The Tregorrois singer Marthe Vassalo and the violinist singer Emmanuelle Bouthillier offer, this Wednesday, December 6, at 7 p.m., in the auditorium of the Lannion conservatory, an original concert. For them, it is a question of introducing the public to their work on the Breton repertoire resulting from the collection.
Marthe Vassalo explains the process: “We each have half a dozen songs, which can come from transcriptions on scores, or from recordings, sometimes made in a kitchen or a concert. With this concert we show what we do with these versions. What we change or not. »
Tradition and creation
From one piece to another, the approach can be different, explains the singer who will perform songs in Breton, when her colleague sings in French: “We are going to present different cases. The time when we drown in a bunch of versions, which forces us to make choices. Conversely, it happens that we only have a recording, and we say to ourselves that there is no research to be done, that it is just a matter of being as close as possible to the ‘original. »
One might expect a purist approach. For Marthe Vassalo, this is not the case: “Working on collection is a school of freedom. When we return to the sources, we realize the freedom that reigns there. The same singers do not sing the same way at home or on stage, alone or accompanied. There is great diversity from one version to another by the same performer. »
The concert will be filmed as part of the filming of a documentary produced for the 50th anniversary of the Dastum collection association.
