20th Century French Wind Trios

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This unique and wonderful collection is perfectly described by its title. We get the expected wit and charm from composers like Françaix, Milhaud, and Auric. But the collection is varied with the neoclassic snap of Tansman's Suite and the melancholy songfulness of the Bucolique variée by the little-known Paul Pierné, a cousin of the well-known Gabriel Pierné. And the lovely Rustiques by Canteloube makes one eager to hear more by this transcriber of the famous Songs of the Auvergne. The musicians, members of the Chicago Symphony, play superbly, and the long program (78:35) is very well recorded. The disc is a winner in every way. --Leslie Gerber

    Album Description

    An attractive and neglected area of 20th-century repertoire gets its due on this CD that toasts French composers and their delightful wind trios. On its second outing for Cedille Records, The Chicago Chamber Musicians -- in this instance, a subset comprising oboist Michael Henoch, clarinetist Larry Combs, and bassoonist William Buchman -- perform eight sparkling wind trios composed expressly for that instrumentation in the 1930s and 1940s by Paul Pierné (not his better-known cousin, Gabriel), Canteloube, Ibert, Milhaud, Tansman, Auric, and Françaix. Wind trios appealed to iconoclastic young French composers like "Les Six," a group that included Auric and Milhaud. They rebelled against Wagnerian romanticism and French impressionism. They turned for inspiration to provincial folk and dance tunes, late Baroque and early classicism, and the contemporary music hall. Prix-de-Rome winner Paul Pierné's pastoral Bucolique variée is a dreamy, wistful piece whose theme increases in complexity with each variation. Joseph Canteloube's colorful Rustiques, like his songs, bears the imprint of his beloved Auvergne region. Jacques Ibert's delightful Cinq pièces en trio are sparkling miniatures, with inviting tunes intricately intertwined. Darius Milhaud's sweetly playful Pastorale, Op. 147, evokes Provence's sun-soaked Mediterranean landscape, while his more formal Suite d'après Corrette, Op. 161, is a humorously distorted reflection on early 18th-century courtly dance. Alexandre Tansman's sophisticated Suite pour Trio d'Anches is arranged in slow-fast-slow-fast movements like a Baroque trio sonata. Georges Auric, a distinguished music critic as well as composer, wrote for ballet and film. The dancing, vibrantly rhythmic aspect of his style is apparent in the first movement of his sly, mischievous Trio. Jean Françaix is the "youngest" of the composers here and the only one still living. His warm, inviting, Divertissement is a four-movement, three-sided conversation that reaches a light-hearted, virtuosic conclusion.
