Irène (Eneri) Gorainoff was born as Irene Biriukov on 15th November 1897 in Ostrogoschk. Her parents were an officer Biriukov and Maria Bronikowsky (1874-1928). After a short marriage the mother married Alexei Gorainoff (1872-1935), who adopted the little Irène. At the age of twelve years Irène Gorainoff was a well known pianist. She also composed and had already written over eighty works, when publisher Julius Heinrich Zimmermann signed on some of her works in 1910. In the same year she was allowed to record piano rolls on the famous Welte-Mignon reproducing piano. On 17th May 1916 she married Sergei Mikhailovich Sukhotin (1887-1926) in St. Petersburg. He was an army officer in the regiment Preobrazhensky. In December of the same year her husband became one of the murderers of Russian itinerant preacher and con­fidant of the Empress: Rasputin. After his death, Irène emigrated to France. In 1946, she married again in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois the Russian Paul Petrovich Borovsky (1892-1955). Irène Gorainoff died on 23 January 1980 in Paris. / Piano

Viulusonaatti. Par KILPINEN YRJO. Yrjö Kilpinen (1892-1959) is most known for his hundreds of lieds and song cycles. His instrumental compositions have been less know, ie. the six piano sonatas and suite for gamba and piano. Large-scale Sonata for violin and piano is dated in 1935 with opus number 87. The work was never finished, and National Library in Helsinki holds several sketches and versions in its Kilpinen collection. In 2015 violinist Frida Backman commissioned a completion of the Sonata from composer Walter Wolff. Wolff worked on the sketches and versions until 2018, when the work was completed and the Sonata premiered. The present publication is the first publication of the Sonata. It sheds light to Kilpinen as an instrumental composer. The movements are: Allegro - Andante - Andante Moderato - Allegro / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Adaptation pour cor anglais par Gilles Silvestrini?
La Rhapsodie pour saxophone et orchestre fut commandée à Debussy en 1901 par Elise Hall, une riche saxophoniste américaine. En 1903, une première partitition était recopiée, réalisée sur cinq ou six portées avec quelques indications d?orchestration. Pour des raisons inconnues, Debussy ne poursuivit pas son travail. Ce n?est qu?en 1919 que l?ouvrage fut créé, dans une orchestration de Jean Roger-Ducasse.
En 1935, le chef d?orchestre André Ansermet réorchestra l?ouvrage, en prévoyant plus de soli pour le saxophone, ceux-ci prélevés dans les parties orchestrales. Par la suite, de nombreuses réductions pour saxophone et piano s?inspirèrent de la version d?Ansermet.
Dans cette présente adaptation pour cor anglais, eu égard au caractère intimiste de l?instrument, j?ai été amené à choisir des solutions inédites, privilégiant la plus parfaite fusion avec le piano. / Partitions classique / Bois / Hautbois / EDITIONS DELATOUR FRANCE

Encore étudiant de composition dans la classe de Paul Dukas au Conservatoire, Jean Langlais écrivit en 1935 ce trio, appelé aussi 'Suite Brève', pour une formation non conventionnelle : flûte, violon et alto. 4 pièces forment les sous-titres de ce trio instrumental : I - Prélude blanc, II - Guirlandes, III - Fuguette, IV - Gigue / Flûte, Violon Et Alto

In preparing for publication the 1935 orchestral version of Britten's Te Deum in C it became clear that there were a number of discrepancies between the manuscript and the original 193 vocal score. Some of these were minor:different articulation and dynamic markings something Britten was later very fussy about but perhaps left unchanged on proof because of his relative inexperience at this stage of his career with the processes of musicpublishing. Others were more important: wrong pedal notes for example which Britten failed to notice on proof and which have been perpetuated in performances and recordings for nearly seventy years. These have been corrected inthe new edition of the vocal score and in the orchestral score (Britten clearly used the published vocal score to prepare his orchestral version). The two versions have been made consistent in other details - rehearsal cues andbar numbers for example - since Britten intended choristers to use the vocal score to perform the orchestral version. This would have been an easy task for these is little discrepancy in essential details between versions (arare departure occurs in bars 53 to 56 where the works 'Lord God of Sabaoth' are unaccompanied in the orchestral version but doubled by Organ in the original). Sustained Organ chords are often filled out with arpeggiated stringwriting while the spacing of chords is frequently much wider in the string version with melodies transposed into different octaves. Although harmony in both versions is identical voice leading is sometimes altered in the latterto make it better suited to the idioms of the instruments concerned.So although in essence the two versions are the same the soundworld explored in each is quite distinct. Britten's orchestral version should neither beviewed as an occasional piece nor considered solely a liturgical work like many of his choral pieces from the 1930s and 1940s it is equally at home in church and concert hall.

Héros de légende s'il en fut, Django Reinhardt le devint dès sa prime jeunesse. Tout d'abord parmi les siens, subjugués par l'éblouissante virtuosité de ce petit prodige du banjo, ensuite auprès des musiciens musettes, d'où sa réputation d'extraordinaire instrumentiste qui gagna comme une traînée de poudre les milieux du jazz, univers plus propre à l'épanouissement de ses ambitions musicales qu'il concrétisa à partir de 1934 (au sein du Quintette du Hot Club de France avec le violoniste Stéphane Grappelli) par d'étonnants chefs-d'?uvre comme Djangology (1935) ou Minor Swing (1937), qui gardent toute leur fraîcheur. Django et sa guitare... Virtuosité d'autant plus légendaire qu'elle dut triompher d'un terrible handicap, le guitariste manouche ayant perdu, comme on le sait, l'usage d'une partie de sa main gauche dans l'incendie de sa roulotte en 1928. La vogue incroyable d'un swing à la française fit parfois écran à la dimension profondément novatrice de son art et à l'intransigeance musicale que Django manifesta toujours, tant dans ses improvisations les plus vertigineuses que dans ses compositions les plus populaires, tel l'universel Nuages (1940). Pour dépasser la légende, les auteurs insistent sur l'aspect purement musical d'une démarche créatrice qui confondit aussi bien Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins et Duke Ellington que Benny Goodman, John Lewis ou Dizzy Gillespie. En commentant avec pertinence chacune des pièces qui jalonnent son parcours, ils appréhendent en son entier l'?uvre immense de ce véritable génie qui fut moins le batteur d'estrades qu'accrédita trop souvent une fascination suspecte pour ses performances instrumentales que le plus important musicien de jazz que le Vieux Continent ait jamais engendré. L'ouvrage évoque pour finir les musiciens qui, cinquante ans après la mort de Django, perpétuent et renouvellent la tradition du jazz manouche. Il est complété par une discographie mise à jour.
