  • Description

    In his Eventail de musique francaise, Swiss oboist and composer Heinz Holliger traverses a broad selection of French works for oboe and piano in a multichromatic programme of early 20th century music. As Holliger states in his liner note, "the closeness of the oboe to the human voice inspired my idea of opening up the richly coloured fan of French music through the still far too little known collection of Vocalises-Etudes." Contained in this wide-ranging recital are compositions by Ravel, Debussy, Milhaud, Saint-Saens, Casadesus as well as Koechlin, Jolivet and Messiaen - Holliger cultivated a personal relationship with several of the composers. On piano returns Anton Kernjak, who appeared on Holliger's 2014 recording Aschenmusik, while French harpist Alice Belugou comes in to play on Andre Jovilet's Controversia pour hautbois et harpe. The richness of the 20th century oboe-repertoire is on full display throughout and finds Holliger in engaging dialogues with piano and harp. Eventail follows the release of Heinz Holliger's multiple awards-winning large-scale opera Lunea from 2022.

    Heinz Holliger: oboe, Oboe d'amore
    Anton Kernjak: piano
    Alice Belugou: harp (Controversia)

    Beguiling lyricism is to the fore […]. One moment hauntingly veiled, the next chittering in the heights, sweetly singing before morphing into rasping pleas with no loss of line, Holliger's formidable technique and musicality are on full display." – BBC Music Magazine 5 STARS
