About
Writer and journalist Jessica Duchen explains: “When I asked Philippe Graffin, a treasured friend and colleague, to check the manuscript of Hungarian Dances for violinistic errors, I little dreamed he’d respond by making this recording: a CD inspired by the novel. Yet the novel was partly inspired by a CD – Philippe and Claire’s beautiful recital ‘In the Shade of Forests’, evoking the spirit of the archetypal wandering Gypsy violinist”.
Philippe’s recital is loosely based around the book but is also designed to work as a programme in its own right with several pieces chosen only for the recording, including rarities by such composers as Von Vecsey, Hubay, Scarlatescu and Arthur Hartmann.
Claire Désert is well-known in France for several solo CDs for FNAC and other labels and here plays both piano and piano luthéal, the ‘prepared piano’ that Ravel had made for Tzigane in 1919 and which imitates the sound of a Hungarian cimbalom to striking effect in many of these pieces.
