French Moments = Piano Trios by ROUSSEL, DEBUSSY, FAURE – Neave Trio – Chandos
The Neave Trio bestows upon us three French piano trios that well define late Gallic Romanticism and its capacity for rare colors. French Moments = ROUSSEL: Piano Trio in E-flat Major, Op. 2; DEBUSSY: Piano Trio in G Major; FAURE: Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 120 – Neave Trio – Chandos CHAN 10996, 70:08 […]
ROUSSEL: Bacchus and Ariadne Suite No. 2; RAVEL: Daphnis and Chloe Suite No. 2 – Chicago Sym. Orch./ Jean Martinon (1965) – RCA Victor/ HDTT DVD-A
Another fine hi-res transfer made from prerecorded open-reel tape.
RIISAGER: Bricconata; Aquarelle in E; Palavas; Romance in C; Minuet; Sovesang; Violin Sonata No. 2; Two Violin Sonata; Concertino for Five Violins & Piano – Johannes Soe Hanson, violin/ Christina Bjorkoe, p./ Anne Soe Iwan, violin/ Inkeri Vanska, Inger Orbæk Lerch Hoe, Christian Ellegaard, violin – Dacapo
A once quite well-known composer, in pieces he was not so well-known for.
ROUSSEL: The Spider’s Banquet; Padmavati Suites 1 & 2 – Royal Scottish Nat. Orch./ Stephane Deneve – Naxos CYRIL SCOTT: Aubade; Neapolitan Rhapsody; Three Dances; Suite Fantastique; Two Passacaglias – Nat. Sym. Orch. of the S.A.B.C./ Peter Marchbank – Marco Polo
Interesting, off-beaten-track music from French & English composers.
“Dedicated to Barrere, Vol. 2” = Works of VARESE, ROUSSEL, GAUBERT, RIEGGER, GRIFFES, Others – Leone Buyse, flute – Crystal
Tribute to a great flute player and some pleasant discoveries.
Charles Munch conducts ROUSSEL & Other French Composers – Dutton
Relatively early inscriptions by Charles Munch on his “native soil” of French music reveal an ardent and sympathetic interpreter.
“Fantasies & Impromptus” – Music of PIERNE; SPOHR; SAINT-SAENS; FAURE; VERDALLE; SNOER; ROUSSEL & GLIERE – Lavina Meijer, harp – Channel Cl.
This includes the world premiere recordings of two totally forgotten composers for the harp – Snoer and Verdalle.
Composers Conduct = RAVEL, ROUSSEL, ELGAR, SCHMITT – var. orchestras – Urania
Four distinguished composers lead by their respective scores in well-recorded inscriptions, 1928-1932.
French Flute Chamber Music = MARCEL TOURNIER: Suite, Op. 34; FLORENT SCHMITT: Suite en rocaille, Op. 84; GABRIEL PIERNE: Variations libres et finale; JEAN FRANCAIX: Quintet; ALBERT ROUSSEL: Serenade, Op. 30 – Mirage Quintet – Naxos
Though falling under impressionist influence, the composers on this album prove quite divergent in style and intent—and a joy to hear.
