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

C.P.E Bach: Concerto pour piano, cordes et basse continue en ré mineur

Christian Zacharias

Miscellaneous - Released April 17, 2020 | XXI Music

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was admired and often cited as an example by Haydyn, Mozart and Beethoven, but just like these three musicians he too struggled to find an audience for his music. As one of Johann Sebastian’s sons, he was a custodian of his father’s rather daunting legacy. The composer dates back to the beginning of the classical area but his music already seemed to show hints of romanticism. The very essence of his music and his originality has been considered as a “theatre of the soul” (Gilles Cantagrel) – the emotional staging of the music interspersed with surprises and sudden modulations, fiercely dynamic oppositions and silences sometimes heavy with anguish. Like all the artists of his time, Carl Philipp was a prolific composer and wrote nearly fifty concertos for the harpsichord, which was his favourite instrument, along with the clavichord on which he took great pleasure in improvising for hours at a time. Christian Zacharias is familiar with the composer and has already devoted several recordings to his work. For this concert in November 2019 with the Auvergne National Orchestra, who he conducts from behind his own instrument, he selected the Concerto in D minor, Wq. 23, H. 427. It is a piece which illustrates the innovativeness of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s style perfectly, particularly in the Poco Andante, whose expressive effusion prefigures Mozart’s greatest concertos. The extraordinary Rondo in C minor with its harmonic instability is featured as an encore and takes us to right to the edge of the abyss before leaving us there with its question-like inconclusive ending. A musical style that seemingly initiates and embodies the “Age of Sensibility” to which Hadyn and Mozart later greatly contributed. © 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
