About

Gaubert was a great master of the flute, but it is often forgotten that he began with the violin, which enabled him to support his family. He truly was a violinist, as attests the Concerto, released three years ago, as well as the Violin Sonata and Quatre Esquisses - two world premieres - which ideally exploit the instrument’s lyricism and delicacy of colours. But the cello is not to be outdone: already present on the orchestral disc, it is present here in highly virtuosic pieces.

Finally, another premiere: the Trois Aquarelles in the original instrumentation for violin (indicated before the flute), cello and piano, so this will be a discovery.

Need we introduce the artists? It would be impossible to find better for reintroducing a great and particularly appealing composer.

Awards and reviews

June 2014

the sonata is certainly revelatory of a creative talent worthy of attention...[Demarquette and Jude] here play the original version of [the Aquarelles] with violin instead of flute, capturing the music's essential Gallic grace, its translucency and its romantic impulse, qualities that also imbue the Quatre Esquisses for violin and piano.

29th June 2014

The splendid performances have been well recorded and are supported by an enthusiastic booklet note which sings Gaubert’s compositional praises. Rightly so, really, as he has a small but individual voice in the world of French music of the time.
