Michel Portal, Michel Dalberto – Berg ∙ Brahms ∙ Poulenc ∙ Schumann: Sonatas for Clarinet and Piano (2024)

This album takes us on a journey through several different eras of Romanticism, from its origins to its twilight, from Schumann to Poulenc by way of Brahms and Berg. It is also the story of a long friendship and artistic collaboration . . . A declared enemy of anything that smacks of routine, the clarinettist Michel Portal looks after his unpredictability the way an astronaut looks after his oxygen supply. His almost organic curiosity, his need for exchange, reacts here to an exciting encounter with the pianist Michel Dalberto. The clarinet sonatas by Brahms and Poulenc, Schumann’s Phantasiestücke and Berg’s Four Pieces are all seen in a new perspective at La Dolce Volta. Every Michel Portal recording is a passport to wisdom, a term that for him goes hand in hand with speed, joy and exultation. Eternal youth!

After an album devoted to Beethoven, Michel Dalberto returns to the world of Liszt, with the immense Sonata in B minor forming the centerpiece of his new recording. The composer was a visionary, but also a prodigious ‘storyteller’. The French pianist’s interpretation reveals both strands in the work, while also bringing out to the full the formidable, spectacular virtuosity of the four Études d’exécution transcendante and the poetic profundity of Vallée d’Obermann. This recording was made on a splendid Carl Bechstein piano in the auditorium of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris.

Stephan Genz, Michel Dalberto – Schubert: Schwanengesang & Klavierstücke, D. 946 (2017)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:06:26 minutes | 990 MB | Genre: Classical, Romantic Era, Art Song
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Aparté
The baritone Stephan Genz and the pianist Michel Dalberto gathered again around the Lied. After Schumann, Brahms and Wolf, they join Schubert to record his Swansong. That posthumous cycle, with its moving accents and mysterious atmosphere, was made up by an editor in want of a commercial success. However this collection of lieder shows how skilled Schubert was to make a real author of a minor one. Schubert was also the first composer to set Heine’s poetry to music, well before Schumann.

Vlado Perlemuter and Jean Hubeau’s pupil, Michel Dalberto has established himself during a forty year career as a master. And as an ardent defender of French music he launched on Aparté a series dedicated to Debussy, Fauré, Franck and Ravel. “With these recordings of works of four major French composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, I wish to prove myself worthy of the teachers who used to provide a specific idea of French music made of severity and sensuality, a mixture of rigour and freedom.” After a first opus devoted to Debussy and a second to Fauré (both rewarded with international awards), Michel Dalberto chose the Salle Philharmonique in Liège to record the third part of this collection – that is to say in César Franck’s home town.
