Camille Thomas – Ravel: Deux mélodies hébraïques, 1. Kaddisch (Transcr. Tognetti)

Cellist Camille Thomas celebrates the human resilience on 'Voice of Hope', her newest Deutsche Grammophon recording. Her selection of music mirrors her desire to move people through compositions that express a sense of peace and love. The album opens with violinist Richard Tognetti’s transcription for cello and orchestra of Maurice Ravel’s “Kaddisch”. “I’ve always been fascinated by the raw, physical emotion that a voice can convey, and it goes far beyond any form of intellectual comprehension,” comments Camille Thomas. “With each note I produce on my instrument, I have always tried to reproduce a voice, one that sings, talks, murmurs… a voice that shouts and loves.” CELLO Camille Thomas CONDUCTOR Mathieu Herzog Brussels Philharmonic
