Eric Montalbetti has had a long and fulfilling music career, though not necessarily in the field of composition. He is most known for his 18 year tenure as Artistic director of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. However, he began composing as a young child and has continued throughout his whole life. Montalbetti writes of this project: Today, I am most happy to see my scores taking life thanks to wonderful conductors and soloists, and to develop new composition projects for the future. In this music one can hear all of our most varied emotions- energy, mourning, hope, love, rage, and gratitude. Notable works on this release include Trois etudes pares Kandinsky for piano, and Esprit tendre, for oboe, which is a tribute to Helen and Elliott Carter. These works are performed by some of the best soloists in the current French music scene.

In the course of his recordings for Alpha, François Lazarevitch has explored the music of the Baroque and of oral and popular traditions. After Scottish and Irish music, airs de cour and Baroque suites and sonatas, he stops off in Vivaldi’s Italy. With him, of course, he has his cargo of rare instruments, including the musette de cour (a more sophisticated form of bagpipe) which he uses here to perform Spring from The Four Seasons, in an astonishing and very convincing version transcribed by the great virtuoso wind player of the reign of Louis XV, Nicolas Chédeville.

Genre: Classical

Samson François He travelled across the world of music like a meteor, a shooting star. Excessive in all things, he burned his candle at both ends. The cigarette forever on his lips was a symbol of the fire that burned within this man who had a passion for jazz and the shadowy world of the night. Born in 1924 in Frankfurt, to a French father and a glamorous Alsatian mother, he spent his childhood and adolescence being taken from town to town, this artistic soul was profoundly sensitive, a romantic with a fanciful streak, often unpredictable. An admirer of Arthur Rimbaud and André Breton, he shared a little of their fire. Samson François was a real performer: one for whom the phrase "inspiration" was more than a cliché. Whether in poetic mood or in a frenzy, he never left his listeners indifferent. He could even throw them off balance at concerts where nothing special happened: that is what a real creator can do, and François was one. Hemmed in within the limits of his keyboard, he had the imaginative range to be a composer, and he wrote the music for a film a Piano Concerto (which he also recorded), pieces for the piano and… lots of aborted projects. His favourite repertoire? Ravel, Debussy, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt and Prokofiev, a choice which allowed him to express the extremes of his unstable and fascinating spirit.

The 21 Mazurkas belong to those youthful works which it has been agreed upon to designate as Scriabin’s 'first period', thus referring to a composer still heavily influenced by romantic models, and Chopin in particular. Too rarely in concert, these pieces indeed possess a melodic inventiveness and charm which make them as appealing as they are accessible. By their conciseness and finely wrought style, they even figure – with the Prelude- among the finest examples of the Russian composer-pianist’s miniaturist art.

Mira Glodeanu, Ensemble Ausonia - François Francœur: 4 Sonates pour violon et basse continue (2001) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at Aug. 4, 2024

The son of a double bass-player in the 24 Violons du Roi, François Francoeur was born on September 21, 1698. His prodigious early talent as a violinist gained him a place in the Opéra orchestra at the age of either 12 (New Grove Opera) or 15 (the notes for the present disc), where he was joined by the equally youthful François Rebel, the son of the more famous Jean-Ferry Rebel. The two youngsters formed what was destined to be a lifetime of collaboration, being known throughout their lifetime as “les petits violons.”
