CD Reviews

Essential for Cuenod fans

DV | US | 07/20/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"To supplement / correct the information on this item:

It is not a single CD as listed, but two CDs.

The recordings are old and not always of especially good quality, but the performances are exceptional.

The theme of the works of Mozart featured is that they are all Masonic.

Here are the actual contents:

CD1

COUPERIN: Première Leçon de Ténèbres pour le Mercredy

COUPERIN: `Qu'on ne me dise,' air sérieux

COUPERIN: La Pastorelle: `Il faut aimer'

COUPERIN: Les Solitaires: `Dans l'isle de Cythere'

COUPERIN: Audite omnes et expanescite

STRAVINSKY: Cantata

CD2

MOZART: Eine kleine Freimaurerkantate

MOZART: O heiliges Band der Freundschaft

MOZART: Gesellenreise

MOZART: Die Maurerfreunde

MOZART: "Zerfließen haut', geliebte Brüder"

MOZART: "Ihr unsre neuen Leiter"

MOZART: "Laßt uns mit verschlung'nen Händen, Brüder" (with Gérard Souzay)

MOZART: Eine kleine deutsche Kantate

MOZART: "Dir, Seele des Weltalls, O Sonne, ..."

COUPERIN: Troisième Leçon de Ténèbres pour le Mercredy Saint

DELANNOY: Complainte de l'homme-serpent (from the operetta Philippine)

Couperin on the first CD was recorded 1950.

Couperin on the second CD was recorded 1936.

Delannoy was recorded 1937.

Mozart was recorded 1950.

Stravinsky was recorded 1952.

All of this material was released ages ago but not, as far as I know, ever on CD until now. Stravinsky selected Cuenod personally based on hearing his Couperin recordings (Cuenod also appeared in the premiere of The Rake's Progress, but the recording of that is pretty awful). Daniel Pinkham plays harpsichord on the Couperin on the first CD.

This is one of my favorite Cuenod collections."
