Soloists; Ivor Bolton - Chausson Sym No. 1; Viviane [CD]

Principal conductor Ivor Bolton will bid farewell to 'his' orchestra, the Basel Symphony Orchestra, in summer 2025 with a 'French' album. He will hand over the baton to his successor Markus Poschner for the new season. So as a farewell, here are symphonic and vocal works by Ernest Chausson.

The Symphony in B flat major recorded here is characterised by its lyrical melody and harmonic sophistication, which builds a bridge between romantic expressiveness and impressionistic sounds. By comparison, the vocal works also presented here, such as 'Viviane' or 'Helene', often have a more intimate, vocal quality that emphasises the human voice.

These differences illustrate Chausson's versatility as a composer and his ability to combine fascinating instrumentation with profound emotions in both instrumental and vocal music.
