Josef Klicka: Organ Works - Michel Estellet-Brun


eac-rip: flac-img, cue, log, complete scans. rar, 3% rec.
1 CD - 302MB
2006 - ALPHA 106


Recorded on the Stoltz-Dargassies organ of the church of St Joseph-des-Nations in Paris, Klicka's organ works express not only his suffering at Bohemia's fate, but also his love for the folk tunes of his native land. The influence of Liszt and Smetana can be felt, and some textures call to mind Brahms. His melodies have very strong emotive power and his expressive harmonies are typical of Eastern Europe. The organist Michel Estellet-Brun has been familiar with works of Klicka for several decades: almost forty years ago, during the Communist era, a Slovak publisher risked imprisonment to send him a bundle of scores by this composer. Michel Estellet-Brun transcribed the manuscript of Klicka's Fantasy and Fugue in C minor and arranged his Legenda in D minor (originally for harmonium) for the organ. He also gave the first performances of the composer's Fantasy on the St Wenceslas chorale at Notre Dame, Paris, St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and in the Basilica at Olomouc (Czech Republic). Recorded on 19 January 2006 in the church of St Joseph-des-Nations, Paris Recording and editing: Hugues Deschaux arkivmusic.com

LIVING CONCERT SERIES Vol. 8
High Definition Master Recording

The LIVING CONCERT SERIES embodies, in a very special way, the basic concept behind ACOUSENCE's PHILOSOPHY-LABEL. These music recordings are planned to provide, aside from exceptional musical content and an audiophile sound quality, above all, emotionally intense performances. The spontaneity and naturalness of a live performance, combined with a highly refined recording technique, that is capable of transmitting the smallest of sound-nuances, so essential in portraying atmosphere and emotional content, provide a true »Concert« experience.

Acousence has assembled a fascinating program of French music here, recorded live in their Living Concert Series by a distinguished German orchestra among whose past highlights was the original premiere of Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony.  Jolivet was interested in non-European music and used the influences of three world music models in the three movements of his concerto: Central African in the first, Far Eastern in the second, and Polynesian in the third. The work is strong on percussion and has great vitality. The clean reproduction of the 96K DVD brings out the varied percussion instruments and rhythms, and the balance with the piano soloist is just right... audaud.com
