Description
A cellist "with a rich imagination and a keen mind" Diapason, France.
Cellist Cameron Crozman returns with a new recording of Joseph Haydn's Cello Concertos No's 1 and 2 and Jacques Hetu's Rondo for Cello and String Orchestra, Op 9. He joins Les Violons du Roy conducted by Nicolas Ellis.
Long thought lost, Haydn's Cello Concerto in C was rediscovered in 1961 at the National Museum in Prague. According to the eminent Haydn scholar H. C. Robbins Landon, it is "a major discovery of our time, and surely one of the finest works of the period". The concerto in D major was long attributed to Anton Kraft, and it wasn't until 1951 that the discovery of an autograph manuscript finally did justice to Haydn, its true author.
Completed in 1965, Jacques Hetu's Rondo for Cello and String Orchestra, Op. 9, was premiered on Radio-Canada by cellist Arpad Szomoru and the Orchestre de chambre de la Societe Radio-Canada de Quebec. The Rondo is the first concerto work by Jacques Hetu, then aged 27. It demonstrates Hetu's taste for classical forms, his ability to highlight the strings, and his solid contrapuntal skills.
Cameron Crozman regularly appears in recital and as a soloist with major orchestras in North America and Europe and shares the stage with world-renowned artists, including James Campbell, James Ehnes, Augustin Hadelich, and Andre Laplante. Les Violons du Roy takes its name from the celebrated court orchestra of the French kings. Established in 1984 by Bernard Labadie, it continues to explore the boundless repertoire of music for chamber orchestra in performances aligned as closely as possible to the period of each work's composition.
"Crozman contributes elegant phrasing, deft virtuosity, magical ways with appoggiaturas and trills, and wonderfully imaginative cadenzas that feel authentically reflective, spontaneous and, most important, thrilling. […] And it wouldn't be Haydn without a fortepianist like Mélisande McNabney adding substantially to the experience with her own magical flourishes of musical delight." – Gramophone/p>
