About

Six countries, five languages, and a century of music!
 
‘What strikes me, in performing this programme, is of course its intrinsic musical (and not merely ethnomusicological) value and its richness but also its expression of a folk imagination whose themes are far removed from the preoccupations of the loquacious poetasters who inhabited the Romantic salons. The great majority of the poems set to music here - which are often anonymous, since they are directly derived from oral tradition - deal with frustrated love, arranged marriages, mothers mourning their sons killed in battle, harvests too poor to nourish the family, betrothed couples ardently awaiting their union; here too is nature with its succession of mysteries and symbols.
 
These songs contain a whole universe of piety, fatalism and superstition, sometimes recounted with an amused distance; they express both fabled folk wisdom and a poetic lyricism in resonance with the elements: in short, all of 'earthly life' is there."
 
[Salomé Haller]
 
Zig-Zag Territoires has been totally won over by the commitment of the two artists to this project, so clearly shown in their working notes, and by their immersion in repertoire which they have prepared in numerous concerts.
