Philzuid’s sixth album includes works by Louise Farrenc and Robert Schumann. This brave and welcome attempt to rewrite or at least re-evaluate music history features live recordings of Louise Farrenc’s Third Symphony and Robert Schumann’s Third (Rhenish) Symphony under chief conductor Duncan Ward. Female composers in the 19th century were not expected to pursue a career, let alone compete with the great symphonists of the period; Schumann, however, had all eyes and ears on him whenever he premiered a new work or took up a new position.

This fourth album by philharmonie zuidnederland includes works by Darius Milhaud, Charles Koechlin, Duncan Ward and Edward Elgar. Principal conductor Duncan Ward takes you on a symphonic journey with Darius Milhaud’s La Création du monde for small orchestra, after which we fly to the stars in Charles Koechlin’s mysterious Vers la voûte étoilée — Koechlin had first intended to become an astronomer. We then travel further afield with Ward’s own Fumes ; Ward had studied in India with sitar legend Ravi Shankar before joining him in California. The album ends with Elgar’s Enigma Variations . Elgar portrayed fourteen of his closest friends in this enigmatic, humorous and moving work.

Six years after the success of the album “Cinema”, here is the long-awaited new tribute by the violinist Renaud Capuçon to the French composers of film music.
“The idea of this new disc bringing together French film music composers was born about ten years ago during conversations with my friend Jacques Chancel. He told me a lot about Georges Delerue and Pierre Schoendorfer, who had worked together on Dien Bien Phu. Two or three years ago, thinking back on these conversations, I rediscovered Delerue’s music, and I realized what an extraordinary composer he was. In tribute to their talent, to the friendship between these men who have now disappeared, I wanted to make this album around the most eminent French composers of the 7th Art: Delerue, Sarde, Legrand, Jarre, Kosma, de Roubaix, Petit, Cosma, Lai, Yared, Rombi, Desplat. And through their music, make you relive magical moments with the unforgettable Romy Schneider, Michel Piccoli, Yves Montant, Philippe Noiret, Louis de Funès and so many others. May these Things of life give you as many stars in your eyes as we had recording them with The Centuries and Duncan Ward.”

Liya Petrova presents here the first instalment of a double diptych, featuring two rarely recorded works: Walton’s Violin Concerto (1938) with a prestigious British orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Duncan Ward, and Respighi’s Violin Sonata (1917) with her regular keyboard partner Adam Laloum. The shimmering harmonic palette and the vigorously phrased lyricism of these two works respond almost instinctively to each other and make them a natural coupling.

The fifth album of Philzuid features works by Béla Bartók, Anders Hillborg and Claude Debussy. Chief conductor Duncan Ward takes you on a journey filled with innovative sounds and with folk music. Bartók developed his own tonal language through elements taken from folk music whilst Anders Hillborg’s surprising tonal language shows the influence of Scandinavian folk music and of Klezmer. Claude Debussy, however, turned Romantic tonality on its head with harmonies and melodies that owed part of their development to Javanese gamelan music.
