Marie-Nicole Lemieux - MER(S) (CD)

'Mer(s)' brings together three sumptuous late-19th century works for female voice and orchestra: Chausson's 'Poème de l'amour et de la mer', Elgar's 'Sea Pictures' and, in a world premiere recording, an 'ode-symphonie' by Victorin Joncières entitled 'La mer'. Following her triumphant performance as Cassandre in Berlioz's 'Les Troyens', Marie-Nicole Lemieux embarks on this musical sea voyage in the company of the Orchestre et Choeurs Nationaux Bordeaux Aquitaine under their music director Paul Daniel.
