Classicheggiando (e non) (2)

Derrière des aspects simples et répétitifs se cachent une poésie, une ironie et une modernité propres à Erik Satie. Originellement écrites pour piano, Gioco Duo vous livre sa version pour clarinette et accordéon.

Erik Satie (1866-1925), Première Gymnopédie, "lent et douloureux"

SALES TEXT
Cellist Beatriz Blanco and pianist Federico Bosco follow the success of their first Odradek album with Of Love and War, a sumptuous programme of music by Nadia Boulanger, Richard Strauss, Debussy, Webern, Hindemith and Fauré, featuring mezzo-soprano Solenn’ Lavanant-Linke.

Of Love and War, partly inspired by Eduardo Galeano’s novel Days and Nights of Love and War, draws parallels between the isolation and pent-up passions of wartime and the experiences of the current pandemic. Much of this repertoire was composed around the time of the First World War, but also embraces broader themes of beginnings and endings, night and day, love and loss. 

Nadia Boulanger is celebrated as a teacher of great composers, but was a composer in her own right; her Three Pieces occupy a similar soundworld to that of Debussy, whose Cello Sonata is at the heart of the programme, and Fauré, whose song Les berceaux we hear in an arrangement for cello and piano. There are works by Webern that show us ‘before and after’ his early lessons with Schoenberg: the Zwei Stücke für Cello und Klavier of 1899, written when Webern was only 16, and the Drei Kleine Stücke, Op. 11 and Cello Sonata, both dating from 1914. The album discovers a softer side to Hindemith in his richly Romantic Three Pieces, Op. 8, and the whole recital is framed by glorious songs by Strauss and Debussy, performed by Solenn’ Lavanant-Linke.

Morten Lauridsen — O magnum mysterium

Album release: February 2017

The violinist Chiara Zanisi works with the finest early music ensembles, notably the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra under Ton Koopman, with whom she has just finished a long tour performing the Six Brandenburg Concertos. She now devotes her first solo recording to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Sonatas for Harpsichord and Violin. Alongside her is Giulia Nuti, among the most brilliant harpsichordists and scholars in Italy, whose solo CD Les Sauvages: Harpsichords in pre-Revolutionary Paris (DHM) won a Diapason d’Or, among other awards. The kernel from which this project grew is their strongly shared idea that, in addition to great stylistic richness and invention, Bach’s music possesses an aura of magic and an almost divine form. Thus, in this valuable and elegant reading, it is clearly their intention to underline in the simplest way the grandeur of the writing. Even the choice of sound aesthetic, beautifully realised under the supervision of Fabio Framba, opts for the ‘real’ with a ‘pure’, ‘speaking’ sound, warm and full of harmonics. The attractions of this precious version of the Six Sonatas, played on a G. Gagliano violin of 1761 and a harpsichord by K. Hill, are enhanced by a bonus track: the Cantabile, un poco Adagio from the early version of Sonata VI in G major.

Sortie en février 2017

La violoniste Chiara Zanisi travaille avec les principaux ensemble de musique de chambre, et notamment l’Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra de Ton Koopman, avec lequel elle vient d’achever une longue tournée avec les six Concertos brandebourgeois. Elle consacre aujourd’hui son premier enregistrement solo aux six sonates pour clavecin et violon de Johann Sebastian Bach. À ses côtés, Giulia Nuti, l’une des clavecinistes et chercheuses italiennes les plus brillantes, dont le CD Les Sauvages: Harpsichords in pre-Revolutionary Paris (DHM) a notamment remporté un Diapason d’or. Leur projet s’est développé à partir de l’idée largement admise que, outre une richesse stylistique et une invention importantes, la musique de Bach possède une aura magique et une forme presque divine. Leur intention est de souligner de la manière la plus simple, par leur lecture précise et élégante, la grandeur de l’écriture. Même le choix de l’esthétique sonore, magnifiquement réalisée sous la supervision de Fabio Framba, opte pour le « réel », avec un son « pur », « parlant », chaud et plein d’harmoniques. Les attraits de cette précieuse version des Six Sonates, jouées sur un violon de G. Gagliano (1761) et un clavecin de K. Hill, sont encore renforcés par la présence d’une plage supplémentaire : le Cantabile, un poco Adagio de la première version de la Sonate VI en sol majeur.
