Albéric Magnard (1865-1914)
Sonate for violin and piano op.13
Pièces for piano
Robert Zimansky - violin
Christoff Keller - piano
Katharina Weber - piano
Composer Albéric Magnard is most famous for the manner in which he died: near the start of World War One, he was shot in his garden (or in his upstairs window – accounts differ) by renegade German soldiers, who then set fire to his house and all the musical manuscripts inside. He was not yet fifty. While alive, he enthused over Beethoven's music, and his early mentors included Massenet. The one composer who may have had the most influence on him was César Franck, through Vincent d'Indy, who taught Magnard between 1888 and 1892.
There are moments in his symphonic works that do sound very much like Franck, and other commentators have described him as a sort of Gallic Schumann. Whatever his influences were, there's little denying that his early music is fairly conservative. Only his late works take off in new directions, and the innovation has more to do with combination of older styles than with the invention of new ones. In the past twenty years, a resurgence of interest in Magnard's music has revealed him to be a composer of stature and skill.
