Gautier Capugon - Intuition [VINYL LP] date 03/16/2018

The first joint album from countertenor Philippe Jaroussky and guitarist Thibaut Garcia, À sa guitare takes it's name from a song by the 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc. But it's frame of reference is extraordinarily wide - both culturally and stylistically. It's 22 tracks range across 400 years and music by composers and songwriters from France, Britain, Austria, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and the USA. InchThe album is a journey between different cultures, different continents and different languages,Inch says Philippe Jaroussky, Inchbut each piece is a world in itself. The idea was to take some risks... sometimes moving to a completely different world between one track and the next.Inch InchWe can evoke hugely different colours as we juggle between renaissance music and a song by Barbara,Inch explains Thibaut Garcia. InchIt's our job to play with a palette of colours to produces something unique... We put a great deal of thought into the album, but we also put our hearts into it.Inch Album Tracks 1.

The music of Ravel is especially close to Alexandre Tharaud's heart. Now, in partnership with the Orchestre National de France and conductor Louis Langrée, he has recorded both the composer's piano concertos, pairing them with Noches en los jardines de España (Nights in the Gardens of Spain), Manuel de Falla's sumptuous work for piano and orchestra. InchRavel's Concerto in G major is fresh and Mozartian in it's colours, while his Concerto for the Left Hand is haunted by dark shades and suppressed fears,Inch says Tharaud. Both concertos were premiered in 1932. InchCharacteristically for Ravel, they are simultaneously unique and alike. They share meticulous craftsmanship and jazzy touches, and both evoke little automata and the ghosts of war.Inch The cross-currents of French and Spanish culture, so evident in Ravel's aesthetic, flow though Falla's concerto-like piece too. The Andalusian composer lived for a time in Paris and became friendly with Ravel. InchThe solo piano in Noches en los jardines de España plays a different role from the piano in the Ravel concertos,Inch continues Tharaud. InchIt blends in more closely with the orchestra, though the works share a Romantic spirit and a poignant sense of nostalgia.Inch Album Tracks 1. Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83 I. Allegramente 2.
