MARIN MARAIS: PIECES DE VIOLE - LIVRE I

APARTE

Available as CD

$36.99

Dec 17, 2021

Marin Marais is one of the most important figures of the French baroque. At once a virtuoso on the viola da gamba, a composer and a teacher, Marais left behind a varied body of work that displays strikingly abundant inspiration. Five books of viol music punctuated his life. Published between 1686 and 1723, these collections for solo and accompanied viol not only offer a remarkable synthesis of the practices of the time, but they also bear witness to the development of the instrument. Marais's frequently intimate music, a far cry from courtly splendors, calls up an imaginary world of light and shadow. Atsushi Sakai has launched a series of recordings of this unique collection of pieces. This album, the first, is devoted to Book I, a transitional work that confirms the refinement of the "style fran�ois". Viola da gambist Marion Martineau and harpsichordist Christophe Rousset join Atsushi Sakai on this adventure, recreating the trio that stood out so brilliantly in their Forqueray and Couperin albums.

BRAHMS: PIANO CONCERTO NO.1

HARMONIA MUNDI

Aug 27, 2021

With his First Concerto, the young Brahms set his own course in the wake of Beethoven and Schumann and at the same time poured forth his personal emotions in this work of impressive dimensions. Russian soloist, Alexander Melnikov, has chosen an instrument contemporary with the premiere, a magnificent Bl�thner piano from 1859, a perfect match for the Sinfonieorchester Basel under it's British conductor Ivor Bolton. In addition to Brahms's Tragic Overture, the program also includes the much rarer Overture to �liza, an opera by Cherubini, a composer whom Brahms greatly admired.

BACH & BROUWER: CANCIONES

APARTE

Available as CD

$20.49

Nov 12, 2021

The curiosity of the countertenor Andreas Scholl, one of the most recognized opera singers, is well known, with his taste for rare and precious musical items. We find him here with the lute player Edin Karamazov in the embodiment of an encounter between Havana and Leipzig, between contemporary Cuba and baroque Germany. Navigating from the one to the other, the two musicians weave the fabric of a musical reverie in which Johann Sebastian Bach walks alongside the Cuban master Leo Brouwer, whose crossover works draw at once from folklore, creole roots, dance and the scholarly European tradition. These works marvelously echo the chorales, the Cello Suite and the English Folk Songs, arranged here by Brouwer himself, and dedicated to the duet. The poetic, intimate instrumentation, with an utterly limpid lute and the velvet tone-color of Andreas Scholl, becomes the delicate setting for the hushed, modest expression of the different faces of love.

LE MANUSCRIT DE MADAME THEOBON

APARTE

Available as CD

$28.99

Feb 25, 2022

This manuscript, from Christophe Rousset's private collection, was discovered by him in 2004. Dedicated to a Madame de Th�obon, it contains not only the essential French harpsichord pieces of the late seventeenth century, but also many transcriptions of compositions by Lully and several hitherto completely unknown preludes. Providing precious insight into the art of the harpsichordist and the musical practices of that time, these pieces are recorded here for the first time. With it's powerful but still austere sound, the Nicolas Dumont harpsichord of 1704 does them full justice.

Written at the request of Louis XIV in honor of his sister-in-law, Henrietta of England, Lully's Le Ballet royal de la naissance de Vénus was performed in 1665 with Henrietta herself as the goddess of love and youth. This grandiose spectacle combining dancing, music and poetry, served the power of the king, while attesting to the magnificence of his court. Musically very inventive, it shows the culmination of the ballet genre. The recording, from Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques is completed by excerpts from Les Amours déguisés, Psyché, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Le Carnaval.

Orchestre de Paris/Klaus Makela -"Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique; Ravel: La valse". Klaus Makela conducts France's premier orchestra in two classic showpieces: Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique and Ravel's La valse. "Makela is a star, no doubt, and the proof of it is that he makes his players look and sound like stars, too," wrote The Guardian about the BBC Proms performance of the Berlioz in 2024, shortly before this recording was made. This is music which belongs to the Orchestre de Paris like no other: Makela's recordings follow famous predecessors from Charles Munch, Herbert Von Karajan and Daniel Barenboim. "In taking these momentous scores back to their Parisian roots Klaus Makela engages his keen ears and sense of orchestral drama to hear and to project their startling innovation." - Gramophone on Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps and Firebird with the Orchestre de Paris.
