JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
Le Musicien-Poète
(The Poet-Musician)
François Ménissier at the Silbermann organ, Église de Saint-Thomas
(Strasaabourg, France).
François Ménissier, in highlighting the sonorities of one of the
most beautiful Alsatian instruments, proves that he has great sensitivity
and a dazzling mastery of the organ. In following this soon-to-be 100
year old tradition, the celebration of the 28th of July, the day of Bach's death, he shows us the vitality and constant renewal
of the young French organist's approach to Bach.

Les Witches FORTUNE
Works by Brade, Simpson, Dowland, Morley, Plaford as well as anonymous composers...
The Witches: Claire Michon, baroque flute Pascale Boquet, lute
Freddy Eichelberger, virginal Odile Edouard, violin.
"Masques, ayres, ballad tunes and dances mingle with each other in an unbridled
rhythm" (Diapason). "Dances for nymphs, satyrs, witches and the Furies are each given their turn
in this recording" (Répertoire).
Parodies, exact quotations, laughter, fright, improvisations, emotions and diversions
make up the magic ingredients of this recording of music from the time
of Shakespeare.
ref : HORTUS 010
BACH à Weimar
(Bach at Weimar)
Vincent Genvrin at the Grenzing organ of the Conservatoire National Supérieur
de Musique in Lyons (France).
"A remarkable recording, unique in its genre ... Genvrin overflows with youthfulness
and brio" (Diapason).
These Leipzig chorales all have the distinctive feature of being presented in
their original version, as composed by J. S. Bach when he was a young
organist at Weimar. They reveal a composer full of youthful ardour.
ref : HORTUS 006
RETOUR DE BAYREUTH
(Return from Bayreuth)
Eleven improvisations on themes by Wagner. Loïc Mallié at the main Cavaillé-Coll organ of the Église
de la Sainte-Madeleine (Paris, France).
A veritable goldmine, the Wagnerian leitmotifs inspire Loïc Mallié's
free improvisations: a surprising meeting between the worlds of theatre
and organ.

THIERRY ESCAICH
Le Dernier Évangile Trois Danses Improvisées Poème Symphonique
Olivier Latry (organ), Ensemble orchestral de Paris, Maîtrise Notre-Dame
de Paris, Chur Britten, direction John Nelson
In addition to the programme : four improvisations on the great organ of Notre-Dame
by T. Escaich.
"The prosody is stunningly clear... the listener is caught by the spiritual strength
of this poetical anthem, swirled away in a maelstrom of music."
(Sylvain Gasser, Répertoire, Dec. 2002)
"In the beginning was the Word... From the very outset, Thierry Escaich sets
his distinctive mark: subtle, vigorous rhythm, subdivided into multiple
phrases sharing a common spirit. It all leads to a fascinating spatialization
of the choral masses, spread between orchestra (co Olivier Latry, galvanized,
perfectly at ease with this music) - a superb recording."
(Michel Roubinet, Diapason, Dec. 2002)

AMY | DARASSE | MESSIAEN Trois Inventions pour orgue Organum VIII Messe de la
Pentecôte
Recorded in Toulouse, St-Étienne Cathedral / Chapel of the Institut Catholique
/ Notre-Dame de la Dalbade
Dedicated to the memory of Xavier Darasse, Trois Inventions was premiered on
Nov. 22, 1995 in Toulouse, Saint-Étienne Cathedral, as part of
the concert series Les Arts Renaissants, for which it had been commissionned.
A revised version (2001) was premiered at the Lyon Festival of Sacred
Art by François Espinasse.
"A programme in which François Espinasse is perfectly at home and gives
his imagination free rein, superbly eloquent yet sober." (Diapason)
ref : HORTUS 025
Full Fathom Five Other Shakespeare songs
Chur de chambre Les Eléments, conducted by Joël Suhubiette
Corinne Durous, piano
"A splendid recording - possibly a new phase for Les Éléments.
The reserve of former releases (Fauré / Naïve) is gone.
The musical discourse has gained freedom and assurance. A must ! "
(Benoît Fauchet, Diapason, Apr. 2003)
"In his patient, unobtrusive way, Joel Suhubiette has contributed greatly to
the ongoing major transformation of choral singing in this country (...).
The release of Full Fathom Five, their CD dedicated to polyphonic settings
of Shakespearean poetry, attracted much attention. A beautiful rendition
of an unusual repertoire by one of the rare non-English ensembles to
dare tread on such territory."
(Renaud Machart, Le Monde, Jul. 2003)

TON-THAT TIÊT
Les Sourires de Bouddha
Chur de chambre Les Éléments, conducted by Joël Suhubiette
wels, sounds, invocations of Buddha under the names of Amitabha, Avalokita....
Using the voice as an instrument, the music unfolds and expands the
underlying theme of void and emptiness.
That Tiêt
"Joël Suhubiette and Les Éléments spare no effort to promote
modern music, creating contemporary pieces (giving a fascinating premiere
of Desenclos's Requiem, or Ton-That Tiêt's Sourires de Bouddha)
and programming a lesser-known repertoire (Vaughan-Williams's settings
of Shakespeare songs, for example) (all Hortus releases). What is their secret?
What could be more fascinating than suffusing a totally new piece
(Olivier Legay, La Tribune, Jun.
2003)

HORTUS VOLUPTATIS
Renaissance organs songs
Juliette Grellety-Bosviel, organ (Francheville, F)
Renaissance organ songs reflect the beautifully refined artistic atmosphere of
the time. 17th century organ music is deeply rooted in this repertoire,
which also inspired some of the greatest masses of the Baroque era.
A fundamental Renaissance legacy, never recorded before and brought
to light by HortusVoluptatis.
ref : HORTUS 029
MATER DULCISSIMA
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris
Gregorian choir, conducted by Sylvain Dieudonné Cathedral of Notre-Dame
de Paris
Enterely devoted to the Virgin Mary, this programme reflects a tradition of sacred
music which is very much kept alive at Notre-Dame de Paris. Various
forms of Gregorian chant (response Vidi speciosam, tropes, Introït Gaudeamus or proses Alleluia, Hodie), polyphonies (sequence Verbum Bonum and versus Praeconia virginis) and a monodie (liturgical drama In Annontiatione) contribute to the glorification and praise of the Mother of God and her Assumption.
This programme bears testimony to the musical and religious world from
which was to emerge, in this very cathedral, the very first school of
Western polyphony.

BRAHMS
Forte ma dolce
Complete organ works
François Ménissier, organ (Zaltbommel, NL & Schramberg, D)
Brahms's deep attachment to Clara Schumann may be the link that runs in filigree
through his organ music. The Preludes and Fugues, composed in his
early twenties, are the result of their common research on Bach's
contrapuntal style. Forty years later, no doubt much affected by Clara's
death, he turned again to the organ and wrote the Eleven Chorale preludes.
This was to be Brahms's opus ultimum: he died a few months later.
In spite of the long time span, Brahms's organ compositions show a rare coherence
- combining Romantic outbursts and Lutheran tradition - yet do not
reveal their secrets.
Particulat attention was paid to the texts of the chorale. An interpretation
of outstanding quality, on two very different instruments: an 18th
century otgan (Zaltbommel) and a Romantic organ (Schramberg).
ref : HORTUS 031 Total duration : 62"08'
JEAN-MARIE MACHADO
Leve, leve muito leve
Fernando Pessoa's musical dreams
Jean-Marie Machado, pianist: Riccardo Del Fra double bass: Andy Sheppard, sax:
Solistes de Lyon - Bernard Tétu, choir: EIA wind octet, conducted
by Eriv Villevière
"A melancholy piece, superbly orchestrated for woind octet, choir (cond.
Bernard Tétu), jazz musicians and singers. With its very "French"
yet original treatment of vocal parts, it light touch of madness,
and its beautiful melodic lines, this music is sure to appeal to the
listener."
(Vincent Lancrin, Classic, Dec. 2003)
