About
Here Antoine Torunczyck rehabilitates the music of Pierre Philidor, the grandson of the first generation of makers who transformed the shawm into the oboe around 1660, and son of the Philidor who persuaded Lully to introduce the oboe to the Petite Bande.
‘The first appealing feature of this recording is the rediscovery of a wonderful composer too often confused with the rest of his dynasty.’
‘Its second attraction is that Alfredo Bernardini has built two “twinned” instruments specially for this recording, making exact copies without changing either the pitch or the tuning (a = 398 Hz). By respecting the original pitch of the instruments, we have given them back their original flexibility and brilliance.’
‘Finally, just as Pierre Philidor belonged to the third generation of musicians after the adoption of the “new” oboe, I am a member of the third generation of “Baroque” performers. I am therefore touched and proud that two illustrious members of the preceding generations, my teacher Alfredo Bernardini and his teacher Bruce Haynes, have agreed to participate in this project.’ - Antoine Torunczyk
