But Dubois does not deserve his relative neglect: not only was he a superlative craftsman, but he could also unfold a fetching melody and had a strong sense of musical narrative. This recital of chamber works for oboe and strings is noteworthy for a further quality, one often underestimated: much of the music is, quite simply, charming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toccata","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46012705046762,"sku":"5060113443625","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3964351-2701292.jpg?v=1778260192"},{"product_id":"eleven-famous-cathedral-organs-various","title":"Eleven Famous Cathedral Organs","description":"Following the success of 10 Famous Cathedral Organs, this release Includes more Famous Cathedral organs with splendid sound.

Theodore Dubois is the perfect example of the 'official' composer during the time of French Romanticism: he successively was a Prix de Rome recipient (1861), organist at the Madeleine (1877), an academician (1894), and director of the Conservatoire (1896) where he had been teaching since 1871. However, so much injustice as well as honor was heaped upon his music - accused of academic rigidity - that it is important to rehear it to be in a better position to judge it's real interest value. A representative selection of works, typically previously unrecorded, is provided on this multi-faceted book-CD: A biography, extracts from Dubois' recollections, as well as articles discussing the composer's style and personality.","brand":"Ediciones Singulares","offers":[{"title":"CD with Book","offer_id":46013089218794,"sku":"9788461723652","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/2840846.jpg?v=1778300753"},{"product_id":"dubois-violin-concerto-violin-sonata-ballad-turban-70303","title":"Dubois: Violin Concerto, Violin Sonata \u0026 Ballad \/ Turban, Gruneis, Deutsche Radio Philharmonie","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in the Champagne countryside in 1837, Théodore Dubois developed his talents at the Reims Cathedral, which explains why the Catholic sacred sphere influenced him throughout his life. Even today he continues to be known in France above all as a composing organist and a composer of sacred music for liturgical use who compiled a massive oeuvre. He also continues to be much discussed in educational circles as the author of the standard manuals in music theory of a strictly conservative nature. We are now releasing three of his violin compositions, which, by contrast, have been neglected and wrongly forgotten by posterity. His Violin Concerto was dedicated to none other than the violin legend Eugène Ysaÿe. The quality of this work is manifested most impressively in the Adagio middle movement in the form a long-drawn-out melody with a mighty amplitude; the deepest depths are fathomed with big sound, and iridescent heights are scaled. Here the whole individual value of French violin culture is revealed. And his only Sonata for Violin and Piano also contains the name of a great virtuoso in its dedication – Henri Marteau – and was composed to order for him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46028020613354,"sku":"761203793228","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3581447.jpg?v=1778381569"}],"url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/collections\/theodore-dubois.oembed","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
