Jean Barrière - Sonatas for Cello & Bass Continuo

[@tšanchezt]

C’est une agréable surprise de rencontrer ce grand compositeur de musique baroque Français. Merveilleux, merci beaucoup.

[@eugenesheshenin2060]

French baroque music does elicit this poetic, mysterious and melancholic mood in the listener. It certainly happens to me practically every time. French baroque repertoire is my poison of choice. Intoxicating material and sensitive knowing performance. Bruno Cocset is a right man for this loveliness...

[@openmusic3904]

Same. There is a powerful and narcotic grandeur to French baroque music in combination with deeply moving emotional sensitivity. It is very unique in my opinion.

There's something uniquely beautiful about French Baroque music; poignancy and grandeur in equal proportions.

[@ianwilkinson4602]

There is something unique about French music full stop. I listen to all kinds of music from France and no matter the genre there is always a uniqueness to it, even their Metal and Prog.

[@artivism4068]

@@ianwilkinson4602 i absolutely agree, so much feeling, so much depth, despite the form..very few go deeper, in my.opinion I think of Debussy. Since you mentioned metal check out this little known 'metal band' called Les Discrets. I put metal in quotes cause theyre very progressive and combine different genres and styles so beautifully and its very French.

[@ianwilkinson4602]

Hello Jason, thank you for the comment, I have Les Discrets album Ariettes Ouble'es as a download off their bandcamp I think, quite gothic sounding at times, but I haven't really taken it in yet. I like RIO and Zeuhl, but not everything recorded, Magma have always been a favourite of mine, i like many French albums, in English, French or Kobaian or even Latin on one, possibly the art rock album "Mana Perdu" by Elohim is one of the top ones, and La Nature Vit by ORION, En Regardant Passer Le Temps by Carpe Diem, I could go on all night :-) at the moment I am listening and watching an ex-Art Zoid member Thierry Zaboiteff, the piece of music that started me off was from 2002 it is Missa Furiosa by Zaboitzeff and crew kzbin.info/www/bejne/in3TeGSZoJWVhM0 I think it is brilliant, am I mistaken? let me know what you think if you have the time. There are some outstanding French "metal" band, like TheRuins of Beverast { powerful and haunting}, OXXO XOOX , IGORRR [ they are one of a kind] and a number of spin off sise projects which are equally as good. Cheers and keep the faith.

[@tomekgnu]

Yes, that was the last gasp of "real France" - before the revolution turned its greatness into ashes...

[@MikeGaughan-jq4eq]

Seems like a long time since anyone commented on this post. Just wanted to say that this is a new composer to me and that I agree with all the comments below. Not sure yet whether this composer is hypnotic, melancholic, joyous, poetic, or just a part of an evolving tradition. My ignorance. But captivating it certainly is. And - happily addictive. Much love to all who appreciate this music and the brilliant performers who bring it back to life for us.

[@rogerbrisson2739]

Quelle belle époque pour cette musique qui me transporte! Superbe! Ça n'a pas d'âge!

[@eugenesheshenin2060]

Sophisticated lyricism of that music is driven by the just as much complex dynamics of liquid rhythmic structure and ever changing tonalities. This is truly french attitude for artistic expression - hidden complexity under deceptively straightforward harmonious sound and structure. But it never what it seems with french taste. Maitre Barriere is a premiere example of that particularity in french school. Oevre of Maitre Barriere requires a light agile hand, precise timing, stupendous bowing technique and judicially calibrated expressiveness of tone and volume even in its most dramatic episodes. That is why probably it is so rarely heard despite its mindboggling beauty. Bruno Cocset is a wonderful interpreter of this material - he posses the technique, musicality and sensitivity this music requires. Merci Maitre Barriere!

[@ianwilkinson4602]

In other words French baroque RULES uniquely.

Jean-Baptiste Barrière Dans les compositeurs oubliés Né à Bordeaux le 2 mai 1707, Décédé le 6 juin 1747 à Paris. Plus connu sous le nom de Jean Barrière. Barrière étudia d'abord la viole et publia un ensemble de sonates de viole. Avec le temps, cependant, il devint un adroit violoncelliste à une époque où le violoncelle en France était en train d'éclipser la viole en popularité avant de finir par la remplacer complètement, comme cela s'était d'ailleurs déjà produit en Italie 40 ans plus tôt. Il devint un virtuose du violoncelle, un des plus connus de son temps. En 1731 il alla à Paris et entra à l'Académie Royale de Musique, c'est-à-dire à l'Opéra, pour un salaire annuel de 445 livres. À Fontainebleau le Roi Louis XV lui accorda le 22 octobre 1733 des privilèges spéciaux pour composer et publier pendant six ans plusieurs sonates et d'autres travaux instrumentaux. Un de ses élèves les plus connus fut le comte de Guergorlay, seigneur de Trousily. Après le succès de son premier livre, Sonates pour violoncelle et basse continue - Livre I, de novembre 1733, il fit paraître une deuxième édition en 1740. Son Livre II fut publié en 1735. En 1736 il alla en Italie étudier auprès du célèbre violoncelliste italien Francesco Alborea, connu sous le nom de « Franciscello », qui pendant ce temps semble avoir joué également à Vienne de 1726 à 17392. Il entreprit une tournée supplémentaire en Italie, en avril 1737, et revint à Paris pendant l'été 1738, pour se produire à l'illustre Concert Spirituel le 15 août et le 8 septembre, où il impressionna son auditoire par sa « grande précision », à en croire la presse locale3. En 1739, un nouveau privilège de 12 ans lui fut accordé à Versailles et enregistré le 5 janvier 1740. Cette année il publia son Livre III et d'autres travaux suivirent en 1741. Il mourut à l'âge relativement jeune de 40 ans, au sommet de sa créativité. Presque oublié du grand public d'aujourd'hui, Barrière était encore si connu quelques années après sa mort que Pierre-Louis Daquin de Château-Lyon4 n'hésitait à parler ainsi de lui : le fameux Barrière, décédé il y a encore peu de temps, possédait tout que l'on peut désirer... peu de personnes pourraient jouer aussi bien que lui Ses œuvres sont connues surtout pour leur sensibilité, leur résonance émotionnelle et leur sonorité profonde. Plusieurs d'entre elles sont d'une très grande exigence quant à la performance technique, surtout en ce qui concerne la coordination de la main droite et de la main gauche, les mouvements de doigts compliqués et souvent un maniement difficile de l'archet. Il faut beaucoup de subtilité pour exécuter en virtuose plusieurs de ses morceaux car, en même temps qu'il avait assimilé des éléments du style italien, on trouve également un riche goût français dans son discours musical. Bonne écoute merci de votre fidélité.

[@gerardbegni2806]

Barrière was the only noteful French composer for the solo cello, coming after a very prosperous school of French composers for the voila di gamba (Sainte Colombe, Marais, Forqueray, Couperin). The instrumental influence is still pattly Italian, but the tone is typically French.: less fluent and melodic, clear influence of the structures on a tenor melody and rhythms like in Rameau or Leclair . All these compositions aiming at using the cello as a tenor instrument with its full independence will lead step by step to the key masterworks of Beethoven's op. 5 n=1 2 for cello and piano; Of course, Barriére is fat from being Beethoven But his writing and architectural care puts him rather in the Beethoven''s line than in those of the Italian baroque composers (including Vivaldi's innovations). . When studying the works of any genius, Rosen evidenced the fact that two issues are important:(1) what makes a musical composition a masterwork of course, but also (2) taking into due consideration themusical history and its ummediate surrounding which, if we may say, it so, gives a concrete background to the question how Genius may grow as the nicest of flowers from a brown and rough soil. From such perspectives, both Barrière and Leclair are equally important, and Berrière could have been "the Lecair of the cello"" if he did not unfortunately die at 40. French musicologists helped us to better appreciate Rameau, then Leclair and many others. Now, it should be fair if it was Barrière's turn 💗💗💗💗💗
