André JOLIVET: Chant de Linos

Helen DABRINGHAUS, flute
Sebastian BERAKDAR, piano
It was the great Linus himself who taught Orpheus, the ancient singer par excellence, how to perform music before his jealous father Apollo killed him.
André Jolivet’s »Chant de Linos« is a highly expressive ancient funeral song pervaded by expressions of lament and dances which was composed in 1944 as a commissioned work for the annual competition at the Paris Conservatory.
