Voici un autre compositeur anglais qui gagne à être découvert.
vous découvrirez le côté un peu pastoral de l'époque.
Une belle acquisition à bas prix.
MOERAN THE MERRIER!.......2000-06-24
It's hard to imagine that these pieces have fairly languished unheard--- at least on American shores. A shame... until now. Those familiar with Moeran's contemporary, Frank Bridge, will no doubt spot his similar and subtle use of the British folk idiom throughout these works.
The Eb Quartet is an early two movement work beautifully wrought and flavored by a very tangible English countryside. Delightful!
The A Minor Quartet is a three movement affair that shows Moeran's remarkable compositional growth: he takes his innately pastoral writing to broader and deeper places. The second movement Andante is especially touching. (Amazing that this music was written in 1921 and, yet, its dominant characteristic retains a penchant for the romantic--- certainly Elgar was more "modern" at this time, interestingly enough.)
The String Trio in G of 1931, in five movements, is an inventive, melodious and utterly delightful work. Again, special mention should be made of the beguiling Adagio... and the Andante grazioso finale.
More well known for his orchestral works, we should thank Naxos for bringing these lovely chamber pieces to CD, in such fine performances by the Maggini Quartet and in a full, warm sound.

Remastered midprice reissue--Where's the sinfonietta?.......2007-03-10
Chandos released 3 excellent full-length mid price, remastered Moeran CDs by Vernon Handley and the Ulster Orcehstra in 2004. This one is not one of them.
This CD is only 53 minutes long, and only one of the recoridngs is actually from Chandos. The Fantasy Quartet for Oboe and Strings. The other two pieces, String Quartet No.1 and Sonata for Violin & Piano are actually from ABC Records in Australia, and recording dates aren't even listed. Now this is fine, but I wonder why Chandos opted to include these pieces instead of the Sinfonietta recorded by Norman Del Mar and the Bournemouth Sinfonietta in the 80s? I would have much preferred to have that instead of the violin sonata, but nonetheless, putting Moeran recoridngs back in print is good for Moeran fans.

Moeran and Warlock's Mediaeval capers........2000-04-14
This is a fun CD for the most part and the residuum that is not fun is sublime. Let me qualify this. Both Warlock (Phillip Heseltine) and Ernest Moeran were important figures in the English Musican Renaissance of the 1920-30's. They were born in the same year, thirty two after Delius, twenty two years after Vaughan Williams and eleven after Bax. They were both infatuated for a time by the chromatic sliding structures and the contemplative aestheticism of the older master. Heseltine, when he was an eighteen year old schoolboy at Eton had actually corresponded with Delius. He must have come across very impressive as a correspondent. Delius was no sucker for juvenile sycophancy and yet he took Heseltine seriously, eventually becoming a personal friend of his. As Peter Warlock the composer he led the way in his friendship with Moeran due to his stronger personality. Two works on this CD relate to this idolisation. The Serenade for Strings of Warlock is a beautiful work which was written to celebrate Delius' 60th birthday in 1923 (actually he was 61; Delius had simply got it wrong). The melody is redolent of Delius' own in his 'A Song before Sunrise', one of his impressionistic pieces for small orchestra. Warlock retains Delius' fastidious brushwork but is not impressionistic here though. His work is instead a full blooded disquisition on the rhythms and harmonies of small scale Delius but to this he adds his own strengths of fine form. In Warlock's refined calligraphy, the ripe Delian melody winds its way around the strings, eventually coming to a strong but ruminative climax, and ends up with a smiling, plump cadence complete with a final plucked chord. To any lover of the Delius of the smaller orchestral pieces this is a must and we can only join Warlock in worshipping at the Temple of Grez-sur-Loing. Delius would never have produced a work like this, for this is no generic product. It is essential Warlock and every bar is authentic! I have had three versions of this work on vinyl and this is as good as any of the others. The pace is Delius' own, something that used to be thought of (well in the 1960's, anyway) as almost mystical and peculiar to Beecham. Thankfully this was all hype and this recording among many proves it can be done by others as well. The Nocturne is Moeran's offering at the same altar of Delian idolatory but he plumbs for an evening Nocturne complete with a serenading baritone. Robert Nichols elegaic words are almost de trop for this wonderful piece is sheer poetry as pure sound and certainly deserves more than the occassional hearing. Typically, as a summing up of Delius' rapture music this is the more successful of these two but will be probably far less patronised by concert programs. Warlock was an avid student and lover of English Tudor and other early music and his Capriol Suite he introduced the crunchy harmonies of his era into the dances of the Elizabethan period. The Serenade by Moeran is exactly the same in concept as Warlock's Capriol Suite as a crossover work but was written 18 years after Heseltine's death. He had repudiated some parts ex post facto but thankfully this recording restores them and the result is a substantial work brimming over with melodies, jumping rhythms and startling harmonic jumps. All in all, great fun and beautifully played!
