About

This recording by the Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra of Hamburg and conductor Jürgen Gross represents the first time that these works by the 17th century French composer Michel-Richard Delalande have been recorded in their original arrangements for five parts.

Delalande wrote his ‘Symphonies pour les Soupers du Roy’ to be performed at special meals that the King of France attended. These were formal occasions and took place before an invited audience. In this context instrumental music played an important role, its magnificence reflecting the regent’s powerful self-image.

Michel-Richard Delalande assembled the first volume of his ‘Symphonies pour les Soupers du Roy’ in 1703 and it contained 10 suites made up of 160 pieces. In all he wrote around 300 movements of this type. They are mostly short compositions, either using traditional dance models or presented as character pieces.

The Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra of Hamburg was established in 1999. The group has released two previous CDs for Challenge Classics. The first was devoted to the music of the early 18th century Dutch composer Johann Christian Schieferdecker (CC72531), and the second featured orchestral arrangements by Jörg Jacob of music by J.S. Bach (CC72625). Jacob has a long-standing relationship with the Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra both as performer and programme researcher. For this recording he has produced a complete reconstruction of the featured works, with the music being heard on disc for the first time in its original five-part arrangement.

Reviews

July 2015

This is their first recording of French music and is characterised by delicacy, warmth and clarity.

July 2015

this disc offers an interesting approach to Lalande's symphonies and in that respect it is a clear alternative to Reyne's readings.

15th March 2015

The harpsichordist and editor Jörg Jacobi has fashioned authentic, colourful five-part textures from surviving, mostly two-part scores. The result is music of magnificence and touching eloquence.

19th April 2015

There are touching and lively dances and airs, a wistful, bassoon-led trio and a noble passacaglia...the deft wind playing is preferable to the rather bulging string sound. Inspired by the river Elbe, this Hamburg ensemble under Jürgen Gross flows well.

7th March 2015

I’m amazed that Louis and his court didn’t abandon their nosh and start dancing, so entrancing, nimble and lyrical is the music. It has been recorded here (by excellent Hamburg-based musicians) for the first time with reconstructions of its original inner instrumental lines. A feast indeed.
