Description
For the fourth solo album by pianist Elodie Vignon on Cypres, we have long been dreaming of a recording with orchestra! And so begins this fruitful collaboration with Eric Lederhandler, head of the Czech Virtuosi ensemble, of which he has been guest conductor for the past twenty years. Just as Elodie Vignon's first three albums which weave links between music and poetry, this one presents a unique programme, designed by Elodie and Eric to give pride of place to both orchestra and piano.
Manuel de Falla's Nuits dans les jardins d'Espagne quickly established itself as a masterpiece, combining finesse with the need to translate popular Spanish folklore with wit. They are an evocation of Andalusia, and more particularly of gypsy music. Gabriel Faure's Ballade pour piano et orchestra adds a touch of French Romanticism to this programme.
Leader of the Finnish national school, Jean Sibelius appears here in two different guises through symphonic pieces, ranging from the most exalted Retour de Lemminkainen to the most intimate of The Bard.
