2 CDs (123'37) + DVD portrait of the composer (77'16) Eighth opera by Philippe Boesmans, put on by the librettist Joël Pommerat, Pinocchio has been published by Cypres (2 CDs) with a DVD that introduces the composer in his intimacy among friends and artists with whom he has been sharing his creativity. "A rite of passage, an opera for children, an opera about childhood" Philippe Boesmans "Pinocchio by Philippe Boesmans and Joël Pommerat keeps his promises, and above all this one, not obvious at all, to be an OPERA FOR EVERYBODY [...] A darkly enchanting world (...) full of enlightning darkness (...)" Télérama, Sophie Bourdais, 06/07/2017 "Pinocchio is a utopia that aspires to become a reality. His story, therefore, is about the conflict between fiction and reality, lies and truth, between the artificial and the authentic. It relates the passage from the state of being a thing to the state of being human. It is, therefore, about humanity and seeks to define it. It shows us that real humanity is not acquired at birth, but that, in a less obvious way, beings can acquire it over the course of their existence." Joël Pommerat

Philippe Boesmans - Chambres d'à côté (Ref.: CYP4636)
If Boesmans is the unquestioned pedestal of a new generation of leading opera composers, one who has reconciled the general public with a flagging genre, he is also a fabulous composer of chamber music, as this disc shows. His world is made of frivolity and gravity, joie de vivre and nostalgia, he is a wonderful orchestrator, an appetising virtuoso.
