About this product
Sophie Dervaux's debut album on Berlin Classics is very much in the French tradition. Together with her French colleague, pianist Sélim Mazari, the bassoonist presents works on this concept album Impressions that are by composers of various eras, including Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Ravel, Fauré and Koechlin. The bassoon - unusually - takes the stage as a soloist and so fulfils the purpose that the Vienna Phil bassoonist had in mind to present the unique singing sound of the instrument and enrich the world of the bassoon in the process. InchA lot of people think of the bassoon as an amusing instrument. But it can be more than just the jolly clown. I wanted to show that it can sound wonderful and sing wonderfully too.Inch There is no doubt that Dervaux has proved her point on Impressions. Her repertoire brings together familiar and seldom heard pieces, and at times ushers it's audience into a dream world. Among those pieces are Debussy's Clair de Lune and Beau Soir, illustrating the tonal compass of the bassoon. Sophie Dervaux also presents the Sonata for bassoon and piano in G major, op. 168, written by Camille Saint-Saëns, in his old age. Great phrases and lines flow from Dervaux's instrument in Fauré's Après un rêve, and a piece she arranged herself, Pièce en forme d'habanera by Ravel, brings out the almost human voice of the instrument. These Impressionists are joined by theorist and composer Charles Koechlin with his Sonata, op.71. Going a step further, Reynaldo Hahn's A Cloris and Roger Boutry's Interferénces bridge the gap between old and new and introduce jazz influences. With her new album Impressions, Sophie Dervaux aims to show her audience what is special about the bassoon it's sound, and it's virtuosity too.

Sonorous festival full of colors, smells and rhythms that describe that intense America, which is full of paradoxes, that one day awoke to it's own magic and that of the twentieth century. Heitor Villa-Lobos, responsible for Brazil's national awakening, was a music humanist. Ginastera always sought reconciliation between the melodic and rhythmic elements of Argentine folklore and the most advanced techniques that came from Europe. Ginastera left us a beautiful legacy for piano that covered all his artistic life, from the three Danzas argentinas Op. 2, from 1937 to the Sonata No. 3 Op. 55, written a year before his death. The burrowing Joropo (M. Moleiro) with festive air is the national dance of Venezuela and is often heard at it's popular and religious festivals. Mañanita caraqueña (E. Castellanos) is evocative and perfect music the nostalgia of Caracas when waking up and the bells of the cathedral. Javier Rameix debut in the prestigious InchMuziekgebouwInch in Amsterdam received critical acclaim. He played as a soloist in Europe and South America with different orchestras and performed solo recitals in the most important venues in Holland, Spain, France, Belgium and Germany.

After Bach's Toccatas, the French pianist Amandine Savary offers a fascinating interpretation of Schubert's two cycles of Impromptus, superb, stylistically 'free' works that are finely contrasted as regards structure, tempo, duration and character. The musical sweep Schubert gives these pieces - associating his name for posterity to that of this new form - enables her to go beyond virtuosity to breathe into them intense, sustained passion with at times unleashed violence. For their time the conception and the contents of these pieces were novel and from the very start of the first piece in each cycle, one can feel through the breadth of the material that Schubert's ambition goes beyond what had previously been the norm for such 'free' pieces, that the musical impulse is sweepingly different. For more than ten years Amandine Savary has performed in Europe, Japan, the USA, and Australia, building a substantial reputation as an accomplished and versatile pianist and chamber musician. She has taught piano and chamber music at the Royal Academy of Music since September 2015.
