Composer:
Ernest Chausson

Artist(s):
Chantal Juillet
Ysaye Qt

Conductor:
Charles Dutoit

Background: Chausson's musical output is not vast and his career was short-lived. His earliest works date from the late 1870s and his last were produced shortly before he was killed as a result of a cycling accident in 1899. A few stage pieces represent his large-scale works, along with the Symphony in B flat (1889-90) - one of the few French symphonies to have gained a small foothold in the repertory - and performed here by one of Decca's famous artistic partnerships: Dutoit and the Montreal Symphony.

They provide superb support in one of Chausson's most popular works, the Poème for violin and orchestra in which Chantal Juillet is soloist. Chausson's only large-scale work for voice and orchestra is his Poème de l'amour et de la mer, a piece which receives an idiomatic and persuasive performance here with baritone François Le Roux.

At the other end of the scale there are Chausson's handful of chamber works. There is a Piano Trio and String Quartet and - included here - one of his fairly regularly heard pieces, the Concert pour violon, piano et quatuor à cordes (written 1889-91) and the Piano Quartet of 1897.
