DUBOIS
Piano Concerto No. 2, Frithiof Overture, Dixtuor
Vivianne Wagner [piano]
Les Siècles / François-Xavier Roth
The brilliant musician Théodore Dubois (1837-1924) was an exceptionally gifted student at the Conservatoire de Paris, winning many awards, particularly in piano and composition, including his first Grand Prix de Rome in 1861.
On his return to France, he steadily progressed: he taught harmony at the Conservatoire from 1871 and ten years later became head of composition, before his appointment as director in 1896, a position he held until his retirement in 1905.
He combined these duties with various music-related positions in the Church, notably as organist of La Madeleine (1877-1896). He received several official honours and became a member of the Institut in 1894.
Works as varied as 'Ouverture de Frithiof', the original 'Dixtuor' for double quintet or the highly romantic 'Concerto pour piano' prove that, while respecting his principles of clarity and tradition, Dubois was sensitive to modern developments.
His inspiration was eclectic and his work touches on all genres, appealing to Franck and Schumann, as much as Brahms and Saint-Saëns.
François-Clément Théodore Dubois (24 August 1837 – 11 June 1924).
