Gracias A La Vida (Thanks To Life) is a recital that is a subtle fusion of classical and popular music from different eras and latitudes. A hymn of love to life itself.
It reflects the multifaceted personal journey of mezzo-soprano Anne-Lise Polchlopek and transcends the boundaries between repertoires to explore the universality of human existence and its relationship with time, with nature, and with other human beings. The program moves from the modesty of a traditional lullaby to the poetic intimacy of a mélodie or a Lied, from the lyricism of a simple song to the splendour of an aria from an opera or a zarzuela.
The artist’s imagination links pairs of composers together on each track of this album and sparks unique journeys for the listener: De Falla converses with Strauss and Messiaen, while Chaminade and Giménez tease Mozart; Brel responds to Fauré, while Parra sublimates Viardot.
Gracias a La Vida presents new arrangements in which Pierre Laniau (guitar) and Federico Tibone (piano) join Anne-Lise Polchlopek to create a musical odyssey in which all can share and find new connections.
