Benoît Mernier | Les Idées Heureuses (Ref.: CYP4613)
Since a couple of years, Benoît Mernier is considered as one of the most promising composers of our time: prestigious composition awards, publishing by Billaudot in Paris, performances in major festivals... This CD, which is released together with another (Cypres CYP4612) including a breath-taking polyphonic Mass and organ works, explains why, by giving a comprehensive view on the recent instrumental music by this young man, performed by an impressive range of first-rate interpreters. It is a fascinating discovery of the emergence of a distinctive voice in the world of contemporary music.
