  • Description

    The French violinist Hugues Borsarello draws this programme of miniatures from the repertory of his instrument and from the great operatic arias, transcribed for violin and orchestra: 'My idea was to relate a French history of music over the course of three centuries, in the form of short pieces.' Lully's Marche pour la ceremonie des Turcs rubs shoulders with arias by Bizet, Saint-Saens and Offenbach, Satie's Gymnopedie no.3 and Gounod's Ave Maria. All these universally known pieces 'are perfectly suited to the soul of the violin', says Borsarello, who is joined by prestigious guests: cellist Gautier Capucon for Vieuxtemps's Duo Brillant, guitarist Thomas Dutronc for Django Reinhardt's celebrated Nuages, pianist Frank Braley. And this programme doesn't neglect the classics of the violin, including Ysaye's magnificent Berceuse de l'enfant pauvre. Vieuxtemps's famous set of variations on Yankee Doodle is here performed for the first time in its version with orchestra.
