Concertante and orchestral works by Michael Jarrell

The music of Michael Jarrell has been said to 'examine states of dream and unreality, searching for a moment of truth' – a truth which is often found in the lowest sonorities and slowest tempi, a place where time stands still. His works are often interrelated, not only by a certain sensitivity or a distinctive tone, but also by the recurrence of particular features that he reworksin different contexts. The present disc combines three orchestral works composed over a period of almost a quarter of a century. In Paysages avec figures absentes, played here by solo violinist Ilya Gringolts, the composer wished to find a new approach to writing for violin within an ensemble. Premiered a few months before this recording by the Orchestre des Pays de la Loire and Pascal Rophe, the Sechs Augeblicke for orchestra suggest a concentration or implosion of sound matter within musical fragments, as a sort of reference to Schubert. Finally, the guiding idea of Un long fracas somptueux de rapide celeste with solo percussionist Florent Jodelet is a short, powerful 'initial explosion' that recurs, like a punctuation mark, throughout the piece, more or less regularly, in different forms.
