The title for this debut disc, which translates as clouds, comes from its centrepiece, producer David Jaeger\u2019s\u00a0<em>Constable\u2019s Clouds\u00a0<\/em>for solo cello. I spoke in my February column about a reworking of this piece with electronics for violist Elizabeth Reid, so I welcomed the opportunity to get to know this original set of variations inspired by the cloud studies of John Constable. Jaeger tells us the variations \u201cof widely differing character\u201d were inspired by the \u201cmagical and endless variation we see in the shapes of clouds streaming by.\u201d Raymond-Friset, who gave the work\u2019s premiere, rises to all the technical challenges Jaeger presents in these nuanced\u00a0<em>nuages<\/em>. The disc opens with a rarely heard yet charming sonata by Francis Poulenc dating from the occupation years of the Second World War. It\u2019s from the gentle second movement\u00a0<em>Cavatine\u00a0<\/em>that the duo has taken its name. Alfred Schnittke\u2019s powerful\u00a0<em>Sonata for Cello and Piano No.1<\/em>\u00a0reverses the normal order of things by starting and ending with\u00a0<em>Largo<\/em>\u00a0movements bookending a diabolic moto perpetuo\u00a0<em>Presto<\/em>. Throughout the disc, whether in the lyricism of Poulenc or the abrasiveness of Schnittke, Raymond-Friset and Broekaert shine, with technique and musicality to burn. Recorded at Glenn Gould Studio the sound is, as we have come to expect from engineer Dennis Patterson, impeccable.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alienum phaedrum torquatos nec eu, vis detraxit periculis ex, nihil expetendis in mei.
