about

"The trumpeter Romain Leleu and the organist Thierry Escaich don’t care about stylistic labels. In their latest album, they spice up the “trompet & organ” genre thanks to their overflowing energy and sparkling twinckle. From Rachmaninov to Mickael Jackson, from Samson and Dalila to West Side Story, the two partners play a selection of arrangments – most of them original – with a contagious enthusiasm.

In Édith Piaf’s hypnotizing refrain, “Nessun Dorma”’s lyrical bravery and the delicacy of Handel and Purcell’s arias, Romain Leleu and Thierry Escaich know how to transpose all the nuances of the repertoire.

Called “Vocalises” because of the proximity between the trumpet and the human voice, this disc favours renowned classical arias as well as 20th hits and last but not least. In the intervals, Thierry Escaich runs wild in the art where he excells, the improvisation."

"Le trompettiste Romain Leleu et l’organiste Thierry Escaich n’ont que faire des étiquettes : dans ce nouvel album, ils dépoussièrent le genre trompette et orgue avec un cocktail détonnant d’énergie et de malice. De Rachmaninov à Michael Jackson, de Samson et Dalila à West Side Story, les musiciens complices jouent ces arrangements – essentiellement inédits – avec un plaisir communicatif.

Dans la rengaine hypnotique de La Foule d’Édith Piaf, la bravoure lyrique du Nessun Dorma de Puccini, ou la délicate orfèvrerie des airs baroques d’Haendel et Purcell, Romain Leleu et Thierry Escaich déploient des trésors d’interprétation pour retranscrire toutes les subtilités et la musicalité des oeuvres originales.

Intitulé Vocalises en écho à la proximité du timbre ductile de la trompette et de la voix humaine, ce disque fait la part belle aux airs célèbres du répertoire classique autant qu’aux tubes du XXe siècle, mais aussi à l’improvisation, art dont Thierry Escaich est un maître reconnu."
