Herve NiquetAbout
If the music he composed for the competition in 1864 was not deemed worthy of being awarded a prize, perhaps that was due to it being full of a troubling and disquieting sense of modernity: there is clearly nothing that the cantata Ivanhoé need fear in a comparison with Il Trovatore.
Hervé Niquet, the Brussels Philharmonic and Glossa now present the second volume in their survey of music composed for the Prix de Rome, with the majority of such pieces being previously unrecorded and absolutely crying out to become much better-known.
