Mikrokosmos - Passion (2022)

A Mikrokosmos concert is always an amazing, often unforgettable experience! The famous ensemble has continued to develop the classic form of concert and performance so that the spectator feels ever more involved.
How to approach the theme of the Passion without immediately embracing a thousand years of prestigious religious music? How many Passions of Christ have inflamed the most beautiful feathers, inspired the greatest painters? The choral art itself has a flamboyant catalog forged from multiple eras, styles and aesthetics. Because it has now matured, it is Mikrokosmos' turn to confront it.
This CD includes the vocal pieces of PASSION, the new show of Mikrokosmos. 19 vocal pieces by contemporary composers that allow you to explore this theme from the evocation of the Passion of Christ (and the works it inspired) to the different passions that inhabit man. This great vocal journey deploys for the listener a wide range of emotions between sadness and joy, depth and lightness, love and death.
To invite the theme of passion on stage is to evoke the life of men in its slightest convulsions: gravity, lightness, carelessness, sadness, commitment, tyranny, unreason, loneliness... All these torments and these folds of the heart. All the intensity of the passions of Eros and Thanatos.
