Info for Jazz (Akhunov, Poulenc, Messiaen)



When the composer Sergey Akhunov discovered the ground-breaking book of 1947, “Jazz”, by Henri Matisse – a collection of prints of his colourful cut-paper collages – he was struck by its almost surreal nature, and he conceived the idea of composing music with the title “Jazz”, but which, like Matisse’s book, has nothing to do with jazz. That inspiration finally took shape when Julia Igonina and Maxim Emelyanychev commissioned him to compose a work for them. The result was Jazz, a cycle for violin and piano: fifteen miniatures, bearing titles taken from the prints in Matisse’s book.On this new recording, those pieces are brought together with two French masterpieces of the 1940s by Messiaen and Poulenc (whose favourite painter was Matisse), performed by Julia Igonina and Maxim Emelyanychev on period instruments – violin with gut strings and a magnificent 1908 Blüthner piano (part of the collection of the Piano Museum in Rybinsk).

Lorsque le compositeur Sergey Akhounov découvre Jazz, le recueil d’illustrations d’Henri Matisse, il est saisi par les collages quasi surréalistes qui le composent, et sait qu’il en fera quelque chose. Cette inspiration prend forme avec une commande du génial claviériste Maxim Emelyanychev et la violoniste Julia Igonina. Ainsi naît Jazz, un cycle pour violon et piano dont les quinze miniatures (sans rapport aucun avec le genre musical éponyme) reprennent les titres des collages de Matisse.Sur cet enregistrement inédit, ces pièces rencontrent les œuvres de Messiaen et Poulenc (dont Matisse était le peintre favori), auxquelles Maxim Emelyanychev et Julia Igonina offrent, grâce à la sonorité des instruments d’époque, un magnifique piano Blüthner 1908 (collection du Musée du piano de Rybinsk) et des cordes en boyaux du violon, un relief saisissant.
