Description

The two Gabriels, Gabriel Dupont and Gabriel Pierné<div> Two rare masterpieces of French Romanticism finally reunited on record and in concert.</div><div> To celebrate the release of their new album on Alpha Classics, the Syntonia Quintet invites the audience at the Salle Cortot to discover two rare and vibrant works from the French repertoire: Gabriel Dupont's Poème and Gabriel Pierné's Quintet Op. 41. Blending Franckian influences, post-Romantic impulses, and harmonic refinement, these scores unfold with an almost orchestral intensity and a profound sonic sensuality. Following several critically acclaimed recordings, Syntonia continues its work of rediscovering forgotten masterpieces, with the exacting standards and commitment that define its identity. A journey to the heart of the French Belle Époque, performed by artists deeply in love with this repertoire.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> <strong>Program :</strong></div><div><br></div><div> Gabriel Dupont (1878-1914) — Poem for piano and string quartet (1911)</div><div> Dark and painful</div><div> Clear and calm</div><div> Cheerful and sunny</div><div><br></div><div> Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) — Quintet for piano and strings, op. 41 (1916-17)</div><div> Moderato molto tranquillo</div><div> To a Zortzico rhythm</div><div> Slow.
