About
‘More than a return to the roots, French Neo-Classicism represents an affec- tionate and critical look at the past, a mischievous smile, roguish consent, irony without any malice.’ These are the words the Swiss cellist Christophe Pantillon uses to describe the connecting character of the otherwise strongly contrasting works written after 1945 on his new solo CD. Starting with the Pa- duana by Arthur Honegger of 1945, the chronological arch stretches over the Étude-Caprice pour un „Tombeau de Chopin“(1949) and the Ghirlarzana (1950) von Jacques Ibert, the Sonate pour violoncelle by Henri Sauguet (1956) and the Suite en Concert by the more progressive André Jolivet (1965) to Henri Dutilleux’s 3 Strophes sur le nom de SACHER (1976-1982) and finally to a composition of 2011 by David Chaillou, Seul - Monologue pour violoncelle

the disc shows how limited the cello repertoire had been until [1945]...All this is given imeccable attention by Pantillon, whose smoothness of line and lyrical accuracy of tuning allow the music to venture in whatever direction is necessary. He doesn't try to control the music but presents each piece as a free-standing example in its own right.
