invaluable disc, the Quartet in G for violin, viola, cello and piano, was completed just a month before Hahn died in January 1947. If that's so, it can be listened to as a farewell, something that inevitably invokes Hahn's friendship with Marcel Proust. And even if one were told that he'd composed the quartet when he was young and happy, it would still evoke a mood of regret and yearning. It's the beautiful Andante, the third movement, that's the heart of the piece. A song without words that seems to speak of the pain of long parting, of thoughts unspoken, it ends on a reflective note of acceptance. Even the dance-like final movement, which contains a perhaps unconscious quote from some of the music for Hahn's musical comedy Mozart, also has a bittersweet quality. The Quatuor Gabriel play it eloquently, without undue sentimentality.
The suite Premières valses for piano was composed in 1898, when Hahn was at the height of his youthful celebrity in Parisian society. The fifth waltz is subtitled 'A l'ombre rêveuse de Chopin', and the whole sequence seems to be a tribute to the style of the 1840s. Yoko Kaneko plays it with more emphasis on the Polish mood than Catherine Joly in her 1988 recording on Accord. This performance reveals more of the rhythmic inventiveness in these miniatures.
The romantic Soliloque et forlane was composed in 1937 as a test piece for the Conservatoire.
Vincent Aucante and Kaneko bring out the playful Spanish quality in the allegro scherzando finale. Finally, Roland Pidoux's arrangement of Hahn's song cycle Venezia for cello sextet must be such an expensive proposition that you're unlikely to encounter it in the concert hall. The tunes are adorable.
