Dans ce magnifique lieu sacré et silencieux, 300 ans plus tard les notes de cet instrument hors du commun résonnent encore si riches en harmoniques et aux basses chaudes et profondes magistralement interprétées par une musicienne sensible comme Lucile Boulanger.

Review — Lucile Boulanger performing Solo works for Viola da gamba: 11 Solos by Carl Friedrich Abel (1723 – 1787), as well as the artist's own transcriptions of solo works by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)

BACH - ABEL // 'Preludio BWV 846/a - Arpeggio in D Minor, WK 205' by Lucile Boulanger

“This is Lucile Boulanger’s first solo recital. The French gambist, universally praised for her natural and moving playing – BBC Music Magazine even described her as ‘the Jacqueline du Pré of the viola da gamba’ – juxtaposes Bach with Carl Friedrich Abel, a great master of the bass viol and a close friend of the Bach family. Although Johann Sebastian never wrote for solo viola da gamba, we know that he transcribed many of his works for other instruments. So Lucile Boulanger has chosen, for example, to transcribe three dances from the Sixth Suite, ‘because it sounds particularly good on the viol, being written for five-stringed cello (a step towards the six or seven strings of the viol?). It is in D, the viol key par excellence, and its style, already somewhat galant, is reminiscent of Abel. . . . This album gives me the opportunity to showcase the viol as both a melodic instrument – with the grain of the bow, the fragility of tone – and a polyphonic one.”

Review of “Bach-Abel: Solo.” Lucile Boulanger, viola da gamba. Alpha Classics 783

Regular readers of Classical Candor may be forgiven for not being familiar with Lucile Boulanger or, for that matter, with the viola da gamba. Indeed, I would venture to say that many readers of this blog have, at most, only a nodding acquaintance with the instrument and not even that with the artist. Although Lucile Boulanger has some half dozen recordings to her credit, and thus is hardly a rookie, I was unable to find any previous reviews in Classical Candor of discs by her – and not many elsewhere for that matter.

10 CHOSES A RETENIR DU DERNIER WEEK END EXCITANT DE L`ANNEE.

Il y a évidemment le week-end du 28/29 décembre où tous les coureurs vont essayer de se motiver à aller courir entre deux coupes de champagne, mais nous traiterons ici le dernier week-end SPORTIF intéressant de l’année.

1) Elise Poncet est vice-championne du monde de course en montagne. Si quelqu’un a parié sur sa médaille d’argent, cette personne est désormais aux Seychelles en train de siroter un délicieux cocktail à base de papaye et d’ananas sur une plage paradisiaque. Chapeau Elise.

2) L’équipe féminine est championne du monde par équipe grâce aux résultats des autres machines. Evidemment, cette équipe sera reçue à l’Elysée entre deux interviews pour les grandes chaînes de notre beau pays. 

3) La cinquième place de la machine Alexandre Fine. Le boulanger s’est mué en boucher pour s’adjuger une place aussi stylée qu’une veste en daim. Et c’est pas rien. 

4) L’absence des coureurs Africains, apparement bloqués pour des histoires de visa. Ce championnat du monde a donc ressemblé à un match USA / Europe. On aurait pu croire que c’était la Ryder Cup, mais sans les Porsche et les Rolex.

5) Le titre de champion du monde de Jim Walmsley sur le format longue distance. Le type a torché l’affaire en 3h12 pour 40 bornes (41,5 selon les organisateurs, environ 40 selon les GPS). Oui, c’est indécent.

6) Les larmes de Francesco Puppi. 4ème des championnats du monde de trail plus tôt dans l'année, le rital aux cheveux longs (c’est un pléonasme) déboule juste après l’ami Jim. Mais quand on dit juste après c’est juste après. 48 secondes, peu pour certains mais une éternité pour d’autres.

7) L’absence d’un plateau digne de ce nom. En gros c’est comme si t’allais dans un restaurant pour manger une raclette et accessoirement te péter le bide et que le serveur apporte un morceau à partager en six. C’est bien, mais pas suffisant.

8) La victoire de l’équipe féminine sur le format long. Là encore, la légion d’honneur attend Adeline, Blandine, Sarah et Lucille juste après la photo pour la une de l’Équipe. 

9) La superbe victoire de l’ami Sébastien Spehler chez les ricains au TNF 50 de San Francisco. Plus de 12km/h sur un trail de 80 bornes, fallait pas le chauffer. Après sa 2ème place au Lake Sonoma 50 en début d’année, les hipsters à moustaches qui parlent avec un accent incompréhensible vont sérieusement commencer à le détester. Very bien Seb but you need apprendre l’english maintenant.

10) Thibaut Garrivier qui talonne comme un furieux pour se classer 3ème. Aux dernières nouvelles, le pont du Golden Gate est en délicatesse et, par sécurité, a été fermé à la circulation.

Voilà. Allez maintenant go les huîtres pas fraîches et le pinard premier prix.
