CD Reviews

Royal Table Music

G. Charles Steiner | San Francisco | 05/19/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"It's best to understand right off that while the CD album is titled "Symphonie No. 5," the music compositions in no way comprise what we today know as symphony. What is to be found here are pieces of music that accompany, say, a thirteen-course royal dinner. Most of the thirteen compositions are only a couple of minutes long, long enough for the servants to enter the dining room, deliver the soup or the salad to the king and his regular diners, and then to leave. Some pieces are very light and pleasant, while others are slow and maybe even melancholic, but no matter the tempo, the quality is always royal, stately, fit for a king's consumption. The longest composition in this "Symphony No. 5" is 9 minutes and 35 seconds long and it has depth like a mini-symphony by itself. This is the "Grand Piece" or or Big Piece within the Symphony.

Each musical composition (many airs, one chaconne, one sarabande and one rondeau) is lovely and a treat but so very very brief. Just as you're getting into the structure and the melody, it's over. I have purchased the CD album of Delalande's music entitled "Symphonies pour les Soupers du Roy" which contains all of the pieces that make up Symphony No. 5 here (with about five "Concert des Trompettes" added), and both CDs are directed by Hugo Reyne such that there is literally no difference in the quality even while the latter album was made in 1990.

If you have ever heard Delalande's "Second Fantasie or Caprice Which the King Often Requested," you'll keep searching to find its like or better in other compositions by Delalande. I'm afraid nothing better than that Fantasie is so to be found in this album or in the earlier album containing concert music with trumpets. That piece is outstanding while these pieces of a symphony are merely delightful and make a pleasant musical background for reading or -- for dining."
