Ensemble Masques - English Fancy - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The composer Hans Werner Henze describes his Ninth Symphony for mixed chorus and orchestra (words by Hans-Ulrich Treichel after the novel InchThe Seventh CrossInch by Anna Seghers) as follows InchWhat happens in this symphony is an apotheosis of terror and pain. It is a summa samarium of my creative output, the attempt to come to terms with the assaults of an arbitrary and unpredictable world. (...) A German reality, this symphony is above all an expression of enormous respect for the people who dared to resist in the time of Nazi-Fascist terror and who gave their lives to defend freedom of thought.Inch

We have wanted to record Bach's violin concertos with Sophie Gent ever since she joined Ensemble Masques in 2003, says Olivier Fortin, harpsichordist and founder of the ensemble that explores Baroque music with such passion. InchSophie is an exceptional musician with an extremely convincing, honest and unpretentious styleInch. Another pillar of the group is Kathleen Kaji, who is the soloist for Telemann's viola concerto. InchTelemann is a fantastic storyteller,Inch she says, Inchwho provides a plot, characters, costumes and props - and leaves you to put it all togetherInch. Two sinfonie by Albinoni link the concertos and shine a spotlight on each musician in the ensemble.
