Trio Andrea Palladio
Voyage Romantique: 19th Century Music For Oboe, Bassoon
Musical talent is often shaped by a mix of innate ability and early exposure, yet history reveals fascinating exceptions to this rule. This Da Vinci Classics album highlights composers who defied convention, emerging from diverse backgrounds to leave a lasting impact on music. From Alfred Hill, who infused Maori and Aboriginal influences into his works, to Eugène Jancourt, a bassoon innovator, each musicians journey was anything but typical. Ren de Boisdeffre thrived as a distinguished amateur, while Giovanni Paggi dazzled audiences across continents. Philippe Gattermann, an enigmatic flutist, left behind a legacy of refined compositions. Their works, blending woodwinds and organ, create an evocative soundscape that bridges orchestral grandeur with operatic lyricism. This album not only introduces these remarkable yet overlooked figures but also offers listeners a rare and captivating sonic experience.
