< World Premiere > THIERRY PÉCOU : Le Visage, le Cœur (Concerto for Piano & Mixed Choir) Sunday 28 July, 2013 – La Roque d'Anthéron, France (Festival de La Roque d'Anthéron) Chœur de Chambre Les Éléments, cond. Joël Suhubiète Alexandre Tharaud, Piano solo Schott Music, 2012 “This concerto for piano and choir without orchestra takes its inspiration from Mexican seals made in the pre-Hispanic era. The song celebrates friendship, and a mix of joy and trepidation arising from contemplation of the beauty and transience of life. The corresponding Nahuan expression ’Le visage, le cœur’ ('The face, the heart') describes the external and internal form of an individual. Stanzas are alternated with commentary, creating a universe characterised by the ‘ontological pessimism’ of the Aztecs, their propensity for heightened emotion, and their intense experiences of particular moments in time.” — Thierry Pécou
