By Choeur Ishango and Musiques Nouvelles. By Pierre Bartholomee. Classical. CD. Naxos #CYP4646. Published by Naxos (NX.CYP4646).

Pierre Bartholomee is a composer rooted in his time, inventive and keen to champion the responsibility of cultural figures (composers, performers, programmers, publishers, producers, etc.) towards music, our music, at the very heart of society. A man-orchestra, Pierre strives to bring together the multiple actors of a single project. His discography with Cypres reveals the intensity of his production as both conductor and composer. It is now sixty years that Pierre Bartholomee has been twenty: this birthday album gives me the opportunity of thanking this transmitter of memory, this man so keen to promote the creation of a peer. We have an indispensable archive, and there is homage to be paid. (Cedric Hustinx, Cypres Label) The compositions included on this release span Bartholomee's entire career, from "Rhizomes" composed in 1937, all the way to "Le Christ aux Oliviers," written in 2013.
