Emmanuel Chabrier Suite Pastorale

[@keith382]

I have just discovered Chabrier. Thank you, Gerard, for your explanation. I now understand why this work is a 'suite'.

[@billgrange3189]

I like this music immensely. Beautiful evocation of countryside without being mawkish.

[@JishiChan]

The second movement is just too lovely!

[@Jimyblues]

It’s humorous and beautiful so well orchestrated Ty

[@andrewpetersen5272]

Genius in all ways.

MrVektriol, you had me at Raoul Dufy watercolor! Fine taste in art.

[@TiticatFollies]

Lovely orchestration. I usually prefer solo works, but these are complete and satisfying. Thank you.

[@williametheridge1764]

Magic

[@eduardolemossouza4087]

thanks for sharing, MrVektriol; it's breathtaking.

[@gerardbegni2806]

This is an orchestration by Chabrier of a bunch of the most 'pastoral' of his 10 'pièces pittoresques' to form a "suite pastorale". Chabrier had a genius for the orchestra, so these pieces find a new life under their orchestral trimming. The suite is composed a posteriori, of course, but the succession of movements is convincing.

Wow!! Now that's a comment..!!

[@gerardbegni2806]

Thanks !!!!

[@eduardolemossouza4087]

merci beaucoup pour la información, Monsieur Begni.

[@abkquan]

Yes, like Ravel who orchestrated most of his own piano pieces, Chabrier's orchestration is without fail delightfully idiomatic.

[@andrewpetersen5272]

One need only listen to this and Le Roi Malgre Lui to realize what a versitile master of orchestration Chabrier was. He was a great and perceptive devotee of the visual arts as well. One of my very favored composers!

Neat Orchestration 😢

[@pawdaw]

Did Mahler know this music? I feel the Danse villageoise is referenced in the third movement of the Ninth Symphony.

[@Retroscoop]

Hey this is quite a discovery for me ! Note to myself: Needs further exploration !

[@msaeki]

I can’t believe this is a Naxos recording!

[@MrVektriol]

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. What about Naxos?

[@msaeki]

MrVektriol Often I don’t like orchestral recordings from Naxos, they sound mechanical. This recording is a nice surprise.

[@andrewpetersen5272]

@@msaeki Mechanical? How? Check out the Finzi Cello Concerto recording is out of this world. Find the time to generalize less

Poor Freddy, how long have you been deaf?

[@andrewpetersen5272]

Freddy must be a Bruckner or Reger fan.

You one crazy bitch. 🤪

[@victormendes583]

​@@andrewpetersen5272 Bruckner is really great, but overrated. I hope that persons will like he one day (or not).
