Par VAN NUETEN GUY. Contact by Guy Van Nueten originated from the feeling of being abandoned, such as a person who treks through a barren desert following a great disaster and asks himself if there's any point in carrying on when every day brings just more of the same - still more desert. I suspect that each of us has such a desert within himself, but that it depends on circumstances whether or not we choose to make the journey through it. Contact lays out a path that we can share. This music seems especially romantic to me, in the sense that the sounds have much to say about loneliness. There are moments where this album emphasises its own seriousness, then immediately afterwards invites us todance. Contact sticks out a hand, sometimes two, mostly to show the internal process of the composer - firstly the lack of fire and the abandoned longing for this, followed by the bewilderment that there is something that is still smouldering and that can be fanned into a blazing forest fire to burn away all the pain of desolation. For this reason it is also moving music - because it wants the recognition of the listener, wants us to feel our own desolation while the piano explores further depths and heights. At times a composition is almost carelessly abandoned and another one begun. Whoever looks closely at feelings and is honest with himself and the world is always a little cruel. But finally there is an end to that desert - he sees an oasis and also a beautiful hotel. Upon entering, he sees no-one, not even at the desk, but the reigning play of light and colour is of an otherworldly power. Maybe no other people are needed here and the beauty that prevails is enough. Then sounds of music arise and some people move across to the immense hall where a wing has been set up, behind which a man is sitting, his fingers moving across the keyboard. And only one thing is real: after desolation comes comfort. That person is you and that person is me. And that music is called Contact, directly from the soul of Van Nueten.

A forlorn sailor stares out to sea, longing for the one left behind as 'whispers on the water' summon memories of home. This contemplative choral is deep in meaning, rich in texture, and replete with artistry. The notes are not difficult, affording the opportunity to focus on musicality. / Choeur SSA

for bassoon, violoncello and piano or two violoncellos and piano. Par BELLA MATE. A special piece - a special story: In 2020, a renowned architect approached a composer to create a new piece of music for his daughter's wedding, which the happy father could give to the young couple as a wedding present. In earlier eras of private patronage, such a story would have been natural, but in the 21st century it is an odd story. The composition subtly alludes to the occasion: against the background of the piano, a duet of two instruments tells the story of a serene love (the piece can either be performed with a bassoon and a violoncello, or with two violoncellos). Máté Bella, who moves at home among different musical styles, shapes the song of lovers longing for each other in a way reminiscent of barcarolas sung by Venetian gondoliers. / Date parution : 2022-09-27/ Répertoire / Basson, Violoncelle et Piano ou 2 Violoncelles et

80 Arrangements For Weddings And Celebrations. What would love be without music - or music without love! Many couples associate unforgettable beautiful hours, a first meeting, or first kiss with a particular song. And composers have always been inspired and stimulated by love, have celebrated romantic love and longing from afar, secret love, and jealousy. In her selection of 80 songs from seven centuries, Mirjam James evokes this tremendous feeling with the most beautiful songs ranging from medieval courtly songs, through Beethoven's Ich liebe dich, to the Beatles song And I love her. Many of the songs come from German and English language traditions, but what would such a book be without the fire of southern Europe or a dose of French charm, without the moving melodies of cool northern climes, or the melancholy songs of the Russian soul? This beautifully-produced song book is illustrated with the sumptuous paintings of Gustav Klimt, for whom love was one of the great themes of his life. The song book contains a CD with recordings of all the songs in instrumental versions so you can sing along with the pieces and get to know them. A piano book is published alongside the song book, containing all the songs in idiomatic, playable accompaniments. Whether it's for an engagement or a wedding, for Valentine's Day or an anniversary, Liebeslieder makes an ideal present for those newly in love or still in love, and who also love music./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Par RACHMANINOV SERGEI. Alongside HN 1264 (the Etude in e flat minor op. 39, 5), Henle are now offering the Etude In C Major in a single edition, taken from their much-loved complete edition of the 17 Études-Tableaux. Rachmaninoff greatly valued this work, often included it in his concert programmes and also recorded it. A longing melody unfolds over a simple accompaniment. This charming piece that alternates between major and minoris a good technical exercise for the crossing over of the hands, but does not contain nearly as many difficulties as Rachmaninoff ’s other etudes and is thus also manageable by advanced amateurs. They will be aided in theHenle Urtext edition by the helpful fingerings provided by the virtuoso Marc-André Hamelin./ Etude / Piano

Par KAHKONEN GAY. Five Miniatures for Solo Flute by Gay Kahkonen. From the composer: 'I wrote these little pieces as compositional exercises for myself during the depths of the Covid pandemic. My goal was to write a series of one-minute-long pieces that were not too serious in nature, and to write each piece in a single sitting. The result is this set of trifles.' In five movements: Bouncing, Dance, Longing, Etude, and Pirouette Polka. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière
