Info for Brahms: Cello Sonatas Nos 1 , 2 & 6 Hungarian Dances

Brahms und die Poesie der Cellosonate: Alexandre Tharaud und Jean-Guihen Queyras.

Konzerte, Solowerke, Alben über die strengen Grenzen der Klassik hinaus: Der Pianist Alexandre Tharaud ist sicher einer der vielseitigsten Virtuosen seines Instruments. Doch die Kammermusik ist auf seiner Erato-Diskografie noch nicht vertreten. Bis jetzt: Zusammen mit dem renommierten Cellisten und Tharaud-Landsmann Jean-Guihen Queyras widmet er sich jetzt bedeutendem Kernrepertoire dieses Genres. Auf dem Programm des gemeinsamen Albums stehen die beiden Cellosonaten von Johannes Brahms, flankiert von einer selbst arrangierten Auswahl aus den Ungarischen Tänzen.

Brahms‘ Cellosonaten gelten als große Beispiele der Gattung in der Nachfolge Ludwig van Beethovens. Wie auf dem Gebiet der Sinfonie oder der Klaviersonate hat der große ‚Erneuerer‘ auch hier Maßstäbe gesetzt. Brahms gelang dies mit seinen Opera 38 und 99, die im Abstand von zwanzig Jahren entstanden. Auf der Basis von Brahms so altmeisterlicher Beherrschung des Handwerks stellen diese eine große Vereinigung klassischer Ausdruckskraft und romantischer Poesie dar. Konzertgängern sind Tharaud und Queyras als Kammermusikduo längst ein Begriff. Die beiden Künstler bringen in dieses Album ihre große Erfahrung als Kammermusiker ein, zu der auch die historisch informierte Aufführungspraxis gehört. Frei von romantischem Schwulst finden die beiden Musiker hochexpressive Emphase, Klangzauber und eine Fülle an Ausdruckskraft in einem eher an klassischer Tradition ausgerichteten Brahms.

Alexandre Tharaud
For Harmonia Mundi, Alexandre made a series of successful and award winning recordings which included discs of Rameau, Ravel (complete piano works), Bach (Italian Concerti), Couperin, Satie. He has recorded a series of Chopin discs; the complete waltzes and twenty four preludes as well as a personal selection, Journal Intime, which marked his first release with EMI Classics. Subsequent, award winning releases include JS Bach’s keyboard concertos and a selection of Scarlatti’s sonatas.

In recent seasons, Alexandre has appeared at the Köln Philharmonie, Bern Casino, Essen Philharmonie, South Bank piano series, Rudolfinum in Prague, Krakow Philharmonic, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Cité de la Musique, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, John F Kennedy Centre and Hoam Art Hall in Seoul. His festival credits include ‘Piano aux Jacobins', La Roque d'Anthéron, BBC PROMS, Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music, Sacrum-Profanum in Krakow, Schleswig-Holstein and the Rimini festival.

Alexandre is a Resident Artist at the MC2 in Grenoble, and was the Artistic Director of the Amadeus festival in Switzerland in 2011.

As a soloist, Alexandre has performed with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Münchner Rundfunkorchester, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio-France, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre National de Lyon, Orchestre National de Lille, Orchestre National de Bordeaux-Aquitaine, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Orquestra Sinfonica do Estado de Sao Paulo, Umea Symphony Orchestra, Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Saarbrücken,

Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Taïwan National Symphony Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Les Violons du Roy and the Bolchoi Theatre Orchestra. Next season will see him perform Poulenc’s concerto with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

His close collaboration with cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras has led to invitations to perform at the most prestigious halls around the world and recordings of three successful CDs (Hungarian cello music, Arpeggione, Debussy/Poulenc).

Alexandre's adventurous approach to programming has resulted in a number of commissions and premières; he has toured extensively in Europe with his ‘Hommages à Rameau' and ‘Hommage à Couperin' programmes which feature works by the old masters interwoven with tributes by contemporary composers. May saw the premiere of Pianosong; a selection of contemporary works composed after popular songs from the 1960s-80s. He has also just premiered French composer Gérard Pesson’s new piano concerto, together with the Tonhalle.
