Bach Inspiration

Juliette Hurel (flute), Mailys de Villoutreys (soprano) & Les Surprises, Louis-Noel Bestion de Camboulas

Juliette Hurel's ALPHA opname van Mozart's fluitkwartetten werd enthousiast ontvangen door de internationale pers; de grote radiostations roemden haar warme fluitklank en grote muzikale frisheid. Nu volgt een opname met werken van J. S. Bach op hetzelfde label, waaronder de beroemde Suite in B-klein, charmante aria's uit de Koffiekantate of de zeer complexe Partita in A-klein.

After a Mozart release with the Quatuor Voce, Juliette Hurel has devised a programme focusing on Bach, featuring two staples of the flute repertoire: the Suite for Orchestra No.2 with its famous Badinerie and the Partita for Solo Flute, his only work for the unaccompanied instrument. To complement this, she has chosen to assemble the most celebrated arias with a prominent part for solo flute, very rarely played outside the works for which they were written: the Easter Oratorio (‘Seele, deine Spezereien’), the St Matthew Passion (‘Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben’), the Coffee Cantata (‘Ei wie schmeckt’) and the Cantata ‘Ich habe genug’. For this recording, she plays a modern wooden flute and was keen to work with a Baroque ensemble performing on period instruments and a soprano well versed in this music, Maïlys de Villoutreys, a rising vocal star of French scene. The magnificent Trio Sonata BWV 1038 completes the programme in the spirit of chamber music.
