The Dreamers - A Gothic Tale for Horn Trio by Niels Marthinsen. Programme note: The Dreamers for horn violin and piano is the sixth of a series of seven compositions named after Karen Blixen's collection of short stories Seven Gothic Tales. My musical gothic tales are written for very different ensembles - THE SUPPER AT ELSINORE is a saxophone quartet THE OLD CHEVALIER is for bass trombone and piano THE MONKEY is a chamber orchestra work - but they all share musical material in a criss-cross of contextual references reminiscent of Blixen's narrative complexity: Themes and motivs from one pieceappear in others in new and surprising shapes and combinations. Karen Blixen's THE DREAMERS has the most complex narrative structure of all her seven gothic tales. The story is made up of three tales with different narrators but with the same principal caracter in various disguises all three imbedded within a fourth tale that serves as a framework for the entire short story.The main story line unravels the life of a famous opera diva who looses her voice during a terrible fire. Before this her life was perpetual bliss and the tragedy drives her into assuming different personality guises in order to escape reality.Toward the end she is confronted with her true identity and dies.THE DREAMERS isn't 'about' anything. The music is inspired by the artistic content of Blixen's short story - it's emotionalism dramatic construction atmosphere period and settings - but unfolds in time and musical space in ways that are completely independent of the story's narrative progression...except one might say that the three players try their best to either catch or escape each other and that when they finally meet it happens abruptly even tragically - and only barely provides a little consolation.

The trio sonatas by Leclair are one of the bests in their genre. They can be placed on th esame level with Händel and Telemann. An opening overture follows a glorious round dance.

One of the most exciting composers of his generation Jonathan Cole was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize in 1999.?Caught? is a series of contrasting snapshots of the same material. That material is essentially afour-note chord and the piece explores the attack and resonance of that chord.

Par RUTTER JOHN. The instrumentation for this work is the same as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5. The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from a 'Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes through most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Orchestre de Chambre

Für Violine, Viola Und Violoncello. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Ein Jahr vor dem großen Trio in B-Dur für Violine, Viola und Violoncello vom September 1817 arbeitete Schubert bereits an einem Streichtrio, ebenfalls in der Tonart B-Dur. Im September 1816 vollendete er den Allegro-Satz. Das darauffolgende Andante sostenuto ist als Fragment überliefert. Die 39 Takte des Autographs wurden in der vorliegenden Ausgabe behutsam zu einem Satzganzen vervollständigt. / Niveau : 3/2/2 / Répertoire / Musique de Chambre
