Faure's Requiem, op. 48, is his only large-scale sacred composition and certainly his most important essay in the genre. Already popular with audiences during his lifetime, its success continues to this day. For this new edition, Yves Castagnet, titular organist of the choir organ at Notre Dame in Paris and deeply rooted in the French tradition of organ-playing, has transposed the orchestral setti…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach ’s Harpsichord concerti, extremely popular among pianists, are presumably reworkings of pieces originally written for the Violin. Bach, however, succeeded in transferring the diverse idiosyncrasies of Violin technique to the keyboard with such ingenuity that most of today’s pianists also include these concerti in their standard repertoire. The first concerto in d mi…

These words of this carol, full of colours and rich in symbolism, are from the Cherry Tree Carol , a popular folk carol telling a legend which goes back at least as far as the Coventry Mystery Plays. The piece received its first two performances on the same day, by Robinson College Choir and Clare College Choir, in Cambridge, and was later recorded by Robinson College Choir, conducted by Timothy B…

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger's concert overtures are completely beholden to the tradition of the genre established at least since the 1820s. The spread of this genre was favored in equal measure by the growth of bourgeois musical culture and the overwhelming model of Beethoven's nine symphonies, which sowed a certain perplexity and discouragement among composers of the next generatio…

Italian opera was at the centre of Handel's output for over 35 years with solo arias constituting one of the most important elements in Baroque opera. Dramatic roles, with their various moods and reactions, are characterised through arias. A large number of Handel's operas also contain at least one entire scene for two to three voices. These numbers make use not only of similar lyrical or expressi…
