Béatrice MARTIN


Les Sauvages by Béatrice Martin carries you beyond the seriousness of this world towards the celestial delights of an ‘oriental’ dream drawn in Indian ink. For her first solo disc, Béatrice Martin has chosen one of the most prestigious harpsichords made by the famous Ruckers of Antwerp, an instrument until then never used in a recording, and an encounter of truly heartfelt emotion. With this alchemy of the ineffable – that of the greatest artistes of this world – Béatrice Martin harmonises the sensitivity, the fervour and the fantasies of the uncontested masters of the French harpsichord school: apart from these veritable ‘hits’ of the French baroque that are Les Sauvages, L’Egyptienne and La Passacaille d’Armide, this unique disc is a waking dream. Coloured with that exoticism so dear to Rameau, Couperin, Forqueray and yet also Royer and Anglebert, it brightens, with its ‘Lights’ of the kingdom of France, this exquisite world of a long-awaited elsewhere, this dream of the Phoenix come from an unexpected ‘Orient’. Listeners, yield yourselves – a thousand and one nights – to the infinitely matchless touch of one of the finest international harpsichord players.

Johann Sebastian Bach | Concerto in Dialogo (Ref.: CYP1652)
The liturgy is so constructed that in some of its most beautiful passages a dialogue emerges between the Spiritual and the human. Bach, in whom lay a fervent yet frustrated dramaturge, was able to give ? at times - an operatic dimension to his many cantatas. Those that concern us on this very fine disc blend the liturgical aspect with a more theatrical dimension.

Bach - harpsichord concertos bwv 1052, 1053, 1055, 1056 (Ref.: CYP1661)
The works on this recording are undoubtedly well-known, and it is a commonplace to say that they invented the very genre of keyboard concerto in western music. For Béatrice Martin the desire to record these concertos for harpsichord and strings stemmed from the conjuncture of two magnificently sounding instruments: a harpsichord by the Hamburg maker Christian Zell (1737) and one by the Barcelona maker Johan Marti, built in 2001 after the model of Zell. Listening to these harpsichords as played by Béatrice Martin with inspired intensity is to penetrate the intimacy of these works and at the same time to enter into Bach?s workshop at a time when the most learned of composers had set his heart on providing entertainment with infectiously agreeable music.
