With "Seigneur", Roberto Alagna delivers an album imbued with spirituality. Between faith, love and hope, the tenor pays a highly personal tribute to the immense cathedral of lyric art to which he regularly adds his stone.
Born of a desire for sharing and communion, extending a tour specially designed for churches and cathedrals, the recording presents a particularly original repertoire: mixing religious pieces with a selection of French and Italian songs of sacred inspiration, it combines music full of feeling, emotion and vitality. Through songs that speak to the soul - from Schubert's and Bach-Gounod's Ave Maria to the traditional "Fenesta che luciva" and "Bella Ciao", from Léo Ferré's "Avec le temps" to "La Valse de l'Espérance", not forgetting landmark recreations such as "Seigneur, ne me laisse pas" and "Madone au cœur d'or" - Roberto Alagna reveals himself and transports us.
"Seigneur" is also the album of an artistic connection, where all the spontaneity of the passionate trio formed by Roberto Alagna and his two accomplices, guitarist and songwriter Jean-Félix Lalanne and pianist Marek Ruszczyński, shines through. With palpable joy, the three are back in the studio but recording entirely under live conditions. In all simplicity, they deliver a concentration of emotions and commune with beauty.

Avec “Seigneur”, Roberto Alagna livre un disque empreint de spiritualité. Entre foi, amour et espérance, le ténor y rend un hommage des plus personnels à l’immense cathédrale de l’art lyrique à laquelle il ajoute régulièrement sa pierre.
Né d’un désir de partage et de communion, prolongeant un tour de chant spécialement conçu pour les églises et cathédrales, l’enregistrement présente un répertoire particulièrement original : mêlant des pièces religieuses à une sélection de chansons françaises et italiennes d’inspiration sacrée, il conjugue une musique pétrie de sentiments, d’émotions et de vitalité. Au fil de titres qui, chacun, parlent à l’âme –des Ave Maria de Schubert et Bach-Gounod aux traditionnels "Fenesta che luciva" ou "Bella Ciao", d' "Avec le temps" de Léo Ferré à "La Valse de l’Espérance", sans oublier les recréations phares telles "Seigneur, ne me laisse pas" ou "Madone au cœur d’or", Roberto Alagna se dévoile et nous transporte.
“Seigneur” est également l’album d’une connexion artistique, où transparaît toute la spontanéité du trio passionné que forment Roberto Alagna et ses deux complices, le guitariste, auteur-compositeur Jean-Félix Lalanne et le pianiste Marek Ruszczyński. Avec un bonheur palpable, tous trois se retrouvent ici en studio mais enregistrent entièrement dans les conditions d’un « live ». En toute simplicité voire intimité, ils délivrent un concentré d’émotions et communient avec la beauté.
