Le pianiste français Ismaël Margain, nouvellement signé chez Naïve, crée une mise en regard sensible et signifiante entre deux compositeurs majeurs du répertoire de son instrument, Chopin et Fauré.
Ce premier album du pianiste français enregistré sous le label Naïve n’a rien, en dépit de son titre, d’improvisé : Ismaël Margain y organise savamment la rencontre entre deux génies du piano, Frédéric Chopin et Gabriel Fauré, soulignant une « parenté évidente entre leurs écritures et dans leur inspiration », sans brouiller…

Composers from the first half of the eighteenth century typically cast their violin music in the form of a sonata for violin and basso continuo: the violin performing the solo role, the continuo the accompaniment. The continuo was realized most often by a harpsichord and a cello, either together or by just one of them. Later in the century continuo practice as an accompaniment gradually disappeared, and was replaced by another model: the sonata for keyboard with violin accompaniment. In such a sonata, the role of the violin was secondary to the keyboard part, but there are numerous examples with quite interesting violin parts. Think of, for example, the ‘violin sonatas’ of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – which were designated as ‘keyboard sonatas with an additional violin part’.

“Die Entscheidung, Werke meines Urgroßvaters aufzunehmen, ist eigentlich schon vor einiger Zeit gefallen. Bereits 2006 habe ich das Kammermusikfestival Hohenstaufen gegründet, das jährlich im September stattfindet und dessen künstlerischer Leiter ich bin. Wir spielen bei diesem Festival Kammermusik aus absolut allen Epochen, in den unterschiedlichsten Besetzungen. So kam es, dass wir uns mit der Kammermusik von Robert Kahn beschäftigten und 2013 die erste CD bei hänssler CLASSIC produzierten. Auf die Kompositionen Kahns wurde ich Ende der 1990er Jahre aufmerksam. Kahn war Senator der Akademie der Künste in Berlin und Professor an der Musikhochschule in Berlin für Kammermusik und Klavier.”

Hendrik Blumenroth & Margarita Oganesjan – Beethovens Kosmos (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:53:56 minutes | 1,81 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Farao Classics
Beethovens Kosmos: Der Zyklus der fünf Cellosonaten ist vor allem deswegen so interessant, weil er prägnant durch die verschiedenen Schaffensperioden Beethovens führt. Dabei ergibt sich ein dreiteiliger Aufbau beginnend mit den ersten beiden Sonaten op. 5 als Frühwerk, der Sonate A-Dur op. 69 als reifes Werk der mittleren Schaffensperiode und den beiden Sonaten op. 102 als Spätwerk. Durch die sehr verschiedenen Charaktere der Sonaten und den zeitlich nicht unwesentlichen Abständen zwischen ihnen ergeben sich interpretatorisch und spieltechnisch sehr reizvolle Möglichkeiten, diese Unterschiede herauszuarbeiten.
Entstanden ist ein klangstarker musikalischer Kosmos, eingespielt von der international renommierten armenischen Pianistin Margarita Oganesjan und dem mehrfachen Preisträger Hendrik Blumenroth am Violoncello, der die Zuhörer von der ersten Note an in seinen Bann zieht.

On Giacometti” is a collection of beautiful recordings inspired by the renowned artist and family and features some of Rani’s most profoundly delicate compositions to date. Invited by film director Susanna Fanzun, to score her forthcoming documentary on the legendary artist Alberto Giacometti, Hania Rani took herself to the Swiss mountains to compose in blissful isolation. As Rani explains eloquently below the compositions are based on improvised melodies, simple harmonies and structures and inspired by the silence of the mountains as Rani returns to her main instrument, the piano. The results are beguilingly reminiscent of her beloved debut album Esja, but with subtle extra layers of synthesiser, and on two tracks cello from friend and long-running collaborator Dobrawa Czocher.
