Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. Full Score for Orchestra of George Benjamin's stunning Ringed By The Flat Horizon . 'This work contains some of the most startlingly precise storm music ever written - it seems less evocation than the sound of the thing itself. But there is more to it than that: Eliot's lines suggested form for the music, and the piece is music, and not just illustration. It moves through an original and convincing musical logic which is realized through a masterly control of varied sonorities'. Richard Dyer. Boston Globe September 1987/ Répertoire / Conducteur

Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. 'Benjamin augurs well to become the most important British composer of his generation. An Antara is a Peruvian panpipe. Benjamin's 1987 work synthesizes its sound via computer and adds trombones, flutes, percussion and strings for a 20-minute essay that dazzles as much for its textures (from lush strings to the wham of an orchestral anvil) as it does for its alert rhythmic scheme.'

Carmen est l'un des opéras les plus populaires et les plus joués au monde. Son compositeur Georges Bizet ne survécut que peu de temps à la première, mal accueillie du public. L'opéra s'imposa néanmoins rapidement auprès des grand théâtres, engendrant d'in / Orchestre / 84 pages / Partition + Cd

Par SARASATE PABLO DE. George Bernard Shaw once remarked that although there are many composers of music for the Violin, there are only a few composers of Violin music. But where Pablo de Sarasate (1844-1908) is concerned, Shaw declared that the Spanish musician's talents as both a performer and composer 'left criticism gasping miles behind him. ' Famous for his fiery, forceful, and passionate playing, Sarasate was equally renowned for the sweetness and purity of his tone and his impeccable technique. As a composer steeped in the colorful music of his native land, he was well known for his many Violin works inspired by Spanish airs and dances, written to display the instrument'scapabilitie. Carmen Fantasy, Op. 25, is Sarasate 's much-loved Violin fantasy based on Bizet's Carmen. It includes excerpts of different movements from the Carmen suite, including the familiar Habanera and opening movement. Sarasate 's popular arrangement and variations on the opera's themes are staples of the Violin repertoire. This full-score version stands as the most affordable available, and it offers both performers and listeners extra insights into a celebrated work.
