Although Jules Massenet never composed for solo violin, some of his compositions were transcribed for that instrument: his operatic arias, of course, notably the famous 'Méditation' from Thaïs, but also pieces from his oratorios, such as 'Le dernier sommeil de la Vierge', the prelude to Scene IV of La Vierge. This concert presents those 'imported' works, together with original pieces for violin by Massenet’s students Paul Hillemacher, Reynaldo Hahn and Fernand Halphen, thus providing a comprehensive overview of such compositions during the Belle Époque, from time-honoured forms, such as the sonata (reinvented) to meditative or virtuosic genre pieces.
Recorded in Venice, Palazzetto Bru Zane, 25th October 2022
