Originelles – Marion Frère

Marion Frère’s Originelles is a true journey, where the cello travels across centuries and musical forms, guided by the inspiring voices of women composers—from Hildegard von Bingen to Marthe Bracquemond, with Rita Strohl and Marguerite Canal along the way. From solo cello to sextet, via a duo with piano, a dialogue with bass clarinet, and a string quartet, each musical world sparks the imagination. One of the album’s original features is that it follows not a chronological path—from the 12th to the 21st century—but a sonic progression, moving from the most intimate to the collective. Colors, textures, scents, and sensations intertwine in this synesthetic journey where the invisible becomes music. A vibrant tribute to feminine creative power—discreet yet forceful, timeless and universal.
