Ensemble arabesquesAbout
But the final impetus to devote an album to Jacques Ibert came from a meeting with Véronique Ibert Péréal, the granddaughter of the composer. She heard the Deux mouvements by her grandfather live for the first time in a concert at the Goethe Institute in Paris – a very special experience for Madame Ibert Péréal! After the concert, she movingly expressed her thanks to the Ensemble arabesques. A wonderful evening with intensive discussions followed, leading to the firm resolution to carry through with the idea for an Ibert CD.
The highlight of the album is probably the Capriccio, a work that is by no means an everyday part of the core musical repertoire. Employing 10 instruments – a combination of strings, woodwinds, brass and harp – it is on the borderline between orchestral and chamber music.
“Each of the instruments in the score is almost always treated in the concertante style. The aesthetics of this piece simply obey my fantasy, inasmuch as it does not adhere to any procedure or preconceived system.” – Jacques Ibert on the Capriccio
In 2011, the German-French cultural festival arabesques was launched in Hamburg. With more than 50 events each year, it is now the biggest festival of its type in northern Germany. The Ensemble arabesques, which to begin with was active only during the festival, has now developed its own momentum and performs in Germany and abroad throughout the year. The ensemble is made up of musicians from the three major Hamburg orchestras – the Philharmonic State Orchestra Hamburg, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra. In varying combinations, the artists focus mainly on unusual musical projects ranging from baroque to modern. Little-known composers or works that have fallen into oblivion form a central part of the ensemble's work.
