performance conducted by Guillaume Tourniaire at the Victoria Hall in Geneva with the Choir and Orchestra of the Haute ecole de Musique de Geneve, and an exceptional cast.
