Balafon, the first of Christian Lauba's Neuf Etudes for Saxophone, is an 'African song? that uses the ancient technique of circular breathing. This soloist work - splendidly performed in the album 'Hard? by Richard Ducros, one of the greatest interpreters of Lauba's works for saxophone - was expanded and transformed, with the composer's approval, by saxophonist Philippe Geiss into a piece for Saxo…

Par ARNOLD MALCOLM. A craftsman-like and gracefully wrought work in which the middle movement is particularly fine, a wistful slow waltz of lovely simplicity which begins and ends with a tranquil dialogue between the two unaccompanied violins. The last movement opens with the only real solo fireworks in the piece - a brilliant chase for the two instruments over steady rhythmic support from the acc…

Par BOULEZ PIERRE. “Fragment d‘une ébauche” is a very short piano work which Pierre Boulez dedicated to Jean-Marie Lehn in 1987 on the occasion of his Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Par STRAVINSKY IGOR. Composed in 1902 it is a miracle that Stravinsky's Scherzo in G minor survives at all. Most of the pieces from his extreme youth were lost with the fall of the Russian Empire. But the Scherzo was found among the scores presented by the estate of Nicolai Ivanovich Richter, a pianist and friend of Stravinsky's youth, to the Soviet government, and it was published in facsimile in…

Telemann's Passion oratorio 'Der Tod Jesu? was composed in 1754/55, almost at the same time as the same-named work of note by Carl Heinrich Graun. Both compositions are based on the same libretto by Karl Wilhelm Ramler.In this late work, Telemann consciously juxtaposes carefully structured recitatives with musically reduced festive choruses, thus lending the passion text great musical expressivity…
