DESCRIPTION

'Beauty will save the world', wrote Dostoyevsky, which is the claim that Camille Thomas makes throughout this record. Not beauty for the sake of hedonism, but a beauty that believes there is a burning line to be drawn between pain and hope. Camille Thomas' new album illustrates this, structured like an archipelago surrounding the 'Cello Concerto' composed by Fazil Say. Camille Thomas gave its premiere in 2018, and her album spanning the work of ten composers, allows us to travel the path from pain to hope. On the threshold, we meet three pieces: the heart-rending melody of the 'Kaddisch' by Ravel, a sublimation of the Jewish prayer for the dead; the lamentation from Purcell's 'Dido', quasi a lullaby from the queen who awaits her death, in a nakedness without pathos; and between those two works, the tender 'Dance of the Blessed Spirits' from Gluck's 'Orfeo', in which we hear the first signals of hope.
