\nOn her new album \u201cLumi\u00e8re\u201d, released on the Berlin Classics label on March 25, 2022, C\u00e9line Moinet makes the oboe really shine \u2013 and the cor anglais too. Joined by bassoonist Sophie Dervaux and pianist Florian Uhlig, Moinet turns her gaze towards her French homeland and presents a programme that is French through and through: music reminiscent of spring in the south of France, recalling its lightness, its perfume and its bright, radiant colours. Works by Francis Poulenc, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Saint-Saens make up a bouquet of Impressionist masterpieces, which make the oboe sing, keep it in motion, always providing elegant entertainment without ever sounding hackneyed.
\nThe \u201cTrio for Oboe, Bassoon and Piano\u201d of 1926 by Poulenc is one of the first works since the Classical era to highlight two woodwind instruments in a chamber ensemble. Musicians C\u00e9line Moinet and Sophie Dervaux are linked by more than their French origin. Both soloists are also orchestral musicians, Moinet with the Dresden Staatskapelle, Dervaux with the Vienna Philharmonic. They have played the Trio together several times already. On this album, now, the two musicians find a language of their own: \u201cWe understood each other at once without needing to talk too much about it, \u201d recalls Moinet. \u201cAlthough we know each other so well and are very similar, we can still surprise each other now and then \u2013 even in the recording studio.\u201d Florian Uhlig is another musician who Moinet has worked closely with for many years. It was in 2017 that the album \u201cSchumann Romances\u201d finally appeared, with Moinet and Uhlig making music together.
\nAnother piece by Poulenc on the album is a late work of his, the \u201cSonata for Oboe and Piano\u201d, which the composer dedicated to his friend Sergei Prokofiev. Enhancing the album are various arrangements embedded among these characteristic original solo works for oboe: Claude Debussy\u2019s \u201cRhapsody for English Horn and Orchestra\u201d was actually composed for the saxophone, Debussy\u2019s \u201cAndantino\u201d is taken from his String Quartet in G minor, and Maurice Ravel\u2019s \u201cTombeau de Couperin\u201d was originally written for piano duet. Moinet could not resist changing instrument for at least one work: she plays the Debussy Rhapsody on the cor anglais. \u201cThe timbre of this instrument is very similar to that of the saxophone,\u201d says Moinet, \u201cit has more warmth and sounds somewhat softer, which I think goes very well with the Impressionist, colourful character of Debussy\u2019s music.\u201d
\nMoinet\u2019s affinity with the music on this album was always bound to be a special one on account of her familiarity with the French language: \u201cFrench chamber music has always been a very natural thing for me, ever since I was a little girl,\u201d she says. \u201cThere is a lot of spontaneity in this music, which I feel at home with. If you like, this music is my mother tongue.\u201d In her readings, then, she does not emulate performances by other oboists but prefers to bring out what she herself has found in the personal context of this music: \u201cThis album is C\u00e9line Moinet,\u201d she declares. \u201cIt is authentic, it is my truth and my honest interpretation of French music as a Frenchwoman.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
