I went through the Supraphon sale items at Europadisc, opened everything that sounded cool in a new tab, and now I'm going through streaming them all online instead of buying them.

Prompted by an essay by Louis-René des Forêts (included in the volume pictured above), published shortly thereafter in La Nouvelle Revue Française, I'm recreating the concert held by the Domaine Musical in Salle Gaveau in Paris on November 10, 1956, under the title « Conjonction Stravinsky - Webern ».

The programme was the following :

Stravinsky: Chorale Variations "Vom Himmel hoch da komm' ich her", Trois poèmes de la lyrique japonaise, Canticum Sacrum. Webern: Concerto for Nine Instruments, op. 24, Cantata No. 2, op. 31.

I'm using recordings made by the Domaine around the date of the concert, or some years later. Jésus Aguila's book Le Domaine Musical says that all works were conducted by Robert Craft on that occasion, but from Des Forêts' text one would think he only took care of the Stravinsky works.

- Chorale Variations: Chorale Élisabeth Brasseur, Orchestre du Domaine Musical, Robert Craft.
- Trois poèmes... : Christiane Eda-Pierre (sop.), Ensemble du Domaine Musical, Gilbert Amy.
- Canticum Sacrum: Jean Giraudeau (ten.), Xavier Depraz (bar.), Chorale Élisabeth Brasseur, Orchestre du Domaine Musical, Robert Craft.

All on this CD:



- Concerto, op. 24: Ensemble du Domaine Musical, Gilbert Amy.



- Cantata No. 2: Ilona Steingruber (sop.), Xavier Depraz (bar.), Chorale Élisabeth Brasseur, Orchestre du Domsine Musical, Pierre Boulez.

CD 7 of this set:


Less than 60' of music in total, but of overwhelming quality and intensity! A beautiful programme.... 

[Karl Henning]

A great piece I don't listen to very often.

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

A great piece I don't listen to very often.

Lovely, Karl. The usual Fauré discmate, the Duruflé Requiem, is also a gorgeous piece.

[ritter]

A great piece I don't listen to very often.

And Florent Schmitt's Scherzo in memoriam Fauré on that disc is a riot (and as un-Fauréan as you can imagine)...

Good evening, Karl.
