On this new b-records album, versatile flutist 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," created during a residency at the Fondation Royaumont. The creation is based on an original text by Olivier Cadiot and brings together a chamber orchestra, a jazz ensemble, traditional Chinese instruments, electronic music, a children's choir, and vocals, making use of improvisation and literary cut-up techniques. This transformation reveals "Das Lied von der Erde" as a resolutely modern work whose humanism unfolds with fresh intensity.
