Liner notes
We decided to devote our project to French music composed between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century because we have always been fascinated by the elegance of the melodic invention, the harmonic sophistication and tonal refinement of the combinations of instruments that are typical of music from this period. We have given pride of place to works by lesser-known composers, ranging from Widor’s late romantic style to Sancan’s more modern and extrovert compositions, from Gaubert’s impressionist reminiscences to Bozza’s lyrical sensitivity, and have included a tribute to a great female composer, Cécile Chaminade.
A rich and diverse repertoire that offers the listener the chance to get to grips with a wide variety of expressive styles, ranging from the cantabile to the virtuoso, from the expressive to the whimsical, and which create a kaleidoscope of sensations in which we hope we will be able to engage you.
Abbiamo scelto di dedicare il nostro progetto alla musica francese a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento perché da sempre ci affascinano l’eleganza dell’invenzione melodica, la raffinatezza armonica e la ricercatezza timbrica degli impasti strumentali che caratterizzano questa produzione. Abbiamo privilegiato opere di compositori meno eseguiti, spaziando dallo stile tardo-romantico di Widor alla scrittura più moderna ed estroversa di Sancan, dalle riminescenze impressionistiche di Gaubert alla sensibilità lirica di Bozza, includendo un omaggio ad una grande figura femminile, Cécile Chaminade.
Un repertorio ricco ed eterogeneo che offre l’opportunità di misurarsi con una grande varietà di atteggiamenti espressivi, che vanno dal cantabile al virtuosistico, dall’espressivo all’estroso, e che creano un caleidoscopio di sensazioni in cui ci auguriamo di riuscire a coinvolgervi.
