La Tempête
From ancient Roman chants, via Manchicourt, Isaac and Senfl to Arvo Pärt, this programme swings between death and dreams, darkness and oblivion – the domain of Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep. La Tempête presents a pilgrimage for the mind and the senses, in which the healing power of music and mystical inspiration merge. Master of rituals Simon-Pierre Bestion shows us the way in a nocturnal realm where poppies grow and the Lethe, the river of oblivion, quietly babbles.
