Voir, Ensemble, Maintenant : These three cantatas are united first and foremost by their evocation of nature, an essential theme in Guillevic’s work, with a characteristic way of identifying with flowers, rocks, blackbirds or butterflies that is both troubling and marvellous. It’s like rediscovering an original fusion with the world, without forgetting oneself.
