AUSTA Stringendo: Esther Hoppe & Alasdair Beatson, Mozart & Poulenc

Very imaginative programming pairs Mozart and Poulenc. The three Mozart sonatas (K.301, K.304 and K.378) include the E minor Sonata, K.304 (1778); the only violin sonata that Mozart wrote in a minor key. Esther Hoppe has a bright and exquisite tone with an endless variety of colours and a vast range of dynamics. Alasdair Beatson is Hoppe’s arti...

CD Hotlist: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Francis Poulenc, Works for Violin & Piano

Here’s an interesting pairing: the enfant terrible of the high classical period alongside another puckish rebel, the playful (and notably untrained) mid-20th-century French composer Francis Poulenc. Although both were known for their sense of humor, stylistically this program makes no sense; the transition from Mozart’s E minor sonata to Poulen...

Music Web International: Ginastera Harp, Anaïs Gaudemard

On the face of it, to present a programme with three pieces that range over one hundred and fifty years might seem a strange thing to do. This is especially the case as they are only linked through the solo instrument, the harp, and are stylistically miles apart. However, in the hands of Anaïs Gaudemard this works well, showing the versatility ...

Le Nouvelliste: Levinas, Petit Prince de l'opéra

C’est la première fois qu’un compositeur français crée un opéra tiré du «Petit prince» de Saint-Exupéry. Double réussite: scénographique par la complicité que Michaël Levinas suscite entre la salle et la scène, lyrique par la puissance du langage musical, dont la seule version sonore suffit à nourrir l’imaginaire de la représentation. «Au-delà ...

Audiophile Audition: Brahms - String Sextet No. 1 in B-flat Major; String Sextet No. 2 in G Major

Recorded 9-11 February 2014, these realizations of the two Brahms string sextets share with us a profound and often melancholy – and contrapuntal – intimacy. The Quatuor Sine Nomine opens with the 1865 G Major Sextet, composed in the spirit of “atonement” for a failed engagement between Brahms and Agathe von Siebold, daughter of a university p...

Music Web International: Levinas, Le Petit Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s work Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) has enchanted and perhaps disturbed its readers, whether young or not so young, since its first appearance in 1943. Voted as the ‘Best Book of the 20th Century’ by the French public it has been animated, turned into ballet, dramatized, made into television and cinematic movies;...

Tribune de Genève: Le Petit Prince

Si la création à l'Opéra de Lausanne du Petit Prince de Michaël Levinas d'après Saint-Exupéry avait été un vrai enchantement musical et visuel, grâce à la mise en scène épurée de Lilo Baur et à des acteurs-chanteurs convaincants, la publication de l'enregistrement audio (capté à Paris) suscite un sentiment partagé. On retrouve l'extraordinaire ...
