 NEW RELEASE
WALDTEUFEL, the French Strauss
Nowadays, who knows Emile Waldteufel ? It would seem that what is true for a good number of songs is also true for his waltzes: they remain etched in our memories but, at the same time, prove to be so perfect, so simple, their melody so evident that wa are not terribly concerned with knowing who wrote them, suppose that they are not attributed to… Johann Strauss who was his strict contemporary! Righting such a wrong is therefore the goal that I have set myself, concerned with paying him the tribute he deserves, however tardily.

A TRIBUTE TO SCELSI
Listen  : 
Listen  : 
The man: azure blue, romantic and mystical, quite an aristocratic mailman, a lady's man, and an aficionado of polyclinics. His music: a seething density and infinitely continuous melody borne of other planets and played by spectacular instruments and terrestrial voices. Stubbornly resists reason, the exuberant and exasperating kind (that reveals ourselves to us), a shiver that disappears like a mirage. These recordings: coincide with three aesthetic moments, three types of musical writing that punctuate Scelsi's work.
Jean-Noël von der Weid

(excerpts from the article by Xavier Lacavalerie in Classica-Répertoire, March 2007)
Part 3: SIGEAN

Speaking of tracks, Solstice moved from Paris and settled in the middle of vineyards in Sigean, near Narbonne (in southern France). In their superb building, Yvette and François divide up the tasks. She handles relations with the artists, oversees the business end, takes care of distribution and manages the Website – one of the best conceived and most flourishing in online classical music. He mixes, takes care of the photoengraving and designs the booklets. ‘This is not a record company but a true phalanstery!’ they say in unison, camped out in the office part of the building, where their big doggie, Virgile, is not allowed to set paw... Yes, a true phalanstery, worthy of a 19th-century social utopia, but which is doubtless the sole reality of tomorrow for a record company in these times of change — if not widespread crisis...
