Released on February 4, 2014, under the Timpani label, this collection showcases Schmitt's mastery of orchestral and piano compositions, offering a rich tapestry of musical experiences.
The album opens with the ethereal "Crépuscules, Op. 56," a four-movement suite that evokes the haunting beauty of twilight. Each piece, from the solemn "Sur un vieux petit cimetière" to the delicate "Sylphides," paints a vivid picture of the fading light and the mysteries it holds. Following this, the "Ombres, Op. 64" suite delves into the shadows, with pieces like "J'entends dans le lointain" and "Mauresque" blending melancholy and exotic allure.
The album continues with the intriguing "Mirages, Op. 70," a single piece that conjures up visions of shimmering illusions. The final section, "Enfants, Op. 94," is a delightful set of piano arrangements that capture the playful and whimsical spirit of childhood. From the choral-like "De choeur" to the lively "Turbulent," these pieces are both charming and technically impressive.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 3 minutes, this album is a testament to Florent Schmitt's versatility and depth as a composer. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his work, "Schmitt: Crépuscules - Ombres" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience that highlights the timeless beauty of his music.
