Debussy / Faure / Qu - Impressions parisiennes [New CD]

Description: Debussy / Faure / Qu - Impressions parisiennes [New CD] Artist: Debussy / Faure / Quatuor Van Kuijk Title: Impressions parisiennes Condition: Format: CD Release Date: 2024 Label: Alpha UPC: 3701624510674 Genre: Classical Artists Having recorded the 'great' French quartets of Debussy and Ravel (ALPHA295), the Van Kuijk Quartet now takes another path and explores treasures by Faure, Debussy, Satie, Ravel and Poulenc that were originally composed for piano or voice. The mark of the string quartet is secretly apparent in this programme, which includes Debussy's Petite Suite pour piano à quatre mains, Ravel's famous Pavane pour une infante defunte and well-known songs by Poulenc, Faure and Satie in transcriptions made especially for this recording by Emmanuel Francois, the Quartet's violist, and by Jean-Christophe Masson and Gildas Guillon. The Quartet also asked the jazz pianist and composer Baptiste Trotignon to create a work that would freely resonate alongside the styles of the composers whose works had been transcribed. An entire universe has now been re-created without any nostalgia or pastiche behind the first names of these composers, Ces Messieurs. The Van Kuijks have woven their instruments in and around these miniatures and here unfold a programme that is all lightness and delight.Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
