The Quatuor Voce presents “Poétiques de l’instant”, a long-term project and a diptych of recordings that aim to combine two of the key works in the repertory of any string quartet – the masterpieces of Debussy and Ravel – with other pieces of music and new compositions. This first instalment focuses on Debussy’s Quartet and the Quatuor Voce has enlisted a young composer, Yves Balmer, for the works that revolve around it: he has arranged the Proses lyriques song cycle and has also composed a new piece, Fragments soulevés par le vent. To record this programme, the quartet has chosen to perform alongside three exceptional artists, the soprano Jodie Devos, the flautist Juliette Hurel and the harpist Emmanuel Ceysson.

Virtuoso flautist Juliette Hurel offers us two pillars of the Cantor’s work for transverse flute: the essential Suite in B Minor for flute and strings, which ends in the world-famous Badinerie, and the unique Partita (or Sonata, the editors can’t quite decide) for solo transverse flute; and the no-less famous BWV 1013 of the 1720s. Around these twin pillars, Hurel weaves an intricate and varied tapestry, bringing in the Sonata for Trio BWV 1038, which gives every indication of being the work of Johann Sebastian, whereas it was in fact written by Carl Philipp Emanuel – or, at the very least, was a father-son collaboration. And finally we can hear the soprano Maïlys de Villoutreys performing the St Matthew Passion, the “Coffee Cantata”, the Cantata “Ich habe genug” and the Easter Oratorio, in which the solo flute takes centre stage. By way of accompaniment we have the Les Surprises ensemble, a rather continuo string quintet and, on the keyboards (harpsichord and organ), we have Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas.

Juliette Hurel and Hélène Couvert, who have long enjoyed a close rapport on the concert platform and on disc, here celebrate five French women composers at the turn of the twentieth century. Countess Clémence de Grandval was the composer of some sixty songs, of which Saint-Saëns said: ‘They would certainly be famous if their composer did not have what many people regard as the irremediable defect of being a woman.’
