Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Georges Auric's "Auric, G.: Phedre / Le Peintre Et Son Modele," a 2005 release from the Timpani label. This album is a double feature of Auric's ballet scores, showcasing his mastery of orchestral composition and his ability to evoke vivid imagery through music.
The first half of the album is dedicated to "Phèdre," a ballet based on the ancient Greek tragedy. Auric's score is a dramatic and intense exploration of the story's themes, with each track painting a vivid musical picture of the unfolding drama. From the haunting "Prelude" to the tragic "Mort de Phedre," Auric's music is a powerful accompaniment to the ballet's narrative.
The second half of the album is devoted to "Le peintre et son modele," another ballet score that demonstrates Auric's versatility as a composer. This score is a more intimate and nuanced exploration of the relationship between an artist and his model. The music is delicate and expressive, with each track capturing a different aspect of the creative process.
Performed by the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Arturo Tamayo, the album's sound is rich and full, with each instrument clearly audible and contributing to the overall impact of the music. The album's duration of 54 minutes makes it a perfect length for a single listening session, allowing you to fully appreciate Auric's compositions and the orchestra's performance.
