"The harp prodigy Emmanuel Ceysson, member of the orchestra of the Opéra national de Paris and more recently of the Metropolitan Opera, is a real star.
The scores come to life under his fingers: Debussy’s impressionist atmospheres shimmer, Caplet [and Henriette Renié]’s fantastic sceneries come alive, and the beauties of Hindemith's writing unfold through the infinite palette of this instrument-band.
Powerful in the low register, crystalline in the high notes, the harp matches harmoniously with the four instruments of the quartet: the timbral possibilities are extended and amplified. Gustavo Leone makes the most of this original instrumental combination in his Red Quintet.
Placed under the sign of mystery and poetry, this recording crosses the 20th century and includes, alongside the giant Debussy, more confidential musicians. The opportunity is given to Henriette Renié and Carlo Salzédo, well known to harpists, to now introduce themselves to the general public through the bewitching interpretations of the virtuoso Emmanuel Ceysson."
"On ne présente plus Emmanuel Ceysson. Harpiste prodige, membre de l’orchestre de l’Opéra national de Paris puis plus récemment du Metropolitan Opera, il est devenu une véritable star.
Sous ses doigts, les partitions prennent vie : les atmosphères impressionnistes d’un Debussy miroitent, les décors fantastiques de Caplet [et Henriette Renié] s’animent, et les beautés de l’écriture de Hindemith se déploient à travers la palette sonore de cet instrument-orchestre.
Puissante dans le grave, cristalline dans l’aigu, la harpe s’accorde avec les quatre instruments du quatuor en prolongeant et amplifiant leurs possibilités timbrales. Gustavo Leone tire magnifiquement parti de cette combinaison instrumentale originale dans son Red Quintet.
Placé sous le signe du mystère et de la poésie, cet enregistrement traverse le XXe siècle et fait entendre, aux côtés du géant Debussy, des musiciens plus confidentiels. L’occasion est donnée à Henriette Renié et Carlo Salzédo, bien connus des harpistes, de maintenant se faire connaître du grand public, impeccablement interprétés par les doigts virtuoses et ensorcelants d’Emmanuel Ceysson."
