Recordings 1919-1940

Philippe Gaubert - a close friend of Honegger, Cortot, Thibaud, Paul Valéry, Barthou, Giraudoux and Tristan Bernard, to name but a few - can only be fully appreciated when set in his historical and cultural contexts. His musical activities were multiple, but his teacher Paul Taffanel described him as 'the greatest flautist of his time'. His playing displayed a wonderfully mellow tone. In 1922, he gave up playing the flute because his lips were too sensitive.

The recordings presented here show the qualities that made him one of the great conductors of the French school: absolute control, fine rendering of dynamics, an excellent balance between different groups of instruments - quite a feat, considering recording conditions. He also devoted a considerable part of his life to composition, writing almost eighty (unnumbered) works, including music for three films, a 'drame lyrique' (Sonia, 1912), two ballets, chamber works and a large quantity of orchestral music, some of which is presented on this recording. Gaubert's orchestral pieces show a perfect mastery of the instruments, melodic inspiration, a bold use of harmony, sparkling rhythms and a well thought-out overall structure.

As composer, conductor, instrumentalist and teacher, Gaubert was a fine example of the all-round artist-indeed, specialisation was uncommon. The change came about after the Second World War, with the arrival of LPs, and the subsequent glorification of conductors, Herbert von Karajan being a prime example.
