About

Vincent d’Indy is one of the most important yet neglected figures in French musical history. Though he was celebrated as a teacher, his eclectic yet inventive orchestral music has taken longer to secure him fame. The Symphony No.2 in B flat major has a powerful architectural design within which tensions between tradition and innovation are played out, and through which the composer draws on folk motifs and his religious faith alike. The powerful, grief-laden symphonic poem Souvenirs was dedicated to the memory of his late wife whilst Istar is a majestic series of variations. The Prelude to Fervaal, his first opera, reveals atmospheric Wagnerian writing.

Jean-Luc Tingaud was born in 1969 and studied with Manuel Rosenthal, himself a pupil of Maurice Ravel. His concert engagements include the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, Orchestra of Opera North, Orchestra Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini, Orchestra of the Teatro Carlo Felice, Genoa, Orchestra of the Teatro Massimo, Palermo, the Warsaw and Kraków Philharmonic Orchestras, Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, Orchestre National de Lyon, and the Orchestre National de Lorraine. His recordings include Sapho (Wexford), Werther (Martina Franca), La voix humaine (Compiègne), and Le siège de Corinthe (Bad Wildbad), and most recently for Naxos music by Paul Dukas and Georges Bizet.

Reviews

Christmas 2016

An honest and enjoyable interpretation.

October 2016

Both works are superbly done. The anguish of Souvenirs really hits home. Istar sounds very sensual and the RSNO have a field day with its virtuoso scoring, particularly the brass and woodwind, who are on fine form throughout

1st November 2016

A generally attractive package of lovely music that deserves to be more widely known.

Classical Ear October 2016

[Jean-Luc Tingaud] presides over a finely prepared account of this imposing work; indeed, his conception possesses impressive cogency, fiery purpose and intelligent observation…here, then, is a generously full, vividly engineered anthology which can be strongly recommended – and it won't break the bank either!
