Ces 6 nouvelles pour piano sont inspirées du recueil de poèmes Kobzar de Taras Chevtchenko (1814-1861), écrivain - poète le plus important d'Ukraine. Ses récits décrivent l'histoire de l'Ukraine, sa splendeur et ses pages sombres ; la thématique est dérangeante encore aujourd'hui.Cet opus est d'une profonde maturité, avec une musique très riche, intense, expressive et épique. / Clarinette / Billaudot

Le Concerto slave de Borys Lyatoshynsky est considéré comme l'un des plus grands chefs-d'oeuvre de la musique classique ukrainienne.La singularité de cette oeuvre est d'être entièrement fondée sur les mélodies ou motifs populaires de l'Ukraine et de ses pays voisins. Écrite dans la tradition des grands concertos du XIXe et de la première partie du XXe siècle, cette oeuvre est très personnelle et parfaitement fidèle au style et à l'esthétique du compositeur en raison de ses trouvailles et audaces.La facture pianistique, très virtuose, malgré une difficulté parfois féroce, ne manque pas d'intimité, de richesse et de raffinement. Le dialogue enchevêtré entre le soliste et l'orchestre dans un discours dramaturgique global crée un véritable tableau symphonique. / Piano / Billaudot

Modern Piano Nocturnes. Par METELKA JAKUB. The album ?The Secret Garden? by Jakub Metelka (b. 1986) contains fifteen recital pieces in simple song form, thus tying in with his successful, technically less demanding piano cycle ?Little Virtuoso? (BA11569). The individual compositions in the collection are characterized by Metelka?s unmistakable, tonally anchored melodic style, enriched with many unusual harmonies and colours, which here underlines the slightly melancholic and mysterious character of these nocturnal pieces. The playful illustrations by Andrea Tachezy reflect these moods in an imaginative and charming way. Although it is not really a predetermined cycle, the fifteen atmospheric character pieces, with their programmatic titles and their arrangement tell a kind of fairy tale that culminates in the magical final composition ?The Secret Garden?. / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Répertoire / Piano

Sept pièces pour piano. Par LAKS SIMON. Simon Laks (1901-1983), who moved from Warsaw to Paris in 1926 at the age of 25, belonged to the large group of composers from Central and Eastern European countries who went down in 20th-century music history as the ?École de Paris?. Slavic temperament amalgamated in their music with French esprit, the folklore of their native countries combined with the stylistic elements of neoclassicism and jazz typical of the time. As a member of the ?Association of Young Polish Musicians?, Laks quickly made his way into French musical life. However, his career was ended with the beginning of World War 2 due to the collaboration of the Vichy government with Nazi Germany. Internment in 1941 was followed by deportation to Auschwitz in 1942. Laks survived the Shoah as a member and later leader of a camp band in Birkenau, which he testified to in his moving book Music in Auschwitz. After the traumatic experiences, Laks did not return to regular compositional activity until the 1960s, producing an opera, songs, and chamber music works, some of which were awarded important composition prizes. At the peak of this optimistic creative phase, he composed incidental music for Peretz Hirschbein's famous Yiddish comedy Dem Schmids Techter (The Blacksmith's Daughters), which premiered in New York in 1918, for a new production of the play at the Théâtre de l?Entrepôt in Paris. Along with Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes and Shostakovich's cycle From Yiddish (Jewish) Folk Poetry, it is one of the most significant 20th-century explorations of art music with Jewish folklore ? homage to a culture irreparably destroyed. From the original score, Holger Groschopp compiled two suites, for violoncello and piano and piano solo, that capture the essence of Lak?s enchanting drama music. The premiere recording of the suites with Holger Groschopp and Adele Bitter was awarded the Opus Klassik 2023 in the category Editorial Achievement of the Year. . / Niveau : moyen - avancé / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Répertoire / Piano
