Description
A composer and conductor of genius, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) left us several operas, ballets, large-scale symphonic and choral works, but his worldwide reputation is derived mainly from his many chamber works, written for various instrumental formations with a preference for wind instruments. En forêt (1941), evoking a hunting party in the forest, was written for an entrance exam for the Conservatoire de Paris; this is why it calls for all kinds of technical challenges: it uses the entire range of the instrument, and features trills, the use of the mute, stopped sounds, glissandi, as well as, naturally, passages in fast tempos that require a high level of virtuosity. Introduction and notes on interpretation in French and English by the hornist Daniel Catalanotti. – New engraving.
