Henri Sauguet - Les Caprices de Marianne
[…] continued his musical education with local organists and himself served as organist at the small church of St-Vincent de Floirac just outside the city (1916–22). Sacred music, and especially organ arrangements, were to influence him for the rest of his life. One may instance the pieces he later wrote for organ and various combinations of instruments: Oraisons, with four saxophones (1976); Ne moriatur in aeternum, with trumpet (1979); Church Sonata, with string quintet (1985).When Henri Collet dubbed a group of Paris-based composers Les Six, Sauguet started writing to one of its members, Darius Milhaud. He also began to refer to himself and two Bordeaux friends, Louis Emié and Jean-Marcel Lizotte (another composer and a poet-musician), as 'Les Trois'.

The five singers include no names that are well-known, but all acquit themselves well, bass Stephan Schrekenburger being particularly impressive, and soprano Delphine Collet and mezzo Lena Susanne Norin combine tellingly in the searing, heart-melting dissonances of “O Trauigkeit.'' Opus Ill's recording is as good as the music deserves, imparting a lovely bloom to both voices and instruments. This is an important release which brings to our attention a master of seventeenth-century German Baroque whose neglect would appear to be totally unaccountable. I am now avid to hear more Capricornus, but in the […]
