« Fuyez les orages » cette devise des artistes classiques, Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) la place au c ur de sa musique pour piano à quatre mains, qui préfère au grondement des passions l équilibre des proportions, l éclectisme de bon aloi, le charme et la délicatesse. Les Berceuses s inscrivent dans la tradition française des enfantines qu illustrent Dolly de Fauré et Ma mère l Oye de Ravel. Ces sept pièces évoquent avec raffinement le bonheur d un jour sans nuages, l effervescence qui règne la veille de Noël, ou le doux balancement syncopé d une jeune créole, Selfiana. Les Variations puériles sur une mélodie de Carl Reinecke manifestent une veine libre et fantasque, tandis que les Trois préludes sur des airs irlandais s abreuvent aux sources pures de la musique populaire, empruntant leur matériau thématique au fameux recueil Songs of Old Ireland qu avait fait paraître en 1882 Stanford. Publiées pour la première fois d après une source manuscrite, les Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé s achèvent sur un quadrille débridé qui mène les héros de la fête à l auberge la plus proche. La Pièce en forme d aria et Bergerie de 1896, finement ciselée, renoue avec l ambiance de la pastorale chère au XVIIe siècle. Cette musique au charme infini ressuscite la voix d Orphée, telle que l a entendue Jankélévitch : subjuguant sans violence, elle « pacifie les monstres de l instinct et apprivoise les fauves de la passion ». Berceuses (1904) Pièce en forme d aria et bergerie (1896) Trois Préludes sur des airs irlandais (1893) Variations puériles sur une mélodie de Carl Reinecke (1905) Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé (1892)

“Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliché' composer of his day, Hahn's Piano Works remain unknown. Love Pieces and other hitherto unpublished Piano works, however, shatter these prejudices held, representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music was a magical art and his Piano compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Suitable for intermediate standard pianists, Hahn's Love Pieces and other hitherto unpublished Piano works provide pleasant and evocative short pieces, incorporating a range of expressions, rhythms and other musical features.&rdquo.

“AL 30 757 ' French Music for Mixed Choir Those who love choral singing often lament not knowing how to go about finding, among the heaps of scores written for multiple singers, the rare gem whose discovery would intensify the enjoyment of singing together. What unknown treasure might bring a programme the touch of originality that makes it stand out? As the fruit of long and hard research on the subject, this anthology of French pieces for choir is one we hope will go down in history. The first section is made up of original works written for choral ensemble: Gabriel Fauré's Op. 35 Madrigal exhales a melancholy sensuality that is shared to some degree by Reynaldo Hahn's Rondels ' and within this Renaissance pastiche lies a real masterpiece, 'Gardez le trait de la fenêtre'. Le Ballet des ombres, written by a young Berlioz, drinks from the whimsical source of Romanticism (Herder). The second section assembles choral transcriptions of melodies ' such as Beau soir by Debussy and Deux Prières by Milhaud ' along with excellent arrangements like 'Choral inappétissant' extracted from Satie's piano in Sports et divertissements. A treasure trove of pure delight.&rdquo.
