Mussorgsky / Camerata Du Leman - Souvenir de Florence [CD]
The young players of the Swiss string ensemble Camerata du Léman make their recording debut with energetic performances of Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, in a new arrangement by concertmaster Simon Bouveret. The Camerata realize an ensemble sound that is both homogenic and soloistic, and are driven by a shared desire for adventure and a common passion for chamber music. Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence is a tribute to the Italian city where the composer spent a winter, and simultaneously a declaration of love to Italian lyricism. The ensemble's new rendition of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition revives the nineteenth-century transcription practice, while also demonstrating the inexhaustible musical richness of this timeless masterpiece.
