Louis VIERNE (1870–1937) Complete Piano Works, Vol. 2 12 Préludes • Solitude Sergio Monteiro, Piano
Louis Vierne will always be best remembered as one France’s most outstanding organ composers, but his piano works are part of a significant wider oeuvre and notable for their colourful and inspired inventiveness. Each of the Douze Préludes carries an evocative title in music filled with the pain and tumult of war and loss, while the epitaphs in Solitude were composed shortly after the deaths of Vierne’s brother and eldest son. Including recently published manuscripts, this is the second of two albums covering repertoire that deserves a place in the pantheon of French piano music.

Leone SINIGAGLIA (1868–1944) Complete Works for String Quartet, Vol. 2 Gavotta • Novelletta • Momento antico String Trio in A major • Trio-Serenata, Op. 33 Wawrzyniec Szymański, Horn Archos Quartet
The second volume of Leone Sinigaglia’s music for string quartet (Volume 1 is on 8.574183) explores a series of generally shorter pieces for the medium. These deeply expressive works, such as the yearning Romanza for string quartet and horn, combine compositional rigour with a flowing Italianate lyricism nurtured in the years 1888–89. Also included are the String Trio in A major , which evokes the world of the Baroque through its Bachian counterpoint, and the Trio-Serenata , fusing elysian beauty with joyful elegance. All but one of these pieces are world premiere recordings, many of which are played from the composer’s original manuscripts.
