Info for Walckiers l'iconoclaste. Chamber Works

Unjustly forgotten, Eugène Walckiers left some extraordinary chamber music works that are amazingly theatrical and lyrical, and constantly full of humour.

Behind hints of Beethoven, Rossini, Berlioz or Mendelssohn, with a touch of folk music here and there, we perceive the mischievous personality of an unclassifiable, iconoclastic and irresistible composer. Alexis Kossenko and a group of exceptional soloists revive these treasures, for the most part recorded here for the first time, with relish and enthusiasm.

Alexis Kossenko
Born in 1977 in Nice, Alexis Kossenko found his way to music at an early age and studied in Paris and Amsterdam. Today he is in demand as a conductor and flutist throughout Europe. As a conductor specializing in baroque music, he has worked with the European Union Baroque Orchestra, B'Rock, Le Concert d'Astrée and the Holland Baroque Society, among others. He is particularly closely associated with the Ensemble Arte dei Suonatori, as well as with the orchestra Les Ambassadeurs, which he founded in 2010.

As a flutist, the winner of the Jean-Pierre Rampal Competition has performed at the Berlin Philharmonie, Wigmore Hall and Royal Albert Hall, the Tonhalle Zurich and the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, among others, and has been a member of leading ensembles such as Concert Spirituel, Gli Angeli Genève and the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées under Philippe Herreweghe. He has performed under conductors such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Valery Gergiev and John Eliot Gardiner. His extensive repertoire ranges from Vivaldi and Carl Nielsen to contemporary works. Of his more than 50 CDs, several have won awards.

In 2019, Alexis Kossenko was appointed Musical Director of the baroque ensemble "Grande Écurie et la Chambre du Roy", with which he is an essential part of the French early music scene. Thanks to his services to the work of Jean-Phillippe Rameau, he was appointed to the Honorary Committee of the Société Rameau in 2021 - a wonderful expertise: having already conducted Rameau's Comédie-ballet 'Les Paladins' in Oldenburg in 2019, Kossenko returns to the Staatstheater in the 21/22 season for the German premiere production of Rameau's last tragédie 'Les Boréades'.
