France owes a great deal to the Palazzetto Bru Zane (a centre devoted to French music of the Romantic period, founded in 2009). It has brought forgotten French music back to life thanks to its research and publications and without it, we wouldn’t have known that many talented composers even existed aside from the likes of Berlioz, Debussy and Ravel. This new monographic volume of the “Portraits” series includes chamber, choral and symphonic music from Fernand de La Tombelle (1854-1928), a Parisian composer and organist who was involved in the founding of the Schola Cantorum de Paris, along with Vincent d’Indy. He is known for his extensive repertoire that covers all genres with the exception of opera. Aside from being a well-educated aristocrat originating from the Thiérache region of France on his father’s side and the Dordogne region on his mother’s side, La Tombelle was also a humanist who was passionate about poetry, folklore, photography and astronomy.
The enthusiastic conductor for orchestra and choir, Hervé Niquet, is fully committed to doing justice to such unearthed works. Acting as guest conductor of the fantastic Brussels Philharmonic, he can be credited with the tense and dramatic renditions found in the first part of the album of Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra (Hannes Minnaar on piano), a work which was inspired by Liszt and Saint-Saëns, as well as two Orchestral Suites, Impressions matinales and Livre d’images, in a style that was first developed by Jules Massenet.
The second volume is devoted to chamber music and boasts an astonishing Sonata for three Cellos (François Salque, Hermine Horiot and Adrien Bellom) which brings to mind Fauré (Andantino) and Edvard Grieg’s most esteemed masterpiece, Peer Gynt (Lento). The portrait also includes Piano Quartet (I Giardini) and Cello Sonata (Emmanuelle Bertrand and Pascal Amoyel), as well some additional works (Yann Beuron and Jeff Cohen) and choral pieces (Flemish Radio Choir). Further proof of the great abundance and diversity of French works. © François Hudry/Qobuz
Gifted with a strong temperament and a curious nature, Fernand de La Tombelle is a highly appealing and interesting figure among French Romantic composers. He left a substantial œuvre, protean, stylistically eclectic, even atypical, that deserves reassessment not only for its own merits, but also because it illustrates a certain form of social and artistic activity in France at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This new albul in the Palazzetto Bru Zane’s ‘Portraits’ series reveals the multiple facets of a captivating personality, ranging from orchestral music with operatic overtones through introspective chamber works to choral music recalling the Renaissance madrigal. The sublime Fantaisie for piano and orchestra would suffice on its own to demonstrate the quality of La Tombelle’s inspiration. To champion his cause as it deserves, this set calls on no fewer than fourteen soloists, along with orchestra, chorus and conductor. © Palazzetto Bru Zane
