Marion Frère’s Originelles is a true journey, where the cello travels across centuries and musical forms, guided by the inspiring voices of women composers – from Hildegard von Bingen to Marthe Bracquemond, with Rita Strohl and Marguerite Canal along the way.

From solo cello to sextet, via a duo with piano, a dialogue with bass clarinet, and a string quartet, each musical world sparks the imagination. One of the album’s original features is that it follows not a chronological path – from the 12th to the 21st century – but a sonic progression, moving from the most intimate to the collective. Colours, textures, scents and sensations intertwine in this synesthetic journey where the invisible becomes music.

A vibrant tribute to feminine creative power – discreet yet forceful, timeless and universal.
