As I wasn’t very familiar with Canadian violinists, I was a bit hesitant to buy the CD when I first discovered Angele Dubeau – Solo.
But since I was looking for a violin solo CD, I decided to give this one a try.
I must say I am amazed by the superb techniques of Angele Dubeau.
In this CD, Dubeau has selected music from the Baroque period as well as from the more contemporary folk, jazz and tango:
- Pietro Antonio Locatelli (1695 – 1764): Caprice No. 9 in C major
- George Enescu (1881 – 1955): Prelude Op. 9, No. 1;
- Astor Piazzolla (1921 – 1992): Etude-Tango No. 1, 3, and 4;
- Alan Ridout ( 1934 – ): Ferdinand le taureau/Ferdinand the Bull;
- Srul Irving Glick (1934 – 2002): Serenade & dance;
- Dave Brubeck (1920 – ): Bourree;
- Bartolomeo Campagnoli (1751- 1827): Divertimento Op. 18, No. 7
Out of the entire CD, I find the interpretation of Ferdinand the Bull the most interesting and expressive. Not only is the music fun to listen, the narration is very whimsical.
