New Artist Announcement
CLB France annonce la représentation pour le monde de Quatuor TANA :
Quatuor TANA, un quatuor à cordes spécialiste de musique contemporaine. Basé en Belgique, le répertoire du quatuor est sans frontière géographique, stylistique et historique. Son goût prononcé pour la création ne l'empêche pas de se produire dans des répertoires plus classiques dans des lieux et festivals renommés. Sa maîtrise musicale et technique en font une des formations les plus prometteuses de leur génération, et même visionnaires avec, par exemple, l'adoption définitive d'I-Pads en guise de partitions. Un vrai ensemble du XXIème siècle! -
New Artist Announcement
CLB France annonce la représentation pour le monde de Ensemble Correspondances.
Ensemble Correspondances est bien le 'Rising Star' de la musique française baroque, ayant montré son excellence dans les deux enregistrements parus chez Zig-Zag Territoires, O Maria (musique de Charpentier) et l'Archange et le Lys (musique de A. Boësset). Sébastien Daucé, son Directeur Artistique, claveciniste, organiste et musicologue de formation, ne tarit pas d'énergie pour redécouvrir des partitions de Charpentier dont il dit qu'à peine 40% a été rejouée depuis la mort du compositeur français. -

Alexandre Tharaud
Alexandre received a fantastic review of his recent recital at Le Poisson Rouge in the New York Times. Anthony Tommisini, chief music critic, described his five Scarlatti sonatas as “exquisite, crisp and beautifully textured”, and noted that the normally informal venue audience were “exceptionally quiet and palpably absorbed” throughout the evening.

Yossif Ivanov
Last month saw the release of 75 Years Ysaÿe & Queen Elisabeth Violin Competition, a 4CD anniversary box set containing 8 of the most celebrated violin concertos performed by some of the laureates who have made their mark on the history of the Competition. Yossif is featured, playing Shostakovich – Concerto no. 1. Yossif took part in the prestigious competition, which is held in his home country Belgium, in 2005, coming 2nd overall. -
Pražák Quartet
The Pražák Quartet welcome the release of two new discs this month, both recorded exclusively for Praga Digitals. The purest version of the seven sermons, Joseph Haydn: The Seven Last Words of our saviour on the cross demonstrates the Quartet's finesse with the great Classical master's intricate and devoted style, while Arnold Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire offers a fine contrast in genre and substance, allowing the Quartet to express a more modern vibe by channeling Schoenberg's variety of musical influences to create a rich and dramatic atmosphere.
Both are available to purchase at the Harmonia Mundi Store. -
