About the album

A prolific composer and organist, Naji Hakim is truly one of the most versatile performer-composers working today, garnering praise from his numerous organ and composition competition prizes as well as an award from Pope Benedict XVI for his musical work in benefit of the church.This new recording continues Signum’s series of discs with Naji Hakim with a new selection of his chamber works, featuring performances by Rima Tawil, Magali Mosnier, Claire Foise, Quatuor de la Chapelle Royale (with Renaud Bary) as well as by the composer.

These works draw on a wide range of influences: Phèdre sets the words of Jean Racine’s tragic work of the same name to music; Caprice en Rondeau is a sprightly piece featuring themes by Rameau; and the Diptyque combines folk tunes through the tonal pallate of the basque flute the txistu. The premiere recording of the Concerto for Piano is a tour-de-force for soloist Claire Foise, accompanied in this version for String Quintet by the Quatuor de la Chapelle Royale and Renaud Bary.

Premières van kamermuziek van Naji Hakim
De productieve componist en organist Naji Hakim is werkelijk een van de meest veelzijdige musici-componisten die vandaag de dag werkzaam is. Hij verwierf bovendien een onderscheiding van Paus Benedictus XVI voor zijn muzikale werkzaamheden voor de kerk.

Dit album zet de reeks van albums met werken van Hakim voort met premières van zijn kamermuziekwerken, uitgevoerd door onder andere Rima Tawil, Magali Mosnier, Claire Foise, Quatuor de la Chapelle Royale (met Renaud Bary) en de componist zelf.

Deze werken putten uit een keur aan invloeden: Phèdre is een toonzetting van het gelijknamige tragische werk van Jean Racine; Caprice en Rondeau is een vrolijk werk dat thema’s van Rameau bevat en Diptyque combineert volksliedjes door middel van het tonale palet van de Baskische fluit, de txistu. Het Pianoconcert is een bravourestuk voor de solist Claire Foise, die in deze versie voor strijkkwintet begeleid wordt door Quator de la Chapelle Royale en Renaud Bary.
