New release

MARCEL DUPRÉ.
PIANO AND CHAMBER MUSIC.
See back cover for details.
Recorded on 19–20 December 2022 (chamber works, Préludes, Quatre pièces Nos. 1, 3 and 4) and 15 January 2024 (Quatre pièces No. 2, Élévation) in the Prudence Myer Studio, Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, Southbank, Melbourne.

Pretty special Chamber music by Marcel Dupre, for it is seldom recorded. I do not like his many Organ compositions but his Chamber music is very much to my liking. Well performed and recorded.

Jean-Pierre Collot plays Jean Barraqué's Sonate pour piano (plus miscellaneous short pieces).

[pjme]

Basarab's Rhapsody (never heard anything like this, which means it is exactly what I want to hear)

Now you made me very curious:

Good wild & busy fun in the best Romanian style....!

[Mandryka]

As @Lisztianwagner and @Der lächelnde Schatten hsve already said, the Gielen - SWR set does not include the 70s Moses und Aron (my introduction to the work on LP, BTW), as that is a Philips recording, and the SWR set are Southwest German radio recordings.

What many don't remember these days is that Gielen's Moses und Aron is actually the soundtrack to the film by Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub. I have that on DVD, and shoul watch it sometime soon.

Notice how the producers of the movie didn't give a hoot about Schoenberg's triskaidekaphobia. 

Superb film IMO.

[Florestan]

Now you made me very curious:

Good wild & busy fun in the best Romanian style....!

The other pieces are just as fun.
