Transfigured Purcell Airs could be the subtitle of this programme, VoX. 

Indeed, it is the music of this brilliant English composer of the Baroque era that is at stake, but David Chevallier works with this fabulous material like an alchemist, retaining the active ingredients and adding his own secret ingredients.

The arias for solo voice become trios, the harmonies and rhythms are sometimes distorted, sometimes unchanged, and a new entity emerges, a kind of Janus showing two faces, the old and the new.

It is all about striking a balance between respect for the original work and creative freedom.

David Chevallier, well versed in this exercise, invites us to rediscover Purcell through his personal prism, surrounded by three emblematic voices, ready for any adventure.
