Ravel - L'Enfant Et Les Sortileges, L'Heure Espagnole / Debussy: Le Martyre De Saint Sebastian. Ansermet, OSR. ape+covers

Дирижирует Эрнест Ансерме: 
Морис Равель (1875-1975) - Дитя и волшебство, опера-балет (1925) 
 Испанский час, опера (1907)
Клод Дебюсси (1862-1918) - Мученичество св.Себастьяна (1911)

Ernest Ansermet's approach to L'Enfant et les Sortilèges highlights the perspective of the Child. The opening motif for two oboes, for example, is meandering and annoying, perfectly reflecting the Child's boredom and peevishness. The extreme eccentricities of the apparitions are heard in high relief, emphasizing the individuality of the vocal lines and the stunning clarity of the orchestral details. There is nothing pastel about Ansermet's reading; his ability to bring out the score's nightmarish qualities and to make the wild sections sound dangerously out of control is revelatory. All the singers excel, giving vividly characterized and vocally accomplished performances. This is altogether one of the most exciting recordings of the opera available.
Ravel's only other opera, L'Heure Espagnole, is less well known, but has many charms -- an amusing plot, vivacious music, and Ravel's characteristically brilliant orchestration. The libretto, however, doesn't seem to have inspired the composer as much as Colette's for L'Enfant, and much of the vocal writing is on the level of pleasant but unmemorable arioso. The characterizations of soloists Suzanne Danco, Paul Derenne, Michel Hamel, and Heinz Rehfuss are sharply and amusingly etched, and the singing is warm and idiomatic.
Debussy's incidental music for Gabriele d'Annunzio's play Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien is one of the composer's most substantial works, and the hour-long suite presented here consists of five excerpts assembled by André Caplet. The suite contains some of the composer's lushest and most highly perfumed music. If the listener can persevere through the sadistic pseudo-Christian mysticism of d'Annunzio's text, there is music of much delicacy, eloquence, and grandeur, and the vocal writing is especially evocative and expressive. The soloists don't convey the innocence and purity to be fully convincing, and at the end of an extended unaccompanied section notable for their perilous intonation, they face a dire tonal collision when the orchestra reenters. Ansermet's reading seems to plod when it should float, and generally fails to bring out the score's mystery and majesty. Ansermet's stolid interpretation, with the pallid orchestral playing and strained choral singing, make this performance seem very much out of place on an otherwise excellent set. The sound quality is generally good, with little tape noise, and the sound in L'Enfant et les Sortilèges is notable for the clarity with which it captures the rich and varied orchestral timbres.

Mouquet / Saint-Saens / Faure / Ravel / Damare - Flute & Orchestra works. Marc Grauwels. flac+covers

В исполнении выдающегося музыканта ХХ столетия Марка Грауельса звучат произведения для флейты и флейты-пикколо Мошелеса, Доницетти и известных французских композиторов - Жуля Муке, Сен-Санса, Форе, Равеля, Дамаре

Though Marc Grauwels’ notes speak exclusively of the French flute tradition – he is also the intrepid soloist in this entertaining disc – Moscheles’ and Donizetti’s works were conscripted, as it were, to that tradition. That in itself is hardly surprising as the French woodwind tradition was then pre-eminent and was to remain so until Fauré and Ravel’s time. For all that the tradition encompassed unrivalled depth of expression it also encompassed roulades of technical brilliance, showpieces, operatic paraphrases, test pieces, morceaux and conservatoire test pieces. It also embraced the concertante form and we have some prime examples here if not quite the claimed concertos.

Donizetti’s contribution is the earliest, a ten-minute Concertino of great charm and Beethovenian inheritance, and which, whilst not being especially memorable melodically, keeps a fine balance between the dictates of solo and tutti separation. Moscheles is back in business discographically and his Piano Concertos are making themselves known once again as more than of merely antiquarian interest. In truth he’s never entirely left the catalogues but it’s still a pleasure to encounter such skilful, crafted and sensitive music. His Concertante is written for flue, oboe and orchestra and has a fine ear for the registral differences of the two solo instruments and for sweeping characterisation. At thirteen minutes it doesn’t outstay its welcome – indeed its elegance and grandeur and the interplay between soloists (fluttering articulation and witty imitative writing) are a sheer delight. Saint-Saëns gives us a pert and convincing Tarantelle, his Op.6 incidentally, full of chirpy unison writing for the flute and clarinet soloist - as before Marc Grauwels is here joined by another fine soloist – and a splash of the military. Fauré’s quartet of works are in orchestrations by Yoav Talmi and they work well enough – the Fantasie is the most consistently attractive in this guise and receives a commensurately winning performance. After the Ravel we end with a flourish – a big brass bandy La merle blanc by Eugène Damaré and it certainly makes a suitably effective contrast, with Grauwels putting his piccolo to the test – and winning. But I’ve left the best to last, an exquisitely beautiful Pan et les oiseaux by Jules Mouquet – there is a version for flute and piano as well. Bathed in Virgilian waters, languorous and deep, this is suffused in sunlight and coiling twists of meadow grass, a gorgeous and captivating piece, no more than seven minutes long. As they used to say in the old days, it’s worth the price of admission on its own. Excellent performances add to the very real charm of this disc.
