Marin Marais: Folies d'Espagne, La Rêveuse & Other Works

Jean-Guihen Queyras

Duets - Released January 27, 2023 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
It is hard to shake the feeling that Alexandre Tharaud and Jean-Guihen Queyras are committing a radical crime of lèse-majesté here. However, this is soon forgotten after you hear the first bars of their new album. They are understandably enthralled with Marin Marais’ fabulous music, and have thus decided to put their own spin on it by transcribing it for their own instruments: a modern piano and cello.This joyful transgression is in keeping with the interpretations from the beginning of the last century, when Fritz Kreisler and his peers were not afraid to play—or even pastiche—the music they loved without any concern for historical accuracy. These two musicians, on the other hand, are ‘historically informed’. They’ve listened to Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Jordi Savall, Ton Koopman and Hopkinson Smith whilst recreating Marin Marais’ music in their own way, adapting it to instruments that would have been unknown to him.Under their nimble fingers, ‘Les Folies d’Espagne’ becomes a frantic dance, ‘Le Badinage’ sounds like something straight out of a Watteau painting, and ‘Opération de la taille’ is almost humorous. Here, Alexandre Tharaud and Jean-Guihen Queyras share their love for subtle and refined music, speaking to listeners on a level that goes beyond that of a mere reconstruction. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Live At 25

Huey Lewis And The News

Pop - Released May 17, 2005 | Rhino

Looking at the cover of Huey Lewis & the News' Live at 25, it's hard not to think, "Wow! I had no idea that the News had 25 members!" Of course, the middle-aged men crowding the cover of this 2005 release number a mere nine, which means the one-time sextet has been expanded with a full horn section (original guitarist Chris Hayes has been replaced by Stef Burns and bassist Mario Cipollina has been replaced by John Pierce, as well). New members and a horn section don't change the basic nature of the band, which hasn't changed since the beginning of its career -- no matter what they do, Huey Lewis & the News are a good-time, good-natured, unabashedly fun party band. That served them well at the height of their fame in the mid-'80s, and it serves them well 20 years later, as they do those big hits -- "The Heart of Rock & Roll," "I Want a New Drug," "If This Is It," "Do You Believe in Love," "Hip to Be Square" (subtly changed to "(Too) Hip to Be Square," although the lyrics haven't been altered) -- balanced with covers and newer tunes that sound as if they could have been good album tracks on Picture This. Although the liner notes don't mention the date or location of the recording of Live at 25, the specifics don't really matter since the album is designed to be less a historical document than a nostalgic souvenir for longtime fans, capturing the group at a quarter-century mark. In that respect, it works well: the song selection is good, the band sounds tight and professional, the production is clean and punchy, and while it's never especially engaging, it is an enjoyable performance. Not essential, and certainly not nearly as energetic as the original LPs, Live at 25 is warm, friendly, and fun nonetheless, a perfectly respectable way to celebrate the group's anniversary.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo

Sans titre #7

Grems

Hip-Hop/Rap - Released January 19, 2018 | Gremsindustry

There is the surface of the earth. And there is what lies beneath. That is, the underground... For years, Michaël Eveno alias Grems has been busying himself in this no-man's-land that is bubbling with ideas and sounds. His furious, crazy hip-hop projects are unlike any others. The DNA is rap, but strident notes of electro also dot the landscape. Without this style, Hyacinthe, Roméo Elvis or Lomepal would surely never have moved past playing with their Playmobil… With Sans Titre #7, the writer of Algèbre (2004), Airmax (2006), Vampire (2013), Buffy (2014) and Green Pisse (2016) consistently threw out more and more of that madness that only he can produce. The punchlines are impressive, and the minimalism of the production avoids unnecessary ornament. In short, in the year that he turns 40, Grems has imposed his deviant and mordant style even more firmly upon Gallic rap. © MZ/Qobuz

Les Temps Modernes

Hk & Les Saltimbanks

Alternative & Indie - Released May 21, 2012 | BLUE LINE

Fusing blues, chaabi, and reggae with tales of social inequality and exclusion, Les Temps Modernes is the second album from MAP rapper Kaddour Haddadi, aka HK, and the collective self-described as the "little brother of Zebda," Les Saltimbanks. Named after the 1936 Charlie Chaplin film, the follow-up to 2011's Citoyen du Monde includes collaborations with chanteuses from Algeria (Souad Massi), Brazil (Flavia Coelho), and France (Karimouche), as well as the single, "Toute Mon Vie" and a unique interpretation of Jacques Brel's "Amsterdam." © Jon O'Brien /TiVo

Massenet: Thaïs

Sir Andrew Davis

Opera - Released June 1, 2020 | Chandos

Hi-Res Booklet
This new recording of Massenet’s opera was recorded by Chandos during rehearsals and two concerts at Toronto’s Thomson Hall in November 2019, making the work feel like a great oratorio bathed in the sensuality of orchestral music. Known around the world for his Méditation with solo violin, which was used in the heyday of bandstands and orchestras in large hotels and fashionable spas, Thaïs is rarely played today. There are no arias "à l'italienne" in this opera, but instead it’s full of long dramatic passages that would inspire Debussy to compose Pelléas eight years later. The protagonists of this new recording are without a doubt the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, whose conductor Sir Andrew Davis makes use of all their sonic and expressive resources, leaving the soloists somewhat sidelined in terms of sound balance. A special mention goes to the beautiful sound and intense expression that avoids any mawkishness of the concertmaster Jonathan Crow in the famous Méditation, which is in fact a simple interlude at the heart of the Act I.. This orientalising story about the conflict between paganism and Christianity in Alexandria in the fourth century is told by the baritone Joshua Hopkins with his powerful timbre in the role of Athanael, battling with the soprano Erin Wall as an exemplary Thai, and the tenor Andrew Staples, beautifully playing the role of Nicias, Athanael’s rich friend. The rest of the cast is of the same calibre. Sir Andrew Davis knows this work very well having directed it on several occasions, notably at the Edinburgh and Melbourne Festivals with the same Erin Wall in Thaïs, who he calls "the Thaïs of one’s dreams". © François Hudry/Qobuz
