Quintette Syntonia : Gabriel Dupont & Gabriel Pierné

Presented by ENSEMBLES SYNTONIA (Licence No.: 2-012371). The two Gabriel Deux rare masterpieces of French romanticism finally reunited on record and at the concert.For the release of his new album on Alpha Classics, the Quintette Syntonia invites the public of the Salle Cortot to discover two rare and flamboyant works of the French repertoire: the Poème de Gabriel Dupont and the Quintet op. 41 from Gabriel Pierné. Between Frankish heritage, post-romantic impulses and harmonic refinement, these scores display an almost orchestral intensity and a great sound sensuality. After several critically acclaimed recordings, Syntonia continues its work of rediscovering forgotten masterpieces, with the demands and commitment that mark its identity. A trip to the heart of the Belle Époque French musical by performers who love this repertoire.
