Albert Roussel - Complete Chamber Music

This set is worth having for the impromptu for harp solo (cd2, tr. 1) alone. While fully maintaining its mysterious powers to enchant, Roussel has a way of handling the instrument which does away with its aura of sentimental sweetness. The solo is an integerly sounding piece; and perhaps this predicate perfectly summarises the qualities of most works from the hand of this French master. Roussel’s compositions don’t seek to win over his audience with striking effects or technical virtuosity. They’re just there – clear, solid, peaceful and comforting.

As stated in the booklet, Roussel was overshadowed by his contemporaries Ravel and Debussy. Far too modest a man, he wouldn’t have wanted to make his music an issue of competition…no other way for him but to devote himself to his talents in solitude. And talking about solitude – I think that, somehow, this state of being is reflected in the man’s music...
