It follows the 3-movement form as established by Chausson's teacher and mentor César Franck and employs the cyclic form of recurring themes. The first movement follows a personal adaptation of sonata-form, dividing the development section into several sections, with a highly dramatic slow introduction, introducing the solemn main theme of the symphony. It slowly builds to an anguished climax only to be followed by a very swift and light-hearted allegro vivo in the key of B-flat major. The second subject is more relaxed and harmonized in chromatic-impressionistic chords. After a sudden heightening tension the Allegro Vivo theme is restated and the movement closes triumphantly. The second movement is an A-B-A' structure and brings in mind Chausson's songs. It begins darkly in the key of D minor. The second subject, in B flat, is more optimistic. This builds up in a double climax, the second being a rather bold restatement of the first subject. The movement ends in D major. The third movement is a rondo supplemented by an epilogue, not unlike the finale in Franck's Symphony in D minor. The beginning is rather tempestuous, expressed in swift sixteenth-note figures alternating inexorably between strings and woodwind. The second theme is a brass chorale, reminiscent of Franck. The conclusion of the symphony is undoubtedly the most moving of all with the theme of the first movement stealing in and fading away in the end. Not at all prolific, Chausson (1855-1899) left behind only 39 compositions with opus numbers. Musical creation for him always proved to be a long, painful struggle. The quality and originality of his compositions, however, are consistently high and his works continue to appear on the concert programs and recordings of leading singers and musicians everywhere.Format: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Ernest ChaussonNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: ChandosEAN: 0095115836927 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
