Die französische Sopranistin Sandrine Piau liebt es, Sprachen und Welten verschiedener Komponisten und Dichter um ein Thema herum zu vermischen; hier treffen Schubert, Liszt, Wolf und Clara Schumann auf Lili Boulanger, Duparc und Debussy. Sandrine Piau erklärt: »Die Verheißung neuer Horizonte, die Freude an neuen Begegnungen: Die Reise in all ihren Formen war für David und mich der rote Faden dieses Konzepts.« Denn »Langsam stirbt, wer nicht reist, wer nicht liest, wer nicht Musik hört, wer weiß, wie er die Anmut in seinen eigenen Augen finden kann.« (Pablo Neruda)

No-one could think that Edgar Moreau and David Kadouch had an easy job in selecting the programme for this album, which begins with the expansive and impressive Grand Dramatic Sonata (Grande sonate dramatique) “Titus et Bérénice”, by Rita Strohl (1865-1941), a pseudonym of Aimée Marie Marguerite Mercédès Larousse La Villette, a French composer of the same vein as Franck or Saint-Saëns. Rita Strohl has gone down in history as an astounding character: she had the idea of creating a kind of French Bayreuth, La Grange, in Bièvres (!) with the support of Odilon Redon and a number of other artists of the day; it was done in aid of performing Rita’s operas – monumental works, more than a match for any of the most colossal excesses of Scriabin: a Christian cycle, a Celtic cycle lasting five days, a Hindu cycle in seven. The sheer size of these projects was overwhelming, to say nothing of other troubles such as the start of the First World War and other personal troubles of Strohl’s. All the same, this Sonata reveals in Strohl a figure bursting with talents and ideas, which Moreau and Kadouch bring to life with unstinting devotion. Poulenc’s little-performed Sonata for Cello and Piano follows: a delicious taste of Poulenc’s “light” output, which almost classes as salon music. The other great moment on the album is Franck’s Sonata, as re-written by Jules Desart during the composer’s lifetime. The album also offers a little rarity from Fernand de La Tombelle, one of the founding members of the Schola Cantorum, whose score relates to the work of Reynaldo Hahn. This ample album closes with a world-first Poulenc recording (such a thing is still possible!), Souvenirs. It is well-named: the piano part appears to recall (or prefigure) the dramas of Dialogues, while the cello, which only intervenes occasionally, shows off Poulenc’s salon voice!

The gigantic fresco of history and these tiny moments of life combine to form a tracery of memory. It is on this incongruity that the performer’s art rests. Composers’ revolutions have been as much personal as political. In this recording, David Kadouch demonstrates that music is a human paradox that demonstrates this phenomenon in both the infinitely small and the infinitely large.

Russian composers have never ceased to celebrate their homeland in the form of tales and legends. At the frontiers of the supernatural, Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an exhibition’ hymns the eternal truths of childhood and death. In epic fashion, the Medtner sonata mingles a Romantic sweep with the tragic elements of life, whereasTaneyev returns to the origins of the great musical forms with his Prelude and Fugue. David Kadouch, with panache, assumes the role of storyteller in these multiple tales, mythical or imagined, of Holy Russia.

On this piano recital, pianist David Kadouch explores the Les musiques de Madame Bovary. “The relationship between music and literature has always stimulated me. The memories and images that one can have of a narrative can inhabit and magnify the notes of a composer. I wanted to imagine the music that Emma Bovary might have listened to during her short life, evoking the often-forgotten women composers of Flaubert’s time. With this question hanging in the air: could Emma Bovary’s fate, her suicide, have been avoided, if these female creators had had the notoriety they deserved?”
