Composers

Description

Alvorada or the invitation to the voyage of cellist Ophélie Gaillard and her magical cello, a musical tour from Spain to Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Cuba) featuring, in particular, the composers Villa-Lobos, Granados, Piazzolla and Jobim.

In an exceptional mixture of classical pieces and arrangements of the greatest themes of this intense music, the cello sings with the bandoneon, dances with the piano, guitar or percussion, and abandons itself in amorous intimacy with the voices.

Alvorada immerses us in a sound universe where the feverish energy of the rhythms of this Hispanic and South-American music entrances us and from which a sensual nostalgia responds to a dizzying tango. All the senses are aroused when hearing these spellbinding songs and rhythms.

The colour of the sun, from dawn to dusk, is found in the clever alternation of these enchanting, universal pieces.

All the exceptional musicians (Sabine Devieilhe, Toquinho, Sandra Rumolino, Juanjo Mosalini, Rudi Flores, Emmanuel Rossfelder, Gabriel Sivak…) participating in the Alvorada voyage hypnotize and fascinate us, allowing us to accompany them at every instant in the progression of this dream proposed by Ophélie Gaillard.

Listen

In the press

Time and again, Gaillard finds intense expression in the upper range of her instrument plus unfathomable melancholy in the bottom
Gramophone

La profondeur du violoncelle classique se marie idéalement avec les rythmes dansants et la nostalgie de ce répertoire.
Le Parisien

Un voyage ensoleillé hors des sentiers battus. Classica

Ce que l'archet subtil dévoile ressort  de l'émotion pure. Du grand art.
Diapason

Une grande réussite.
Le Figaro Magazine
