| AGP51 is the first of
two devoted to the French composer Gilbert Amy. Like Bruno Maderna in
Italy, Amy enjoyed a successful career as a conductor (among other
things, succeeding Boulez as conductor of Domaine Musical), while also
producing a moderate-sized catalog of quality compositions. Also like
Maderna, Amy brought from his experience in conducting a fine ear for
orchestral tone combinations. That aspect of Amy's work is especially
celebrated in this installment, which includes three of his most
notable compositions, all featuring the orchestra. Strophe (1964-1966)
is for soprano voice and orchestra, Trajectoires (1966-1967) for violin
and orchestra, and Chant (1967-1969) for orchestra alone. The installment is transcribed from two LPs on the Erato and Disques Ades labels. It includes a text file containing liner notes from the two LPs. The liner notes from the latter release are in French, and are an unedited output of my OCR program.
