Comentários
A compositora francesa Mel Bonis é uma das figuras mais singulares do período conhecido como belle époque. Aluna de César Franck no Conservatório de Paris, ela deixou cerca de trezentas composições marcadas por sensibilidade poética e uma linguagem que navega entre o pós-romantismo e as cores do impressionismo. Neste disco, o foco está em sua produção orquestral, revista pelos músicos da BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, sob o comando de Rumon Gamba. Eles abrem o álbum com Femmes de légende, ciclo que a autora dedicou a grandes personagens femininas, como Ofélia (de Hamlet), Salomé e Cleópatra, e que é uma de suas criações mais relevantes. Como solista, a soprano Elizabeth Watts interpreta canções como Le chat sur le toit. Gamba rege, ainda, passagens da Suíte oriental e da Suite en forme de valses e as Trois danses. É o suficiente para mostrar como é merecido o resgate histórico que vem sendo feito da produção musical de Mel Bonis, mostrando seu trabalho como um capítulo relevante da criação musical na passagem do século XIX para o século XX.
Mel (Mélanie Hélène) Bonis was born in Paris in 1858, and showed a prodigious talent for music from an early age, attending the Paris Conservatoire from the age of sixteen, studying alongside Debussy and Pierné under César Franck. Her passionate relationship with the singer Amédée-Louis Hettich was frowned upon by her parents, who pressured her to marry Édouard Domange, a twice-widowed industrialist with five children.
Bonis threw herself into her role as wife and stepmother, until a reunion with Hettich in the 1890s reignited her serious interest in composition. She composed more than 300 works, including pieces for solo piano, chamber music, and over forty mélodies for voice and piano. As Bonis was too modest for self-promotion, and a victim of gender-bias, her music fell into obscurity after the First World War, and she became bedridden from arthritis. She continued to compose until her death, in 1937. Her orchestral output dates from two decades, between 1891 and 1912, and is well represented on this album.
