About this product

'There are few people as susceptible to certain musical beauties as I am; the more learned and complicated the instrumentation, the less I sense it, the faster it escapes me; on the contrary, if a simple and melancholic motif appears, I feel flooded with infinite sweetness,' Alexandre Dumas once said. To mark the 150th anniversary of the great writer's death, this album celebrates Dumas and music 'Despite the incompatibility of poetry and music, the origin of which lay, he felt, in the excessive proximity between the two,' writes Claude Schopp, the eminent Dumas specialist, in the booklet that accompanies this recording, 'Alexandre Dumas agreed to collaborate with composers, writing opera libretti for Hippolyte Monpou and Ambroise Thomas... The list of those who borrowed verses from Dumas's pen is a mixture of obscure and illustrious names' Hector Berlioz, Joseph Doche, Gilbert Duprez, Cesar Franck, Franz Liszt, Henri Reber, Francis Thome, Alphonse Varney among them. This programme, conceived in collaboration with the Association Jeunes Talents, presents an anthology of those settings, coupled with melodies by Jules Massenet, Henri Duparc and Benjamin Godard. Album Tracks 1. Elégie 2. La Belle Isabeau 3. Jeanne D'arc Au Bûcher 4. La Fuite 5. Jocelyn Berceuse 6. L'ange 7. Nita la Gondolière 8. Te Souviens-Tu 9. La Captive 10. Soleil Couchant 11.

Plewniak - 12 Concerti Di Parigi - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vivaldi's work is extraordinarily profuse, and from his Inchextraordinary fury of compositionInch resulted a collection of 12 concertos, preserved in Paris since then, genuine jewels of Vivaldian music! However, for whom were they composed? The French Ambassador in Venice, Jacques-Vincent Languet, who made numerous commissions to Vivaldi in the 1720s? Perhaps as a magnificent gift to a visiting French music lover... Or perhaps François-Etienne, Duke of Lorraine and Bar? A fine music lover and musician, who in 1745 became Emperor Francis I of Austria, gave early protection to Vivaldi, who introduced himself in 1731 as Inchmaestro di cappella di S.A.R. il Serenissimo Sig. Duca di LorenaInch. The Paris Concertos would then have passed through the Luneville Court, which was very musical? The mystery is there, but these works influenced Parisian musical life. Stefan Plewniak's raging violin gives them back their full glory in this virtuoso interpretation by the Orchestre de l'Opera Royal de Versailles!
