专辑简介
The French composer and pianist, Cécile Chaminade, was born in Paris on 8 August 1857, and died at Monte Carlo on 18 April 1944. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians concludes its insultingly short entry: "Notwithstanding the real charm and clever writing of many of Chaminade's pieces they do not rise above drawing-room music." That assessment misses the point, as this recording will immediately demonstrate. Chaminade wrote first-class slon music, which is a much greater achievement than writing second or third-class symphonies and sonatas-and far less boring!
When Chaminade was eight she impressed Bizet with her compositions, and when she was eighteen Ambroise Thomas felt she had no need to be designated as a woman-composer. Her piano pieces soon became extremely popular in Britain and America, as well as in her own country. But she had more serious ambitions too. In 1908, she made her American debut playing her Conzertstuck(sie) with the Philadelphia Orchestra, but her orchestra works never achieved the success of her more than 200 piano pieces, or even her songs. Her piano style is derived from Chopin and Schumann and, in French music, Faure. But she reduced this legacy to its simplest materials, calculating superbly what amateur pianists could play, and what emotional level was fitting for the drawing-room. At a time when the role of women in musical composition is sometimes urged through special pleading, Chaminade has survived purely through her own merits.
