Upon hearing the music of Gabriel Dupont for the first time, many have asked, “How is it possible this music is not well known?” The answer is unclear, but hopefully, that question itself becomes irrelevant as Dupont is restored in our memories as one of the great composers. To be sure, Dupont was seen as a rising star during his lifetime. His works were performed regularly and were largely enjoyed by the public. His opera, La Glu, was hailed to be the next Carmen. Yet he was a victim of tragic circumstance that nearly led to him being relegated as a historical footnote: he was stricken by a relentless illness that led to an early death at age 36, the very day France mobilized for World War I. Were it not for the work of a few scholars and musicians in recent years, Dupont would likely not be known at all.

The music of Gabriel Dupont is finally beginning to receive the recognition it deserves, thanks in no small part to the efforts of scholars like Phillipe Simon and Emmanuel Sauvlet, and musicians like Daniel Blumenthal (the first pianist to record Les Heures dolentes, in 1987) and Marie-Catherine Girod (the first pianist to record La Maison dans les dunes, in 1997). Interest in Dupont’s life and music has been slowly but steadily growing, and I humbly offer this recording as my contribution to the discovery of his work. Those interested in hearing more of Dupont’s output should explore his wonderful Poème for piano quintet, his intimate mélodies, and his operas. To date, there are no recordings of his orchestral pieces.

Although fate might have conspired that Dupont’s music should be forgotten in the 20th century, each person who has come to know Dupont’s music understands its supreme quality: it is profoundly human. The highest hopes, the deepest fears and the greatest joys and pains of life are fully expressed in his work. For Dupont, pain can be beautiful and beauty can be sad – yet each moment is a gift. We would be wise to follow Dupont’s example, that no matter the circumstances of life, we strive to do our best in the time we have been given.
