about

"Maxim Emelyanychev’s affinity with Mozart is well known, especially when it comes to piano works: in 2018, the conductor and keyboardist treated us to a recording that not only displayed his virtuosity and musicianship, but also revealed his remarkably close understanding of the composer’s music.
Today, the symphonies are the focus of his first long-term project with Il Pomo d’Oro, an ensemble he has been working with as its conductor since 2013. As he points out, this project, aiming eventually to provide a complete set of Mozart symphonies, is unlike anything he has recorded with the ensemble hitherto on period instruments. The approach here is original: each volume will feature an early symphony by Mozart, together with one of his great mature symphonies, which will enable the listener to perceive his many facets, revealed in the course of his development.
Each volume will also include a bonus work, featuring a special guest. Inaugurating the series, Maxim Emelyanychev himself provides the hors d’œuvre with Concerto no. 23 K.488, played on a fortepiano, before going on to conduct Mozart’s Symphonies nos. 1 and 41, his first and his last, as the main course of this delightful feast!"

"On connaissait les affinités de Maxim Emelyanychev avec le compositeur salzbourgeois, et notamment au pianoforte : en 2018, le chef et claviériste nous avait gratifiés d’un disque Mozart dans lequel on avait pu constater, outre sa virtuosité et son instinct musical, toute l’étendue de son intime compréhension de sa musique.
Aujourd’hui, c’est aux symphonies qu’il s’attèle pour le premier projet au long cours d’Il Pomo d’Oro, qu’il dirige depuis 2013. Projet qui, ainsi que le chef le pointe, n’a rien à voir avec tout ce qu’il a pu enregistrer jusque-là avec l’ensemble sur instruments d’époque, et qui vise à terme l’intégrale. L’originalité de la démarche réside dans l’agencement des œuvres, chaque volume mettant en regard une des « grandes » symphonies de maturité et une de jeunesse.
Chaque volume comprend, en plus des symphonies, un “bonus” mettant en avant un invité particulier. Pour ce premier volume, c’est en toute logique Maxim Emelyanychev qui ouvre le bal au pianoforte, avec le 23e Concerto K. 488. Aux côtés de ce hors-d’œuvre musical, c’est aux première et dernière symphonies que le chef et son orchestre, entamant le fil par les deux bouts, inaugurent ces agapes mozartiennes. "
