| |  | Impressions françaisesMusic for Flute
‘Juliette Hurel performs them with technical assurance and a fine sense of style, in which sparing use of vibrato is only one of the positive elements.’ Gramophone ‘Transparency, light, colours, tenderness, melancholy: all these come to mind when I try to pin down what I mean by “French impressions”. With its gentle, rich, sensuous and vivid sound, the flute is for me the perfect instrument for this repertoire. I have long wanted to record the works assembled here in the company of my dear friends. I am delighted to present them to you now.’ Juliette Hurel For her third recording on Zig-Zag Territoires, Juliette Hurel offers us a journey through the French masterpieces for flute of the first half of the twentieth century, including Poulenc’s Flute Sonata, Debussy’s Sonata for flute, viola and harp, Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune and Syrinx, and Fauré’s Sicilienne and Berceuse. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Albrecht Mayer: Bonjour Paris
Albrecht Mayer, principal oboe of the Berlin Philharmonic, celebrates a lifelong passion for France with this album of popular melodies, including favourites by Debussy, Fauré, and Ravel — plus the world-premiere recording of the impressionistic Été. “Mayer produces a velvety, ravishing sound of sensual purity. The authentic Gallic oboe tone is more nasal and plangent than Mayer's blemishless stream of eloquence, but when the results are so alluring I can't imagine anyone worrying unduly...Mayer sustains an astonishing level of musical poise, shaping every phrase to golden perfection.” Classic FM Magazine, June 2011 **** “Gotthard Odermatt's Été is a delightful modern piece in the style of Ravel at his most pastoral.” The Independent, 25th February 2011 *** | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Fauré - Music for Cello and Piano
Fauré: | Sicilienne, Op. 78 Cello Sonata No. 2 in G minor, Op. 117 Après un rêve, Op. 7 No. 1 (arr. Pablo Casals) Élégie in C minor, Op. 24 Romance in A major for cello & piano, Op. 69 Berceuse, Op. 16 (arr. for cello and piano) Papillon, Op. 77 Sérénade, Op. 98 Cello Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 109 Pavane, Op. 50 (arr. H. Busser) |
Ina-Esther Joost Ben-Sasson (cello) & Allan Sternfield (piano) Fauré’s musical language bridged a gap between 19th-century Romanticism and the music that appeared with the new century, developing and evolving, but retaining its own fundamental characteristics. His gift for melody, subtle harmonic idiom, judicious and highly personal use of contemporary innovations make for enriching listening, whether in the popular Sicilienne, Pavane and other short pieces or in his two tuneful and impeccably crafted Cello Sonatas. Since receiving top prizes, including the Diploma of the Tchaikovsky Competition, Moscow, and First Prize of the International Cello Competition Belgrade, Ina-Esther Joost Ben-Sasson has been in high demand as a soloist all over the world. | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
