Jean-François Bovard, Bovard Orchestra & Ensemble vocal d'Erguël - Echo d'Eole: Oratorio des énergies, pour choeur, ténor, orchestre et danseuse / Suite instrumentale (2017) [Hi-Res]

Echo d'Eole: Oratorio des énergies, pour choeur, ténor, orchestre et danseuse / Suite instrumentale is a breathtaking modern classical release from Swiss composer Jean-François Bovard, recorded at the 2025 Festival d'Erguël. A vivid fusion of classical, world, and cinematic elements, the oratorio draws on the myth of Echo and Narcissus to explore our complex relationship with the elements and the magic of sound. Featuring the Bovard Orchestra and the Ensemble vocal d'Erguël under Bovard's direction, the work is narrated by the tenor voice of Zacharie Michaud and brought to life through the powerful soprano of Eléonore Gonthier, all interwoven with the interpretive presence of a dancer. This release presents both the full oratorio and a separate instrumental suite, offering an immersive journey into Bovard's innovative and visionary musical world.
