Presentation
On the occasion of the release of this new CD devoted to works by Maurice Emmanuel, I would like to salute the considerable efforts carried out over many long years by Anne Eichner, the composer’s granddaughter. Her unflagging commitment and faithful support of record producers as well as musicians have contributed to making better known the music of this erudite grandfather, who was admittedly too discrete but whose noble face is hard to forget.
The works on this programme come from the inexhaustible INA archives and are performed here by top-flight artists (Maurice Maréchal, Jeanne-Marie Darré, the Parrenin Quartet, André Boutard, et al.) whose names alone invite us to a new discovery – even though these works had already been recorded.
