    Trio in E minor, Op. 45 (1854-56)
    Dedication: Mr. Louis Dorus
    1. Allegro deciso (0:00)
    2. Andante (7:04)
    3. Scherzo (12:10)
    4. Finale (17:12)
    Midsummer's Music
    Details by Edition Silvertrust
    Trio in e minor, Op. 45 for Flute, Cello and Piano, composed during 1861-2, is her last chamber work. It was a combination for which, at the time, there were few precedents. A short fanfare, Allegro deciso, leads to the attractive and dramatic main movement, Piu moderato ed espressivo. The main subject of the second movement, Andante, is a sweet vocal melody entrusted to the flute. Farrenc includes a dramatic and turbulent middle section (where our sound-bite begins), a storm interlude. A brilliantly conceived, restless Scherzo vivace comes next. The flute and piano are given running passages, while the cello plays long, sustained notes that create an important atmospheric function. In the trio section, the cello introduces a fine melody high in its tenor register. The superb finale, Presto, begins with a lively theme which picks up speed as it goes along. Later, Farrenc introduces a wonderful second theme which is full of pathos. Discussing Op.45, the editor of The Chamber Music Journal wrote:
    " I would say that this trio, if not a masterwork, is at the very least absolutely first rate all the way through. It surely belongs in the concert hall and will also be enjoyed by amateurs. As an aside, satisfying as the version with flute is, I think the substitution of the violin makes the work even more effective."

    Louise Farrenc belongs in the canon. Maybe she's finally getting there--where she always deserved to be.

    In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful chamber pieces wrote during the Romantic Period!

      Note that in my modest opinion the best chamber music work of K.M. von WEBER is written for the same set of instruments. For instance, Weber's quintet with clarinet has too much concerting features: impossible for Weber to challenge Mozart on that ground !

    Louise Farrenc is a totally unknown composer, which deserves to be "resurrected". This formation for fulte, cello and piano had been succesfully used by Weber in what was probably his best piece of chamber music. The work by Louise Farrenc is quite typical of her time, but avoids any spectacular virtuosity to concentrate on intrinsic qualities of the music itself. The form is classical but very well dominated.Moreover, sg he wrote "serious" music together with very few colleagues (e.g. Boellmann a a bit later on) at a quite sueeficial time when Offen bach was the king of music in France. These "happy few" paved the way to the wondeful musical French school between 1871 and 1914. Last but not least, she was one of our leading composer ladies together wih such names as Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Lili Boulanger or Germaine Tailleferre, and quite recently the Finnish born Katia Saariaho, who develops a very specvific language.

    • @stevecreswell9962
      @stevecreswell9962 Před 6 lety +4

      No, not to my ears. Bass would be historically more likely a generation or two earlier, and in Vienna, not Paris (see Mozart's flute quartet, KV 285, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, if played one on a part: no cello, only doublebass!). Viola da gamba, as a third consideration, was used in France later than elsewhere in Europe, but not for chamber music in mid-nineteenth century Paris.

    • @sidlori1592
      @sidlori1592 Před 3 lety +3

      As a double-bassist myself, I have to agree that it really does sound like a proficient bassist is playing the cello part here. That is, everywhere except for the higher registers (and/or when the cellist is playing on the A string)...which are just a bit too bright to be a bass.
      A slightly muffled recording and a very sonorous cello must be the trick's combination here ;-).

      Thanks. Would appreciate that, if there is more information. The sound quality of the flutist and the variety of color that he/she makes is particularly attractive in this recording.

      David, it took a little digging, but here are the players:
      Jean Berkenstock, flute
      Walter Preucil, cello
      William Koehler, piano
      Jean and her husband Jim founded Wisconsin's Midsummer's Music.
      Yes, very fine playing. And thank you for all of your beautiful playing over the years. BTW, I went to school with Sue Carroll, who, iirc, played on a horn that used to be yours! Sue really played beautifully.
