로제 데조르미에르 – 데카 녹음 전집
로제 데조르미에르(지휘), 내셔널 심포니 오케스트라, 파리 음악원 오케스트라

가장 프랑스적인 지휘자 중 한 명으로 꼽혔고 피에르 불레즈의 스승이기도 했던 로제 데조르미에르가 1947년부터 1951년까지 데카 레이블에서 녹음한 음반을 모두 모은 전집으로, 이중 일부는 데카 레이블로는 처음으로 인터내셔널 발매되었다.
우리에게는 전설적인 드뷔시 <펠레아스와 멜리장드> 전곡반으로 유명한 이 지휘자의 음악이 생각보다 훨씬 방대했음을 보여주는 기록이며, 그가 53세에 교통 사고로 은퇴하지 않았다면 얼마나 더 풍성한 예술적 결과를 보여주었을지 새삼 안타까운 생각이 든다. 비제, 샤브리에, 드뷔시, 풀랑크는 특히 명연이라고 할 만하다.

*FIRST INTERNATIONAL CD RELEASE ON DECCA

A landmark tribute to Roger Desormiere, a great French conductor of the mid-twentieth century, including many recordings new to CD. A car crash in March 1953 cruelly cut short the career of Roger Desormiere, who at the age of 53 had already established a reputation as one of the most insightful French conductors of his or any previous era. The resulting stroke left him barely able to communicate, incapable of work. His pupils, including Pierre Boulez, were distraught, but Desormiere clung on for thirteen painful years, eventually dying a broken man. Desormiere's legacy on disc is a case of what might have been. Record companies showed little interest in recording the modern repertoire of which he was so stylish and dedicated an interpreter, at least the equal in this regard of Hans Rosbaud and Rene Leibowitz. His one indisputable classic of the gramophone is the 1941 HMV recording of Pelleas et Melisande, but he recorded much else for several different labels. The present set brings together all his Decca recordings for the first time, made in mono between 1947 and 1951, newly remastered and constituting a substantial tribute to a musician of manifold gifts. As a regular conductor of both the Ballets Suedois and the Ballets Russes in Paris, Desormiere gave the premieres of Satie's last two ballets; Decca captured his mastery of ballet conducting in suites of Scarlatti, Chopin, Delibes and Tchaikovsky. Of music from his own time there is Poulenc's Les Biches, and the Divertissement of Ibert from 1951 (his final Decca recording), both done with the most refined ear for orchestral texture. His disc of lyric and coloratura arias with Janine Micheau unites him with a singer who, like him, brought a light touch to everything she did. On a visit to London in May 1947 Desormiere undertook his only recording assignment for Decca in the UK, recording in a single day Bizet's Jeux d'enfants and Patrie Overture, Debussy's Marche ecossaise and Chabrier's Habanera, in Kingsway Hall, with Sidney Beer's body of freelance players, the National Symphony Orchestra. Every other recording was made with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra, and each one has a character as Parisian as the Tuileries and the Bateaux-mouches.
