A près de vingt ans de son premier essai pour Quatuor à cordes (Cinq Séquences, en 1963), Maurice Ohana retourne à ce genre difficile, pour lequel il a gardé une secrète prédilection au long de ces années d'apparent éloignement (avec l'exception de Stream pour trio à cordes et voix de basse, composé en 1970).Une commande du Ministre de la Culture en 1977 (c'était, à l'époque, Madame Françoise Giroud), lui fournit le prétexte. L'oeuvre sera écrite entre 1979 et 1980. Une fois encore, Maurice Ohana cherche à échapper au trop grand sérieux que la plupart des compositeurs croient devoir observer en traitant l'assemblage des quatre instruments du quatuor. Les sous-titres, déjà, annoncent une oeuvre d'imagination plutôt que d'écriture ou de recherche: Sagittaire, Mood, Alborada, Faran-Ngô.On perçoit, ici et là, une guitare voilée, des rythmes qui font penser à une mystérieuse 'Nuit dans Grenade', plus tragique peut-être que la 'Soirée' de Claude Debussy.Sagittaire, après un appel initial, enchaîne des rythmes martelés et obsédants.Dans Mood, les réminiscences d'un Negro Spiritual semblent affleurer, comme dans d'autres ouvrages du compositeur où les Blues de sa jeunesse ont laissé un écho persistant.Alborada déploie le prisme d'harmonies lumineuses pulvérisées dans une brume sonore onirique. Faran-Ngô (composée de Farruca et Fandango) enfin est une fête nocturne aux guitares lointaines. / Quatuor A Cordes

This poignant duet for voice and obligato is about remorse betrayal and the universal theme of suffering. It is one of the centre-pieces of the St. Matthew Passion and is sung after Peter has denied Christ betraying him to the authorities and to his Crucifixion.Gavotte and Tambourin.

Par LEIVISKA HELVI. Finnish composer Helvi Leiviskä (1902-1982) created a broad-based output of orchestral works, solo songs and chamber music. Her style could be described as moderate modernism, deriving influences from multiple sources such as late Romanticism, Symbolism, Expressionism, Existentialism and Neo-Classicism. Leiviskä's output is characterised by philosophical and religious themes, images of nature and narrative structures. Many of her works focus on human existential angst and spiritual searching and growth. Helvi Leiviskä originally completed her Piano Quartet in A major op. 1 in 1926 but revised it a decade later, in 1935. Written for the traditional piano quartet lineup (violin, viola, cello and piano), the work is in three movements and has a duration of about 25 minutes. It features religious and ecstatic imagery such as may be found in French, German or Russian neo-Romantic styles. Leiviskä's Piano Quartet is considered one of the cornerstones of her chamber music output. Its early version was premiered in two parts at student recitals of the Helsinki Music Institute (the 1st movement in 1925 and the 2nd and 3rd movements in 1926). The revised version was performed in full by Timo Mikkilä (piano), Sulo Aro (violin), Ilmo Ranta (viola) and Pentti Rautawaara (cello) on Finnish radio in 1939. The work was also on the programme of Leiviskä's second composition concert in 1945, being performed on that occasion by Jussi Jalas (piano), Erik Cronvall (violin), Erik Karma (viola) and Yrjö Selin (cello). Two commercial recordings have been released (Finlandia Classics 2012 and Telos Music 2016). It is published for the first time 2022 with an extensive foreword by Susanna Välimäki. The product includes the full score (piano part) and a set of string parts. Duration: c. 25'. Have a look inside by clicking 'sample'. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Quatuor avec Piano
