About this product
Mélanie Bonis (1858-1937), a fine pianist herself, composed some 150 works for solo piano, publishing them with her first name shortened to 'Mel' to disguise the fact that she was a woman - while she lived among the French haute bourgeoisie as Mme Domange. They sometimes show the influence of Chabrier, and have points of contact with the music of Chausson, Debussy and Pierné, who had been fellow students at the Paris Conservatoire. But they also reveal an individual approach to rhythm, harmony and tone-colour - and it's clear that her conventional exterior hid a lively sense of fun, he r many miniatures for children perhaps influenced by her own experience as a mother.

Composer, conductor and pianist Thomas Ades has been described by The New York Times as 'among the most accomplished all-round musicians of his generation.' His 'Concert Paraphrase on Powder Her Face' reflects the glamor of the opera's subject in the grand manner of Liszt or Busoni, while 'Still Sorrowing' and 'Darknesse Visible' explore John Dowland's haunting lute works. Heard here in it's world premiere recording, competition piece 'Blanca Variations' is lyrical and flowing in character, and 'Traced Overhead' is a vivid description of ascent and flight. Ades captures and transforms Polish style in his 'Mazurkas,' and the spirit of Satie and Ravel in a 'Souvenir' from the film 'Colette.'
