About
In their touching simplicity, some of Germaine Tailleferre's pieces are reminiscent of nursery rhymes. Poems by the surrealist Jean Tardieu are perfect for the association with children's counting songs. Tailleferre also likes to use polytonal harmonies - sometimes the piano moves into harmonic realms where the voice does not follow suit. This is especially pronounced in "Vrai Dieu" from the Six Chansons françaises. And there is also a curious Vocalise-Etude which leaves the listener with many a question mark...
Songs by Tailleferre are actually quite rare, in contrast to the extensive oeuvre of her "Groupe des Six" colleagues. Moreover, many of her pieces listed in catalogues or mentioned in letters have been lost and can no longer be performed. Falk and Schleiermacher have therefore supplemented mélodies and chansons by the original Frenchwoman with songs from the vast collection that Darius Milhaud left to posterity.
The Six Chants populaires hébraïques by Darius Milhaud, who saw himself deeply rooted in Judaism, are brimming with an almost archaic power. In contrast to the enchantingly fragrant miniatures Catalogue des fleurs, the Hebrew songs get to the heart of the existential relationship between the vulnerable human being and their omnipotent Creator.
