Claude Debussy

Claude Debussy is an influential musician from the 20th century, who played an important role in the history of modern music.
Using innovative music scales that were not commonly seen in the traditional western music, he established a richer and more picturesque harmony.
Debussy's songs may not be as well recognized as his piano and orchestral works, but his songs also depict delicate lights and beautiful shadows, water flow, and inner feelings that are synonymous with his music, through the text by symbolist poets like Verlaine.

Hauschka(Volker Bertelmann)

Hauschka (Volker Bertelmann) is a leading German pianist / composer in the post-classical music scene. His unique expression using the prepared piano combines the essence of electronica, techno, and rock, creating rhythmical sounds that attract many listeners across genres. While signed with British record label FatCat Records, he released a collaboration album with Hilary Hahn from Gramophone in Germany. In recent years, he advanced into the film music industry and was nominated for the Grammy Award in the movie "Lion" (2016), proving his outstanding talent in the film music scene.

Jessica has an extraordinary voice that’s supernatural in a way, not only because of her interpretation of French songs, but to me it sounds almost like music from a science fiction movie. She interprets the music pieces with a kind of jazz approach without making it sound jazzy, which makes the work more appealing. I think the album came out amazing and I’m sure the album tracks as well as Jessica’s vocals will be heard by many people over a long time.

RE-CLASSIC STUDIES

Aujourd’hui, la musique classique semble éloignée de nos vies quotidiennes et aimée que par un petit nombre des admirateurs. C’est comme si que les chefs-d'œuvre sont devenus « beaux objets antiques » gardés au fond des musées.
Par ce projet, nous essayons de libérer ces œuvres mis en oubli, enlever la poussière et les polir, les éclairer d’une autre manière.
Ceci est un essai de les faire « UBERTRAGEN » (renaissance, traduction, transposition) à la musique modern, plus souvent écoutés dans la vie quotidienne, pour que ces morceaux absolument beaux puissent glisser à travers les connus et les inconnus et toucher vos cœurs.

C'est quoi [RE-CLASSIC STUDIES]?
