Field : Nocturnes

Florent Albrecht

Solo Piano - Released September 17, 2021 | HORTUS

Hi-Res Booklet
“Unprecedented” is the right word to sum up this album entirely devoted to John Field's Nocturnes. Unprecedented because it is the first recording by Florent Albrecht, an extra-terrestrial of the pianoforte, who trained late in life after a first career in the luxury goods industry. After graduating from the Conservatoire of Geneva in 2018 and laureate of the Royaumont Foundation the same year, the French pianist has already performed at the Paris Opera and the Juilliard School, among others. An unprecedented album, as it features the world premiere of Nocturne in B flat major, posthumous Op.142, a score exhumed from the shelves of the St Petersburg library by Florent Albrecht. For the occasion, Qobuz presents this original and enchanting album exclusively for five weeks.The nocturne, a form made popular by Chopin, emerged at a time in the history of music when technical improvements in keyboard instruments enabled them to rival the expressiveness of the human voice. We do not know if it is John Field's writing talent or Florent Albrecht's fluid and airy playing—it is probably a subtle mixture of the two—but we come away from listening being convinced that the piano is the sole instrument capable of expressing the emotions of the romantic soul. The musician opts for a phrasing that is both clear and supple, perfectly suited to his instrument (a Carlo Meglio from 1826), whose rounded and slightly trembling timbre, sometimes close to a cimbalom, acts like a soothing balm for the soul. A truly calming interlude. © Pierre Lamy/Qobuz

Charles Avison : Concerti Grossi after Scarlatti

Concerto Köln

Chamber Music - Released October 2, 2015 | Berlin Classics

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Diapason d'or - 4 étoiles Classica
The music on this album takes a little bit of explanation that the words "Concerti Grossi After Scarlatti" does not fully supply. These are not really arrangements or orchestrations of keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, even though they are sometimes described that way. Instead, as the booklet notes by Kai-Hinrich Müller put it here, this "is music by Avison and Scarlatti simultaneously" (or at least, one might say, sequentially). The basic source material is the set of Essercizii (Exercises) published by Scarlatti in England in 1739. These were among the few sonatas of Scarlatti that were internationally known during the composer's lifetime; Charles Burney remarked that "everyone played, or at least tried to play, Scarlatti's Essercizii." Enter English composer Charles Avison, who attempted to fill an obvious market niche by arranging them for a small orchestra. The keyboard pieces contain basically Italianate material, with loud-soft contrasts and registral blocks; there is no question of trying to orchestrate some of the wilder harmonic experiments or Spanish effects of some of Scarlatti's sonatas. But they are not "concertos" for keyboard, and there are not enough slow ones to make up three-movement concertos. Avison reworked the melodic material into orchestral-suitable shapes, pulled in material from other sonatas (some of them unknown), and may have written some slow movements to match outer-movement pairs. In short, what you hear is sort of an adaptation of Scarlatti, and in places almost a fantasy. You could just listen to concertos by Vivaldi or Sammartini instead, but the whole thing is sufficiently unusual to be interesting in itself, and the veteran Concerto Köln delivers lively, idiomatic performances. Recommended for Baroque enthusiasts.© TiVo
