Henri TOMASI (1901–1971) Complete Violin Works Violin Concerto ‘Périple d’Ulysse’ • Capriccio Stéphanie Moraly, Violin • Romain David, Piano Orchestre de la Garde républicaine • Sébastien Billard
Henri Tomasi’s violin works are little known but they offer a compact insight into the direction of French 20th-century composition. The Violin Concerto ‘Périple d’Ulysse’ is a late work, by turns alluring, tragic and violent, conveyed through rhapsodic virtuosity and a rich sense of colour. The Capriccio is full of elegance and refinement with emotional intensity in its slow movement and brilliance in its finale. Chant hébraïque conjures up oriental motifs while the sequence of early works for violin and piano reference Tomasi’s Corsican heritage and evoke quasi-cinematic exoticism. Key Feature: Violinist Stéphanie Morally began studies at the Paris Conservatoire at 16, and was awarded a Premier Prix at the age of 19. She currently performs as part of Duo Moraly-David with pianist Romain David, and is also first violin of the Quintette Syntonia.

Fábio Brum, Trumpets, Cornets, Flugelhorn, Horn • Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla • Noam Zur Like alchemists of old, attempting to recombine the four elements, here Fábio Brum presents four distinct musical languages in a programme forged during lockdown. Gabriele Roberto’s Tokyo Suite charts the astonishment of a traveller dazzled by the vast megapolis, whereas Dimitri Cervo’s The Brazilian Four Seasons offers a colourful, energetic panorama of the natural and human worlds. Fábio Brum’s very personal musical journey is highlighted by the contrast between the Talmudic contemplation of Menachem Zur’s De Profundis and the abstract ruminations of Nicola Tescari’s Trumpet Concerto ‘Nine Moods’ . Key Feature: These are world premiere recordings and part of Fábio Brum ’s mission to bring new music for trumpet, much dedicated to him, to the general public.
