About this product
This is a sort of self-portrait of the Great Organ of the Royal Chapel of Versailles, delivering all it's aspects, enhanced by the choice of a repertoire emblematic of the baroque era the major classic French organ works (Couperin, Marchand, de Grigny, Corrette) composed to glorify the very specific aesthetics of instruments like that of Louis XIV's Chapel; but also to reveal it's other sound riches, transcriptions of chefs d'oeuvres, from Le Sommeil d'Atys by Lully, to the contredanses of Rameau's Boréades. To add a new dimension to the organ's sound universe and to enhance it's orchestral qualities, modern editing and Inchre-recordingInch processes were gently used to serve the superposition of musical voices, as if invisible hands filled in for the organist in certain works, which are true Proust's InchmadeleinesInch for Gaétan Jarry. He goes all out to play the instrument of Versailles Inchfor the Glory of God and the KingInch!

This recording is a tribute to the chromatic harp, which, with it's rich colors and theatrical effects, was perfectly tuned to the impressionist and art nouveau atmosphere of the turn of the 20th century. Geoffrey Gordon's Jeux de Creation is inspired by music from the 1920s using both traditional and extended techniques, drawing on themes by Milhaud and Debussy to portray the past and present. Reflecting this aesthetic, the other works in this program include the artistry of Ravel and Faure, the quasi-orchestral effects of Debussy's Danses, and Caplet's sensuous and spectacular Divertissements.
![Karayev / Gandelmann / Yablonsky - Symphony 1 / Violin Concerto - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/315667d1-9db5-408c-afe5-f92a61195d51.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Kara Karayev was one of the most prominent figures in the music of twentieth-century Azerbaijan, and an inspiration to subsequent generations of Azerbaijani composers. His eloquently expressive and tautly dramatic First Symphony is a significant work in Karayev's output, reflecting both the harmonies and melodic characteristics of the South Caucasus region and, in it's orchestral brilliance, the influence of his mentor Shostakovich. The Violin Concerto shows a notable shift in style, exploring the serial techniques that add astringency and inventive depth to Karayev's already richly colored and vividly diverse palette.
