French Concertos for Two Pianos

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
The Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra by Francis Poulenc, composed in 1932, is clearly one of the most popular works of this relatively rare genre. Poulenc’s love for the classical composers, especially for Mozart, is in abundant evidence here. Brilliantly sparkling wit, pointedness, and virtuosity make this concerto a listening feast. The Genova & Dimitrov Piano Duo presents this work on this new CD featuring three works of French provenance, since Darius Milhaud and Robert Casadesus also wrote double piano concertos. What unites the three composers is a shared aesthetic standpoint deeply rooted in neoclassicism, and what Milhaud described as the ingredients of his music applies to all three works on this spirited CD: "Clarity, soberness, lightness, moderate romanticism, sense for the proportions of the outlines, and aspiration to express oneself clearly, simply, and succinctly." Voilà, the recipe for brilliant entertainment can be so easy!

5 out of 5 stars These Will Lift Anyone's Spirits.......2004-12-09

What a wonderful idea someone at cpo had--to record the three most famous French concertos for two pianos and orchestra, those of Poulenc, Milhaud and Robert Casadesus. I'm almost certain these three works have never appeared together before, although each has been recorded separately. The three works share a sensibility that is unmistakably twentieth-century French. But they also have stylistic differences that are immediately apparent. The 1932 Poulenc concerto has a brash wit that is unique to him, but it also shows a side of him that helps, these days, to make him one of France's most popular composers (and, I'm old enough to remember when Poulenc was considered a complete lightweight) and that's the middle movement, one of almost childlike, even Mozartean, simplicity that has the ability to tug at one's emotions. The outer movements are classically designed but impart a spirit of the boulevardier that mark them out as Poulenc at his naughtiest. I wouldn't want to give up my old LP of Poulenc and his longtime friend, Pierre Dervaux, playing this concerto, with Georges Prêtre conducting (which I believe is available as a remastered CD), but I must say that Piano Duo Genova & Dimitrov do an equally fine job and in modern sound.

Robert Casadesus is remembered, of course, primarily as a very fine pianist--indeed, he was included in the 200 CD Philips 'Great Pianists of the Twentieth Century' collection--but he was also a good composer, in a neoclassic French style. He wrote this concerto for him and his wife, Gaby, to play; they premièred it in Warsaw in 1934 and they recorded it later. I knew and loved that recording but I don't think it has ever made it to CD. The work is in Casadesus's fairly easily recognizable style that features fluid jeu des perles fingerwork and modal harmonies. There are many lightning fast scalar passages for the pianists in tight thirds and sixths that make one gasp, in this recording, at the almost inhuman synchronization required. The second movement, almost Ravelian in its reticence, features a rocking motion and an oh-so-French oboe solo (and the SWR Rundfunk Orchestra's principal oboist manages to sound like a French player here). The finale has a dance-inflected ostinato that underpins intentionally awkward-sounding presto figures in fourths for the pianists. The harmonies give the piece an ancient feel while still imparting a twentieth-century impatience. All done with admirable wit.

For me, the most endearing of these concerti (much as I love the other two) is the Milhaud. It has been widely recorded and is occasionally heard in concert. Well known duos like the Contiguglia brothers and the Labecque sisters have played it widely. My favorite recording up to now has been that of James Anagnoson and Leslie Kinton on the CBC label. But this performance trumps them, I believe. First, there are the marvelously tuned and regulated pianos; the recorded sound is fabulous. Then there is the hair-trigger accompaniment provided by Alun Francis and his radio orchestra from Kaiserslauten. There isn't anything I don't like about this performance. But especially I respond to the extra pizzazz given Milhaud's trademarked excursions into Brazilian rhythms--thank goodness for that trip he took to Brazil with Paul Claudel in 1918--and I expect you, like I, may be making like Carmen Miranda during those passages. There are also some harmonies I'd swear Milhaud stole from Gershwin; well maybe they were simply in the air and after all he had written the jazzy 'Le Création du Monde' and 'La Boeuf sur le Toit' twenty years earlier. The second movement, which is a good deal more serious, even melancholy, has always moved me. I am intrigued by the booklet writer's speculation that it reflects Milhaud's feelings of being confined to a wheelchair by his arthritis. Whatever the facts, it does convey a kind of heavy sadness that I respond to, and yet I'm always able afterwards to feel the urge to leap out of my chair and dance to the third movements whirlwind rhythms.

Piano Duo Genova & Dimitrov is a team I'd not encountered before. They are Aglika Genova and Liuben Dimitrov and apparently came together in Hanover in 1995. A look on the Internet tells me they have made a number of other recordings before this one. They certainly have the goods.

Recommended. As I said in the title of this review, these performances will lift your spirits.

5 out of 5 stars Great Performance.......2005-05-12

Richard Strauss' concertos date back to his earlier days and one can easily sense the youth and the freshness in these works.True to this concept,the artists featured on this disc have given the listeners a glimpse on the early style of Richard Strauss.The highlights are the performances of the Horn Concertos,which appeal to me as outstanding performances.But the other works,notably the Violin and Oboe Concertos are also excellently performed.The recording quality is not that excellent,making some notes blend together,but in overall worth-collecting performances.

3 out of 5 stars Poor recording quality.......2002-01-13

While the interpretation of these pieces are just fine--very good even--the impact is totally ruined by the poor recording quality, particularily on the Burleske. Hissing is loud and grainy, echos blur the sound together, and little pops and clicks are alarmingly common. If you care to rip the tracks and remaster them manually then this CD is worth your time, especially for the horn concertos, since the Herman Baumann versions of the horn concertos are very hard to find now, especially the second. If you just want the CD for a CD player, then I recommend finding another CD.

5 out of 5 stars Great interpretations.......2001-12-03

This CD is great! It is certainly one of my favorites, and I come back to it again and again for great listening. The horn concertos, here performed by Tuckwell, are wonderful pieces all on their own, and coupled with Tuckwell's incredible virtuosity, they make for a fantastic listening experience. The Burleske for Piano and Orchestra is an equally charming piece, here done quite well. The Duett-Concertino and the Violin Concerto are also performed splendidly, the former being an almost comic representation of the Clarinet and Bassoon's innate qualities. The oboe concerto, played expertly by Gordon Hunt, is a fantastic piece. The gorgeous orchestrations and somewhat unusual chord progressions highlight this CD beautifully. The only small criticism I could offer would be Hunt's interpretation of the cadenzas; they are taken a bit too fast, so that the notes almost blur together. Besides that small factor, though, this piece and this CD are an excellent buy, and are a must-have for the Strauss lover.

4 out of 5 stars Tuckwell Does a Great One on This Album.......2001-02-23

While in most instances I do not care for Tuckwell's style of playing, I must say that after hearing him play the Franz Strauss Concerto I was quite impressed. He adds delicate phrasing to the little-known concerto and it (out of the few cd publications of this piece) is the best recording I have heard of the work. I would advise any horn admirer to purchase this one.
