S’il fallait encore convaincre du statut d’instrument soliste de l’alto, cet enregistrement le fait avec bonheur. Mais ce n’est pas le seul intérêt de ce disque qui présente des pièces jamais enregistrées à ce jour : d’abord deux magnifiques et courts morceaux de Lili Boulanger, écrit à l’origine pour flûte ou violon, mais qui prennent une autre dimension à l’alto, tout en charme et profondeur ; ensuite trois pièces de Georges Migot, compositeur, mais aussi peintre, graveur et pédagogue, peu joué de nos jours, mais dont les pièces pour alto témoignent d’un parcours musical personnel et original. Deux titres avec piano ainsi qu’une belle sonate pour alto seul suffisent à emporter l’adhésion de l’auditeur. Si la majeure partie des œuvres furent écrites dans la première moitié du XX°, l’une d’elles, datée de 2014, et signée de Jean-Jacques Werner s’intègre parfaitement dans l’ensemble. Les quatre visages de Darius Milhaud, pièces de musique pure, tour à tour charmantes, enjouées et facétieuses ou pensives, nous ramène en terrain mieux connu, de même que la belle sonate d’Honegger qui clôt le disque. (Lothaire Mabru)
“Today we have turned the page. A brutal youth proposes a new ideal and employs every means to affirm it. A fierce struggle is taking place around Akela at the Council Rock”. In a markedly polemical tone, the biting critic Émile Vuillermoz used images from The Jungle Book to describe, in February 1921, the emergence of new breakaway voices on the French musical scene. The body of Akela, the authoritative leader preyed upon by jackals in Kipling’s tales, was none other than that of Claude Debussy, who had died just three years earlier. The void created by the disappearance of this master of symbolism was added to the broader crisis emanating from the Great War. For younger composers, particularly those belonging to the Group of Six, the war seemed to have rid older composers’ musical legacy of meaning, for example the likes of Debussy, Gabriel Fauré and Maurice Ravel. The faces that give this disc its title are some of the protagonists of this explosive, chaotic moment in the early postwar period that so impacted the trajectories of these composers. The works presented here, which range from first recordings of relatively unknown pieces to staples of the concert canon, focus on the viola, an instrument long neglected but rediscovered during the 20th century. On the one hand, composers favoured the viola for the intimate atmosphere it evokes. On the other hand, they took advantage of the possibilities offered by an instrument that didn’t bear the heavy legacy of repertoire and virtuosity that weighs down the viola’s betterknown string family sibling, the violin.
