Just as Richard Strauss sought artistic responses to his experiences after World War II, Maurice Ravel struggled to find solutions in the midst of the Great War. Originally composed for piano, Le Tombeau de Couperin was orchestrated by the composer in 1919. It is a “very morbid piece”, Albrecht Mayer emphasises: “Each movement is dedicated to a comrade who fell in the war. We’re therefore dealing with highly personal music embedded in baroque forms.”
Eugène Goossens’s Oboe Concerto of 1927 is a genuine trouvaille. He wrote it to fulfil a request from his brother Léon, one of the 20th century’s formative oboists. “Imagine Stravinsky writing a concerto for oboe, seasoning it with a pinch of British humour and adding a dash of regional sounds”. This stylistic mélange thus likewise becomes an expression of distant longing.
With his new album, “Albrecht Mayer once again reveals his innate feeling for polished thematic programmes: “We witness composers intent on projecting themselves into a more beautiful world. They dreamt their way into Paradise.”
