About

Composer, conductor and organist Gabriel Pierné wrote in a wide variety of genres, from operator pieces for solo piano. His orchestral music for the stage shows the utmost refinement and clarity as well as wit and charm in the finest French tradition. His colorful and evocative score for Ramuntcho is rich in Basque flavor with zortzico dance rhythms and village dances, all beautifully textured. Set in the 18th century, the ballet Cydalise et le Chèvre-pied reveals the full range of his inventive scoring, which remains chamber music-like in its finesse.

**** Excellent Album

Jacques Bonnaure – Classica (France) – April 2022

“… The music is full of colour, life and variety, the extracts from the ballet rather more lavishly scored and exotic than those from the incidental music, but all of it marked by a strong command of orchestral colour, a clear-sighted narrative thread and a highly-inventive streak which means that every individual piece stands out as a distinct and enthralling musical picture. That sense of drawing the listener in to a world of imagination and colour is greatly heightened by Singaporean conductor Darrell Ang’s approach, which does not linger over the minutiae of intricate inner detail, but paints broad brushstrokes with the moments to savour well projected. The Lille orchestral players respond well to this over-arching approach and come up with some enthralling playing, all of which is generously recorded here.”

Marc Rochester – MusicWeb-International.com – 11 February 2022

“… Attractive scores performed with brio and sensitivity… the engineering is first rate and the playing a consistent joy.”

Nick Barnard – MusicWeb-International.com – 14 January 2022

"... this new recording recording provides an excellent introduction to the composer's music."

Christian Hoskins - Gramophone magazine - January 2022
