The title of this album can be understood in different ways and lends itself to wordplay. Entertainment comes first, according to the literal translation of the Spanish diversión. And indeed, the works are at least partly intended to be light-hearted and relaxed. Nevertheless, the lightness of the French composer Olivier Penard’s music is almost illusory or merely a detour, because behind a diverse language there is music of serious, sometimes tragic expressivity, carried by an intense dramaturgy. As in the “Concert Argentin” with tango, jazz and milonga, but with the tragic life of Eva Perón at its center.

2022 opened with the broadcast of two new documentary films directed by Paul Rognoni for FR3-Corse-Via Stella. One, Requiem pour un oubli, A Requiem to forget, is a biographical overview based on interviews with the composer, whose voice and musical extracts alone form the soundtrack; the second is an audio-visual recording of the Requiem for Peace in concert at the Sorbonne’s Grand Amphitheatre on 30 November, performed by the Sorbonne University Choir and Orchestra (COSU), directed by Nicolas Agullo. These films extend the tributes paid to Henri Tomasi in 2021 for the fiftieth anniversary of his death and the 120th anniversary of his birth. A second international colloquium was also held at the Sorbonne with the help of the IREMUS (program et talks).
