Vivaldi

Les Violons du Roy

Classical - Released March 1, 2016 | ATMA Classique

Hi-Res Booklet
This album from the Quebec City Baroque group Les Violons du Roy is titled simply Vivaldi. You don't get quite the range implied; the program consists mostly of concertos with one instrumental sinfonia from an opera. But it is a delightfully diverse set, including big Handelian outdoor-oriented pieces with horns; pastoral concertos for multiple winds; and intricate, multiple-violin pieces including a lithe reading of the familiar Concerto for four violins, strings, and continuo, Op. 3, No. 10 (RV 580). Les Violons du Roy, under their longtime assistant conductor Mathieu Lussier, eschew the high-octane approach of contemporary Italian groups, and one can wish for the syncopations to rock a bit more when they are essential to the structure of a movement. But the group is quick and holds together well. Sample the little-played, three-movement Sinfonia from the opera La verità in cimento (tracks 17-19): the opening movement is a study in register and dynamics of which the total serialists would have been proud; the slow movement opens like a flower; and the miniature finale is over before you know it. The orchestra's energy never flags here or anywhere else, and the result is a very fresh album of Vivaldi concertos that will appeal even to those with lots of shelf or hard drive space already allotted to the composer.© TiVo

Théodore Gouvy (Portraits I) : Œuvres symphoniques...

Christian Arming

Classical - Released January 27, 2014 | Bru Zane

Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason
The time has finally come for the Lorraine composer Théodore Gouvy, even if he still remains largely unknown to the public at large. Nicknamed "The French Mendelssohn" by musicologist Alexandre Dratwicki, the artistic director of the Bru Zane Foundation behind this release, Gouvy is the typical romantic musician at the crossroads of France and Germany, rocked by the vagaries of European history. Released in 2013, this album is an excellent introduction to the music of Théodore Gouvy with symphonic, vocal and chamber music pieces. Influenced by Ambroise Thomas and Camille Saint-Saëns, the composer from Moselle unfolds a wealth of beauty through these pages which owe much to Mendelssohn's melodic sense as well as to Schumann's dramatism. A European at heart, Gouvy lived in Berlin, Paris and Italy, where he befriended Rossini, whom he later met in Paris. Deeply wounded in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, he turned increasingly to religious music, which opened new horizons for him. His dual culture is noticeable throughout all the recordings offered here. His scientific approach to timbre and melodic sensitivity allow him to create a particularly successful synthesis of the different styles of his time. It is an exciting route that we follow here, from his very detached and dapper Sinfonietta to his Fifth Quartet in C minor. High-class performances. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Rameau & Couperin: Pièces pour clavier

Clément Lefebvre

Classical - Released May 18, 2018 | Evidence (LTR)

Hi-Res Booklet
For his first record, the young French pianist Clément Lefebvre has selected Couperin and Rameau, whom he presents here in the very original form of an expressive journey through a single day, from morning to night. On the way, Lefebvre moves from one composer to another and playing on their suggestive titles, he underlines what unites and divides them with a subtle intelligence. Clément Lefebvre showed a keen interest in music from a young age. He started playing piano at the age of four, before discovering percussion. After studies and winning prizes in these two instruments at the Conservatoire de Lille, he decided to concentrate fully on the piano. Hortense Cartier-Bresson taught him at the Conservatoire de Boulogne-Billancourt and prepared him for the entrance competition for the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMD). Clément Lefebvre entered the prestigious institution in 2010 and learned with Roger Muraro, Isabelle Dubuis, Claire Désert, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, and Alain Planès. He also received masterclasses from Philippe Bianconi, Xu Zhong, Michael Lewin, Christian Ivaldi, Emmanuel Strosser as well as from members of the Wanderer Trio. Clément Lefebvre won the First Prize and the Audience Prize at the 2016 James Mottram international piano competition in Manchester. A soloist, he also enjoys chamber music, whether with the Alban Berg Piano Quartet which he founded with a few friends, or as part of a duet with pianist Alexandre Leroy. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Joseph Haydn : Cello Concertos

Freiburger Barockorchester

Cello Concertos - Released March 27, 2003 | harmonia mundi

Booklet Distinctions Choc de Classica
This admirable Harmonia Mundi release presents Franz Josef Haydn's two cello concertos and the Cello Concerto in G minor by Georg Matthias Monn with the luster of period instruments; refined, idiomatic playing; and exceptional sound quality, with full resonance; and cellist Jean-Guihan Queyras and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, directed by Petra Müllejans, render these works with exquisite details and emotional depth. In a real sense, their performances are acts of rediscovery, for Haydn's cello concertos have become routine fare from too many modern renditions, and Monn's piece is unfamiliar from too few performances. Indeed, all three concertos have suffered the vagaries of preservation and interpretation. Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major was once considered lost until its discovery in 1961; the Cello Concerto No. 2 in D major suffered false attribution and its authorship was debated until the appearance of the manuscript in 1954; and Monn's concerto survived only in an arrangement for harpsichord and strings until Arnold Schoenberg edited it in 1912. To set the record straight, this disc presents the concertos intelligently refurbished, with appropriate eighteenth century style and color. Through their insightful scholarship and sensitive performances, Queyras and Müllejans have produced a fine alternative to the less authentic mainstream recordings.© TiVo
