Rune Alvers’ CD Le nouveau Grieg is currently being digitally relaunched on the LAWO Classics label. The CD was recorded on Edvard Grieg’s own grand piano at Troldhaugen Bergen in 2007. The term Le nouveau Grieg – The new Grieg, refers to the composer’s Slåtter op. 72, which is included in its entirety on the CD along with Lyriske stykker op. 71. However, tonight’s concert presents a broader selection of Edvard Grieg’s production with verbal intros of a historical and musical nature.

For the second volume in the Schumann Collection launched with his brother Pierre, Theo Fouchenneret has surrounded himself with a fine team of chamber musicians to immortalise the series of works for wind instruments and piano from 1849. Like a gallery of legendary characters, oboe, horn and clarinet follow one another, giving way to the astonishing Andante and Variations for two pianos, two cellos and horn, in which the sketches follow one another with the intensity of a tale as thrilling as it is mysterious.

With these words begins the first written cello method, authored by Michel Corrette and published in Paris around 1741: the cello, a bass instrument, is considered a “noble pillar of harmony”. At that time, music history was roughly in the middle of the basso continuo era, which began during Monteverdi’s lifetime with the “Seconda Pratica” and ended during Robert Schumann’s lifespan. A lot revolved around the melody of the bass line, its realisation and rendering. In Corelli’s orchestra, a large bass section comprising many instruments of different sizes, with several cellos, double basses, lutes and harpsichords, was placed just behind the concertino. Behind them were the intermediate voices, first and second violas. Only behind the latter were those who carried the melody of the upper voices, namely the violinists. Such a setting has nothing to do with today’s musical practice and sound expectations. The vast bass section determined the tempo, the character and the dynamics. Those providing the melody had to adapt; any resistance would have been pointless.

Dámaso Pérez Prado (Spanish: [ˈpeɾes ˈpɾaðo]; December 11, 1916 – September 14, 1989) was a Cuban bandleader, pianist and composer who popularized the mambo in the late 1940s. He frequently made brief appearances in films, primarily of the rumberas genre. The success of his orchestra and hits such as “Mambo No. 5” earned him the nickname “King of the Mambo”. His stage name was simply Pérez Prado, although his brother Pantaleón also used the same name in the 1970s, which led to confusion.Pérez Prado became a naturalized citizen of Mexico in 1980, where he died in 1989. His son, Pérez Jr., continues to direct the Pérez Prado Orchestra in Mexico City to this day.
