It has left any piece for solo instrument and orchestra having the effrontery to call itself anything other than concerto in the wasteland. Such pieces now have a life on CD alone except for the rarest concert exceptions and competitions (and then usually in a version with piano). So be it. Though it is strange that when the public is more easily captivated by the 3 minute sound-byte that these shorter pieces are not more popular in concert.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e These bon-bons are dispatched with affectionate zest by Rosand who plays them for every subtle turn and dexterous twist and every gramme of neon excitement. He is in total rapport with his orchestra and conductor. The recordings are all excellent given their twenty years worn lightly except for the harsh Berliox Reverie et Caprice.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The Northern sun and moon play in brilliantly poetic limelight over the Sibelius Humoresques. I learnt these utterly lovable pieces from this recording when it was issued with a recording of Nielsen's Symphony No. 6 on Turnabout LP. These are the distilled quintessence of Sibelian temperament - romance in all its cool lunar intensity. The benign Tchaikovsky Serenade is done with meditative reserve. The brash edge on the solo violin in the Berlioz piece compromises what is otherwise a sentimentally doleful performance. The Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso has been well done by many violinists (Ulf Hoelscher is one of my favourite recordings - EMI). Rosand turns in an exotic performance - accented balletically and not short on crackling energy bursts. In the case of the rather revolutionary Chausson Poème I have recently heard the Vadim Repin version on Teldec and prefer the richer air brought about through the plusher modern EMI recording. The Chausson is a terribly neglected work forward-looking, meditative, with touches of Delius. Hearing the Rosand again I am torn. Rosand seems to put his all into this music and it pays in dividends of eloquence. The Ravel Tzigane I first heard during the early 1970s on a Philips Universo LP played by Arthur Grumiaux - a most affecting performance more effective, I thought, in its fanciful introspection than in the flyaway acrobatics. Rosand is good in both.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The second disc breaks the mould by including a work which calls itself 'concerto'. Saint-Saens' Third is a true warhorse having been much recorded by all and sundry amongst the violinistic brethren. The three Saint-Saens concertos have charm, Beethovenian gravitas (from the violin concerto, that is) and some flashy witchery but they lack the exoticism of the Caprice Andalou (would that Rosand would tackle that work!), the Havanaise, and the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. Rosand matches the requirements of this work most beautifully but I do not find this concerto the most involving of pieces at the best of times lacking the very melodic distinction that marks out his second piano concerto and third symphony. It always strikes me as a work that is going through the romantic motions.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The Havanaise is a different matter altogether and while I have fond memories and great affection for the Leonid Kogan version Rosand is all quiet grace, restful smiles, sprinting brilliance, sparks flying everywhere. Next time Class Fm (or its equivalent elsewhere ) wants to try a soupçon of soothing music which has true character they should reach for this track. A recording and performance to count alongside the best. You will want to play it again and again.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e From Havanaise it is a natural progression to move to Lalo's once ubiquitous Symphonie Espagnole. With its glaring Brahmsianisms, stock Spanishry, deep reserve of charm and mercurial mood changes it is a work still capable with small effort of winning friends. I wonder what would have happened if Lalo had just called it a concerto. By the way the Rhapsodie Norvégienne is also well worth seeking out. I remember it being coupled with the Martinon recording of the Namouna suites and making quite a splash. The Repin on Teldec is a richer recording but for the same price you can have Rosand and almost three times as much music as the Teldec offers.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e There is some stunning playing on offer here: stunning both in the depths of expression and in spark-striking pyrotechnics.

In August 2000 the producers of Cypres were the first to offer her a recital with the pianist Daniel Blumenthal. Programmed was nothing less than Les Nuits d'été, the Wesendonck and the Rückert-lieder - three cycles of lieder counted among the most intense of the repertory. The calm trembling of the contralto in Berlioz, its poignant dignity in Mahler and its heightened expression in Wagner made this record into an undeniable commercial and artistic success. More than ten years have passed since; Marie-Nicole Lemieux today appears on the biggest stages in the world, and this \"historic\" record reminds us that even at the beginning of her career, the singer from Quebec was already the genius performer we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cyprés Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625606836458,"sku":"5412217086053","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2045350.jpg?v=1778325638"},{"product_id":"berlioz-overtures-yoav-talmi-san-diego-symphony-95177","title":"Berlioz: Overtures \/ Yoav Talmi, San Diego Symphony","description":"BERLIOZ: Overtures","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625606705386,"sku":"730099599924","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/127088.jpg?v=1778341273"},{"product_id":"berlioz-romeo-et-juliette-les-troyens-two-234421","title":"Berlioz: Romeo et Juliette, Les Troyens: Two Scenes \/ Talmi","description":"BERLIOZ: Romeo et Juliette \/ Les Troyens a Carthage","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625606639850,"sku":"730099419529","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/127222.jpg?v=1778346419"},{"product_id":"bizet-larlesienne-carmen-suites-bramall-slovak-po-225622","title":"Bizet: L'arlésienne, Carmen - Suites \/ Bramall, Slovak Po","description":"BIZET: Carmen Suites Nos. 1 and 2 \/ L'arlesienne Suites Nos.","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625598644458,"sku":"730099506120","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/126513.jpg?v=1778345829"},{"product_id":"bizet-symphony-in-c-jeux-denfants-95228","title":"Bizet: Symphony In C - Jeux D'enfants","description":"BIZET: Symphony in C Major \/ Jeux d'enfants","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625598447850,"sku":"730099402729","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/127127.jpg?v=1778346981"},{"product_id":"merry-christmas-chicago-brass-quintet-116627","title":"Merry Christmas \/ Chicago Brass Quintet","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Centaur Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44625170530538,"sku":"044747203720","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2243292.jpg?v=1778382682"},{"product_id":"the-best-of-berlioz-234764","title":"The Best Of Berlioz","description":"Way ahead of his time, misunderstood, and a rebel. It is difficult to believe, as we hail Beethoven's achievements, that the great German composer had only been dead three years when Berlioz wrote the erotic Symphonie Fantastique. It was not progress, it was a quantum leap forward for music. Yet he was often shunned, the size and scope of such operas as The Trojans totally alien to those who were still trying to come to terms with the comparative conservatism of Beethoven's Fidelio. Just imagine Brahms was not yet born! This disc is the ideal way to appreciate just how great and significant was his music. From the boisterous Roman Carnival Overture, to the chilling March to the Scaffold, here is the very best of Berlioz. It is presented in outstanding performances, many from the partial cycle of Berlioz made for Naxos by the virtuoso orchestra from San Diego.

The French genre of opera-comique had arisen in the eighteenth century as a Gallic counterpart of the Italian opera buff, injecting an air of contemporary realism into operatic form. The success of operetta in the nineteenth century offered a challenge to the form, which retained the characteristic of the German Singspiel, spoken dialogue taking the place of the recitative of opera serial or French grand opera, but increasingly lacked power or conviction. Carmen, in it's original version with spoken dialogue, derived largely from Prosper M�rim�e's novel on which the opera was based. Created something of a scandal, and opened the way to a new form of opera. While nineteenth century French audiences at the Opera-Comique might find in Micaela a recognizable character, Carmen, a vicious outcast from decent society, was not the ideal heroine for popular family entertainment.","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44711393198314,"sku":"730099572729","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/126932.jpg?v=1778341067"},{"product_id":"william-primrose-collection-vol-1","title":"William Primrose Collection, Vol. 1","description":"William Primrose Collection, Vol. 1","brand":"Doremi","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44711577157866,"sku":"723723068927","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/242509.jpg?v=1778346109"},{"product_id":"les-bijoux-french-arias","title":"LES BIJOUX : FRENCH ARIAS","description":"Soprano Sumi Jo adds to an already impressive discography for Erato with this exciting set of arias by the great French Romantic composers, including the meltingly sensuous \"Depuis le jour\" from Charpentier's Louise and the rarely heard \"La valse d'Edwige\" from Offenbach's Robinson Crusoe.

He began his worldwide career as a concert organist playing the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, whose works for organ he would subsequently record in full three different times. Since then, he has been much in demand throughout the world as both organist and harpsichordist. As professor for organ in Geneva, Rogg teaches young organists from all over the world. More than forty of his students have been awarded the Prix de virtuosit�. Recently, Rogg has been devoting more time to composition. Following the devastating fire of 1984, as a member of a committee of experts, he decisively influenced the specification of the new van den Heuvel instrument in his native city's Victoria Hall. For Lionel Rogg it was particularly important that this concert-hall organ should be optimally configured for the specifics of it's surroundings, whether as an emancipated - orchestral - counterpart or as a solo instrument. The high tonal standard for the characteristic foundation stops (fonds) with wide mensuration and the powerful intonation of the reeds combined with the attention paid to the specification of the (low) mixtures, give the organ in Victoria Hall the desired symphonic, French character. The extensive battery of horizontal reeds and the pedal stops of 32' pitch (labial and lingual) make the four-manual instrument just as appropriate for the music of the founder of the symphonic organ music of France, C�sar Franck, as heard on this Organ-CD, as it is for the effective presentation of Liszt and Bizet transcriptions, with their virtuosically pianistic, even orchestral character. The booklet of this fifth CD of the Organ series contains liner notes in German, English, and French.","brand":"Wergo","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44712079884522,"sku":"4010228700527","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2895527.jpg?v=1778288365"},{"product_id":"meyerbeer-struensee-les-patineurs-etc-jurowski-et-70264","title":"Meyerbeer: Struensee, Les Patineurs, Etc \/ Jurowski, Et Al","description":"Classical Music","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44714288283882,"sku":"761203933624","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/226196.jpg?v=1778341995"},{"product_id":"prima-voce-highlights-1909-1946","title":"PRIMA VOCE HIGHLIGHTS (1909-1946)","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Nimbus","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44715792236778,"sku":"710357144622","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/281099.jpg?v=1778294952"},{"product_id":"meyerbeer-spohr-busoni-baermann-clarinet-quintets-orfeo","title":"Meyerbeer, Spohr, Busoni \u0026 Baermann: Clarinet Quintets","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Orfeo","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44715814256874,"sku":"4011790213125","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2056900.jpg?v=1778319629"},{"product_id":"il-mito-dellopera-georges-thill-recorded-1928-1933","title":"Il mito dell'opera: Georges Thill (Recorded 1928-1933)","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Bongiovanni","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44717463896298,"sku":"8007068114528","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2354042.jpg?v=1778305778"},{"product_id":"opera-arias-baritone-luca-giuseppe-de-cilea-f-mass","title":"Opera Arias (Baritone): Luca, Giuseppe de - CILEA, F. \/ MASS","description":"Classical Music","brand":"IDIS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44722330108138,"sku":"8021945000193","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2818143.jpg?v=1778288567"},{"product_id":"gigli-in-opera-songs","title":"GIGLI: IN OPERA \u0026 SONGS","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Nimbus","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44722601427178,"sku":"710357176326","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/208706_f2dd70a5-9154-4c2f-b9ff-b6f661146bd5.jpg?v=1778328068"},{"product_id":"shchedrin-r-carmen-suite-bizet-g-carmen-suite-no-1","title":"SHCHEDRIN, R.: Carmen Suite \/ BIZET, G.: Carmen Suite No. 1","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Delos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44722606047466,"sku":"013491320823","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/104420.jpg?v=1778284244"},{"product_id":"berlioz-benvenuto-cellini-les-troyens-symphonie-fantast","title":"BERLIOZ: Benvenuto Cellini \/ Les Troyens \/ Symphonie fantast","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Music and Arts Programs of America","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44722765758698,"sku":"017685476228","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/347404.jpg?v=1778346213"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/collections\/3_e23c405b-373f-408b-8295-15f8e1f73568.png?v=1755538718","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/collections\/french-grand-opera-sale.oembed?page=2","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
