Cela lui a pris des décennies avant de se sentir à l’aise avec ce compositeur. Aujourd’hui, il est confiant dans sa manière d’aborder ce répertoire et n’a plus d’états d’âme par rapport à ses partis pris d’interprétation. La musique de Chopin lui procure deux sentiments très forts. On y retrouve d’une part une lecture du sentiment amoureux. Cet aspect le passionne. Par ailleurs, son langage accélère le processus de communication entre l’artiste et le public.

Dans ce répertoire, on ne compte plus les versions de référence, mais l’artiste n’a pas cherché à se mesurer à cela et sa manière d’aborder ce compositeur est intègre, totalement sincère. Chopin représente un véritable défi mais Jean-Philippe Collard a identifié un style qui lui est propre.

Jean-Philippe Collard / Chopin - Sonate n°2 op. 35, « Marche funèbre » (extrait 1er mouvement)

BUXTEHUDE // "In dolci Jubilo"

Publiée originellement chez Calliope, l’intégrale Beethoven des Talich est rééditée dans un coffret de sept disques. Cette somme est celle des certitudes paisibles, d’un Beethoven ni visionnaire, ni vindicatif, plus humain plus que démiurge. Intime et posée, l’expression peut même en devenir trop prudente, cette tranquillité devenant même rédhibitoire dans les menuets, voire dans certains scherzos (Huitième). Tout emballement n’est pas exclu – codas du Quatrième ou du Neuvième – mais sans le moindre effet gratuit, tant le Quatuor Talich, d’une cohésion sans faille autour de son premier violon, Petr Messiereur (à l’intonation néanmoins parfois contestable), maîtrise le propos et maintient, de l’Opus 18 à l’Opus 135, une cohérence d’une rare fermeté.
Car voilà assurément un travail exigeant, qui, peut-être par atavisme, laisse souvent affleurer à la surface des sentiments plus tendres et qui trouve à s’épanouir de manière particulièrement impressionnante dans les derniers Quatuors.

13e Quatuor en si bémol majeur op.130 - Alla danza tedesca (Allegro assai)

BEETHOVEN - Quatuor à cordes n°13, op.130 (alla danza tedesca)

Major discoveries!
These three string quartets have much to offer in their charming melodies, strong rhythms, and pleasant moods. They deserve some critical attention as representative examples of early nineteenth century "brilliant" quartets, works composed for concert performance that usually featured a dazzling part for the first violin. 
The Talich Quartet delivers these bonbons with a light touch, and the engaging character of these pieces comes through in the group's agreeable repartee and buoyant energy, which is especially lively in the Scherzo movements. Sound is exceptional, so the strings feel vibrant and sharply defined in a warm and resonant environment.

KALLIWODA, String quartet no.1 in E minor, op.61

A lively yet sensitive, generously coupled disc
Here is a set of brilliant but not dazzling performances of Mendelssohn’s Op 44 Quartets: that is to say, they illuminate the music but never blind the listener with empty demonstration of the player’s virtuosity. This outstanding reissue offers terrific playing and outstanding sound. The interpretations are spontaneous enough to seem live.

“Typically feisty playing from this outstanding Czech Quartet who project the quasi-orchestral opening of the D major with vigour and provide plenty of passion and urgency for the darker E minor. An incredible bargain” (BBC Music Magazine)

MENDELSSOHN, String quartet no.3 in D major, op.44 no.1 (Molto allegro vivace)

FIRST RELEASE ON CD

Adagio and Fugue in c minor, K546
Divertimenti for strings K.136-138

‘With the Talich Quartet, this intimate Mozart sings and smiles, weeps and dreams, experiences despair and exhilaration. The Quartet’s unusually tense yet sensuous interpretation forces one’s admiration. Rarely has Mozart playing so judiciously achieved plenitude, displayed such joy and charm. Everything here is happiness and luminosity. A state of grace, as it were.’

탈리히 현악 사중주단은 쇼스타코비치에 관한 또 하나의 명반을 만들어냈다. 이들은 쇼스타코비치의 음울한 작품들을 날카로운 시선으로 읽어냈다. 현악 사중주와 피아노를 위한 오중주는 듣는 이의 정신을 사로 잡으면서도 몽롱한 분위기를 지니고 있다. 이들의 연주는 이 작품의 본질을 드러내는 사운드로, 곡의 면면을 잘 드러내고 있다. 듣는 이를 거의 환각에 사로잡히게 하는 지경의 탈리히 현악 사중주단의 연주는 아무도 예상치 못한 4차원의 환상 여행을 떠나게 해 준다. 

“쇼스타코비치의 현악 사중주 8번의 녹음을 통해서 탈리히 현악 사중주단은 음반사에 새로운 사건을 만들어 냈다. 탈리히 현악 사중주단의 연주는 우리를 마치 블랙홀 속으로 빠져들게 하는 듯하며, 이들이 우리를 안내하는 최종 목적지는 음악으로 인해 인도되는 어둠 속에서 완전히 해체되는 듯한 강렬한 감흥이다.” (클라시카)

Geoffroy Couteau continue à servir l’œuvre de Brahms, ici en compagnie du violoncelliste Raphaël Perraud, avec la ferveur qu’on lui a connu dans son intégrale pour piano parue au Printemps 2016.
Comme les trois sonates pour violon et piano, les deux sonates pour violoncelle et piano constituent des pages de première importance dans le corpus de Brahms. Puissamment lyriques, royaume de l’intériorité pure, elles fournissent un aperçu de sa période de jeunesse comme celle de sa grande maturité, voisine de sa quatrième et ultime symphonie. Sommets de la musique de chambre, ces Sonates d’une humanité protéiforme exigent de leurs interprètes autant de complémentarité que d’osmose.
Geoffroy Couteau et Raphaël Perraud imposent un équilibre savamment mûri. Douceur et emportement, mélancolie et frénésie, méditation et exaltation s’y côtoient en des inflexions d’une éloquente spontanéité. L’aspect fantastique de ce combat entre violoncelle et piano ne cesse de gagner en profondeur et en lyrisme au fil de ce programme.

BRAHMS, Cello Sonata no.1 in E minor, op.38 - Allegro non troppo

Creativity is not something that can be turned on and off like a tap . . . 
Art is a labour of love, a question of patience and concentration. To place demands on it, criteria, quotas, damages it, slowly kills it. Art, like nature, must be allowed to develop and to grow, in order to attain plenitude. Following this principle, La Dolce Volta prefers to privilege quality over quantity. Releases are limited to ten albums a year, but each of them is the fruit of in-depth work, and above all a special relationship between the soloist and the composer. The artists’ virtuosity is coupled with their ineffable and highly personal approach, a feeling that can only be expressed through music. 
And since jewels worthy of the name can only be offered in special cases, the albums La Dolce Volta releases are themselves works of art: each record cover is an original work of art; the digipack’s inner sleeve includes a booklet in four languages and an interview with the musician. A bandeau is wrapped around each album, on which is printed the name of the soloist, the name of the composer, and the work performed. 
For La Dolce Volta, music is not just a shrink-wrapped object for sale. Like all beautiful things in life, it must come to fruition naturally, the result of careful craftsmanship, and offered like an exquisite flower. 
For La Dolce Volta music is a question of elegance and beauty without concessions.
