Info zu Le monde d'hier

In Le monde d’hier, bassonist Mathieu Lussier and pianist Francis Perron explore French and English repertoire for bassoon written at beginning of the 20th century.

The composers recorded here, including Elgar, Gounod, Massenet, and Saint-Saëns, fully embraced the Romantic movement of their era. Gabriel Pierné’s almost jazzy Solo de concert rubs shoulders with the noble and introspective Romance by Edward Elgar. Lussier has also chosen grand sonatas by Camille Saint-Saëns and William Hurlstone, as well as smaller works and short vignettes by Herbert Howells, Eugène Bourdeau, Charles Gounod, Jules Massenet, and Philippe Gaubert.

He is called upon to act as principal bassoon with such ensembles as Ensemble Arion (Montreal) ,Les Violons du Roy (Quebec City) and Apollo’s Fire (Cleveland). He is also frequently invited to play with groups like Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra (Toronto) and the Boston Early-Music Festival.

He teaches Baroque bassoon at McGill University and modern bassoon as the Université du Québec à Montréal. Also very active as a chamber musician, being member of Ensemble Pentaèdre of Montreal, the Caliban Quartet of Bassoonists and Musica Franca.

His solo recordings include the Concerto for oboe and bassoon in G major by Vivaldi, the first available recording of Graupner’s Concerto in B flat major, Telemann’s Concerto for 2 flutes and bassoon as well as a CD devoted to Michel Corrette with the gamba duo Les Voix Humaines. In the past years he has released CDs of François Devienne’s music for bassoon and strings, sonatas for bass instruments by Boismortier with Musica Franca and a disc of flute and bassoon concerti of Vivaldi, with Claire Guimond and Arion.

The «Five Caprices for bassoon», following their recording by bassoonist Nadina Mackie, were the subject of a master class at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Philadelphia.
