Wonderful French Ambiance,
By
This review is from: Paris French Flu Sons (Audio CD)
Most of the music on this disk was unknown to me, but I was glad to make its acquaintance. The performances are crisp, clean, clear and elegant; in a word, French. Having recently been in Paris I could safely make the connection to the place with this music instantly.

Absolutley brilliant,

This review is from: Paris French Flu Sons (Audio CD)
Emmanuel Pahud's recording captures the essence of these beatuiful French pieces and reflects it on his playing. He contributes new and appealing ideas to these much-played pieces. He makes them sound as fresh as if they were composed yesterday. On the technical aspect, all of the pieces are quite challenging, and Pahud makes them sound as if they were a breeze. The gamut of colors on his sound pallette is incredible, and his technique is clean. I must say that "Chant de Linos" and "Le Merle Noir" are the two pieces that keep me on the edge of my seat. They are both so intense, and Pahud does an amazing job performing them.

Poulence and Milhaud shine, but the rest can be samey.,
This review is from: Paris French Flu Sons (Audio CD)
Pahud perhaps errs in beginning his disc with by far its strongest piece, Poulenc's joyously melodic 'Flute Sonata', serenely playful, influenced by Stravinsky's neo-classicism, but spiritually just as close to Mozart. The only other work here that compares is Poulenc's old 'Les Six' chum Milhaud's 'Sonatina', which has a rhythmic energy and strangeness that marks it out from its rather fey surroundings.Three of the works are Conservatoire test pieces, and they show, Dutilleux's and Sancan's being pleasant, but samey variations on Debussy and Faure. Ibert's contributions are more original, but just as amiably forgettable. Messian's replication of bird-song, 'Le Merle Noir', is evocative and exciting, but fatiguing; Jolivet's closer just fatigues. Pahud's playing is flexible and expressive throughout, and Le Sage's quiet invention on the piano shouldn't be ignored, but this disc really only sparkles on first hearing.
