“Incantations” proposes a programme that would trace the history of brass instruments, while exploring the borderline between spiritual and earthly music.
GECA BRASS
Since it was created in Mulhouse in 1992, the Grand Ensemble de Cuivres d’Alsace has performed throughout Europe. Its members come from the greatest orchestral phalanges (Berliner Philharmoniker, Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt, Sinfonieorchester Basel, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio-France, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo…)
He has developed a unique repertoire through innovative transcriptions, and performs in many different forms and sizes.
Creation is also an integral part of its projects, which is why for the past 25 years the GECA has commissioned numerous composers such as Marc Monnet, Anthony Plog, Benjamin Garzia, and Gustavo Beytelmann.
It works actively in the fields of broadcasting, teaching, interaction with the amateur milieu and interventions in schools.

The Age of Enlightenment has never ceased to fascinate. The philosophical ideas and esthetics it sparked are an unending source for inspiration and artistic research.
Decades of tradition stir passionate debates around the ideal interpretation for music of this period. Yet, if there exists one style of music which remains forever modern, it is baroque music.
If tradition consists of reviving flames, as opposed to venerating ashes, what could be more natural than to interpret this music again and again? Every artist brings a new stone to the edifice of this ideal and eternal art.
Modern or period instruments? Why dismiss a search for authenticity? Why dismiss a more modern way of reigniting flames? Both visions inevitably converge towards a same ideal. With this concept in mind, this recording offers a crossover of two celebrated trombone concerti, with other musical perspectives, such as oratorio, or transcription.
Henri-Michel Garzia offers his enlightenment on these masterpieces, accompanied by l’Ensemble Neophonia, on this journey through a century, a personality, and an encounter with the most primordial instrument, the human voice, incarnated by soprano Vannina Santoni.
